Lets see your Watches

Let's have some pics when it arrives

Well, it arrived, and is still wrapped in its plastic. It doesn't come with a light, just lume. Never expected that from a G Shock, especially one that retails for the wrong side of £1k.....having done some research, the MTG-G (my last one), has LED illumination, but the MTG-S do not.

Am now deciding whether to resize the bracelet & just live with it, or return it. Whilst the light isn't used that often, as a travel watch with multiple time zones it was a god send - navigating strange hotel rooms at night without turning lights on etc (the LED was that bright!), alongside the obvious of checking the time :P .

The distressed black certainly has a lot less bling factor. To get a distressed MTG-G, it needs to be rose gold effect which just isn't me really. Plus given the bargain half price deal I got this one for, I'd have to find another £800 and frankly that isn't worth it for a G Shock. Even the price I paid was a stretch.

Ho hum, decisions.
 
I'm starting to get into Microbrand watches as took delivery a while back of the Straton Curve Chrono which I subscribed to on a Kickstarter scheme. Quality, weight and build is superb and like the fact with Microbrand watches you are far less likely to see another as generally very limited runs.

Deicided to go with another brand called Boldr who did a kickstarter on their Journey watch last year so after trying to track down one still for sale have ordered from Germany which is the Wasp model. Was attracted to this watch due to the domed mineral crystal face which distorts around the edges and layered dial with numeric and baton cutouts. Not an expensive watch at 250 quid but attractive as a daily wearer.

Yes they went with my string backed helmet. Use to wear them in the Z3 as my aluminium knob would freeze in winter :?

Often looked when they come up on TZ SC but always the wrong time. I do like them and they are a classic.

Picked this up in duty free on my way out . Needed a new easy set world time device , this is great for that , just set the city code , click the button and it just adjusts everything to where your at and compensates for daylight saving , speaks to the sky and just sorts itself out .

Collected this little number today :)

Autodromo Monoposta automatic. This watch was released in 2012 in a black, white and blue dial editions with the black and white totalling 200 pieces each and the blue 100. The black and white are still available from Page and Cooper but took me a bit of searching abroad to get hold of an unsold blue dial.

Nice review of this watch here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stxqzotB_dU&t=396s

Watched the review - lovely looking watches but I think I'd choose the black rather than the azzurro. :thumbsup:
