Watches - another OCD problem
-
Great watches @Anesthetist @Flash
@Anesthetist is it the current model? Such an iconic classic watch and still a sporty
@Flash love the speedy had one some years ago, the plexi version loved it a lot, unfortunately got stolen. And of course a vintage sub is always sweet, just do proper research before buying re condition of case/lugs, original pieces service dial or not etc

It has a 2006 serial and I bought it new in 2007 as an early graduation present to myself. New it was $3600, now they are over $5K. I like this version much better than the new model whereas the case seems disproportionate to the hands.
Thanks for the compliments gents
-
@Anesthetist and @Flash - both very nice watches.
-
Flash, that datejust is seriously amazing!
-
Thanks guys
@grandmasterben the datejust is a really nice watch but a bit too flashy for me
-
just to add on to the amount of rolexes here. recently decided to change back to the nato strap after spending some time with the bracelet.
-
@Sugar Mountain but isn't HK one of the easier places in the world to find a vintage sub?
@louisbosco Yes indeed. Even within a half mile radius of my apartment there are several shops selling beautiful old 5513 and 5512 etc. They're actually so commonplace it is marginally off-putting but it is still such a great watch.

On the swiss tip. I picked this up over xmas before the AUD went to total shite like it's planned to. Price was too good to pass up.
Met my criteria of being unknown unless you know about watches, black/dark dial, Lumes, date @ 3, water resistant to 100's of meters, reliable as, and no fuss servicing..

Here's my Citizen - much thanks @Chris who even adjusted both date and time for me
Titanium, sapphire glass, eco drive (no battery), Japan made - bit boring, but it has its merits. Love how the dials turn silver-green when there's less light. Much more classy and discrete lume than my Monster, that's for sure…

@Sugar Mountain the 5512/13 is a watch you can never get bored with. it's special in a sense that even if you're bored of seeing it, you're not bored of seeing it.

Very nice @Snowy - I had a 3227-01 for a year or so and letting it go is probably my biggest WIS regret…
-
I love the Ingenieur line and at one point owned the midsized model with rose gold hands. I miss it a bit but that version was a bit small. I may have to own another some day. Here is today's wear for me:
Seul, that Citizen looks like a great mix of sport and class. Wear her in good health!

@GingerMagician Seems like a lot of people flick through IWC's after a few years, short of the IWC forum, not a lot of keepers. Hoping to keep this, as they do age wonderfully!
@Anesthetist always love the simplicity of Nomos' face. Nice strap too.

@Snowy I missed your post of the Ingenieur the other day. Probably because I was checking the forum from China and images weren't showing up.
Nice looking piece, and glad you got a bargain.
SIHH has just opened in Switzerland, and it's the first of the two big watch shows. I'm currently liking the new version of the Jaeger LeCoultre Extreme Lab 2, which is probably the most over-engineered watch you can get.

Nice looking piece, and glad you got a bargain.Thanks for your help on that @Graeme. With the Franc going crazy as well as the AUD, I think I got in at a very good time.

I want to pick up a new strap for my Dad's birthday to go on what was my Granddad's Omega. The current strap is pretty tatty and not particularly good so I thought it would be good to get a decent strap to complement it.
I've been looking at the Uniform Wares brown calf leather strap which I think could work. I just wondered if anyone had any recommendations. I'm in London based so would prefer UK based stores, but feel free to post up anyone else that might be worth checking out.
Cheers
