Lets see your Watches

Just purchased this, never really considered a bronze watch before or a Tudor to be honest. For the money there’s not many brands out there that can offer a certified Chronometer with an in house movement.
Over time it will develop a nice patina.

Its only March and I'm two up already

Seiko Alpinist which has just been discontinued, I'm hoping they bring a blue dial out next.

And a hmt Pilot, bargain at 20 quid

Thanks Rob, was going to get one last year but couldn't decide on the green then realised production had stopped early this year so snapped a new one up for 250 from Ireland,

One month later and

They were only meant for the Japanese domestic market but became a bit of a cult watch over there so people cottoned on and imported them into the UK. Prices were around the 250 to 300 mark, a bargin for the movement it has but now production has stopped prices has gone a little crazy. I'm not a big Seiko fan although they did some really nice watches in late 60s early 70s.

Very cool. Would love a BB Blue on a nice brown leather strap.

Oh I really don't like you.. Was about to buy this but both my other half and my best mate said nahh don't get that...

Knew I should've got it!

Keep us up to date with the patina

Go for it, ignore what your mates say it's on your wrist not there's.
Early days but at the moment I'm in love with it, I know it's not everybody's cup of tea but that's one of the reason's I purchased it.

Just pulled the trigger on a Geckota chronograph from watchgecko. They do some really nice vintage Heuer inspired watches and straps so couldn't resist whilst they're doing 10% off with a discount code. Its shame they're quartz but for the money and looks can't complain. Hopefully in the future they might bring out an automatic.

Looking forward to seeing what their quality is like, but impressions look good

Nice modern Carrera, good movement as well. Just put a new Calfskin strap on my Zenith.
