Cheers bud, my first waffle dial. It looks much better in the flesh than the picture shows

That’s the purchases done for a wee while. Saying that, Kathleen said to me last night that she was still to get me my proper birthday and Xmas present and had I seen any jewellery or watches I like. I said I hadn’t really been looking :lol:

Thanks Ed, yes it is nice

Yours is too. It was a toss up between that and the PADI I bought as a daily. There’s nothing wrong with an Xmas present from you to you, that’s what both of mine were

I've had a Tissot PRS200 for over 15 years. It's a great quartz chronograph that I have been very happy with.



I was looking for a mechanical dive watch that would suite my thin wrists. I found this Certina DS Action in 38mm that I've enjoyed for the last year. It's a really solid watch.

I have that same samurai Ed..what strap have you put on that ..is it just a regular Seiko one?

 

[Ed Doe]

Seems like there's a lot love for Seikos here!

Yep just the one it came with I read a few reviews whcih weren't particularly kind about the oe strap but I can't say it's been anything other than a pleasure to wear mine?

Looks fantastic! Love the way the dark shades of gold and red contrast with the black bezel. Glad you took the plunge with this divers

Nice - I recently bought a Garmin Instinct Solar to 'inspire' me to get off my chuff more often and get some exercise, but all it's done is stop me from wearing my 'real' watches . I tried wearing one on each wrist (justifying that on one wrist was my watch, and on the other was a fitness tracker) but after a couple of people asked "why are you wearing two watches?" I stopped. I might just use it for activities but I suspect it may end up being a poorly thought out purchase

I have the same problem, now my Seiko SKX009 is stored, and I have my Garmin 24h/7 on my wrist. And mate, I don't care, I love my Garmin. I only put my Seiko on when I have TV appearance (I am often on TV), so it can match my styling. Other than that, Garmin all the way!

Recent purchase after letting one go.

My Oris Skeletor Artellis watch. Bought in memory of my grand mother with money she left me. I broke it a couple of years ago and with the covid senario and belief it would potentially have to go back to the factory. I had to reluctantly leave it in the bedside drawer. So, in the end, I got in touch with the Watchguy and after a month wait for a slot to get it repaired, I went for a drive in the Zed to drop it off. I was hoping it would be a new winder pin, but ended up as a complete rebuild. Many parts fitted and all fixed and running in a couple of weeks. Keeps better time than ever before. I use it as an occaisional watch, but since repair I havent had a day without it on.


Rebuild is here and you can see how indepth it was. Highly recommend Christian and the guys there.

Thats a nice looking piece with a great story to it

Cheap and cheerful Citizen Eco-drive to add to the collection. Very legible and comfortable. As it's solar powered I can run the stopwatch as a second second hand with impunity

Nice looking watch, cheap or not.

I have a few that I've had for many years too Andy but must find a way to resist buying more as I'm now up to almost 20 watches - madness!!

Why would anyone buy a watch when you can tell the time by looking at your phone?

Why would anyone buy a car when they could catch a bus?

 

[r2uzenblot]

We don't have any buses where I live..... but we do have a mobile phone shop in our town.
