Watches - another OCD problem
-
Wearing my ERA Prometheus Tourbillion today. My two other watches are both automatic / self winding so this mechanical manual / non self winding watch is still catching me out. After not wearing the watch for a while, I'll set it to the correct time and then, after some time has passed, glance down to check the time and the hands haven't moved! Why? because I haven't wound the watch . . . first world problems

@Snowy I got very lucky with this pick up. I was offered it from Wempe in London who are a Rolex AD. Generally speaking getting SS professional pieces from the London AD's is even more difficult than the smaller regional AD's.
I bought my Niessing wedding ring from Wempe and this was my only purchase with them. When the 41mm sub was announced in September I sent a very speculative e-mail expressing interest. I got an email from Wempe last week asking me if I wanted to buy the non date sub and they had one set aside for me. I was gobsmacked to be honest as like you I had been trying to get the old 114060 watch for several years with several dealers with whom I have much higher buyer profile, so for Wempe to offer me the new 41mm version within a few weeks of their release was exceptional.
Enjoy your good luck here - wear in good health!

I like the look of the Laco München Chrono. They have printed the registers for the chronograph and the date wheel as grey on black, so that it appears to be a time only watch from a distance.
There's a write-up at Worn and Wound, or you can visit the presale page at Laco.

@Manticore Very nice! Is that a separate bracelet surrounding the watch?

As cool as ice.

A long, long time ago, there were lots of barely known watch brands that didn't survive the Quartz Apocalypse. One such manufacturer was Evans, which as far as I can tell, made a range of affordable, but generally unremarkable, watches. As some of you know, that happens to be my last name (no relation). For that reason, I keep a lookout for them and have purchased a couple over the years. This is my newest, and nothing like any other Evans I've seen previously.
It will need a complete overhaul, but I really like it. -
Love that…..Well done....
For some reason, it reminds of this:
A few years ago, a fishing mate of mine (who is a serious pikey and hangs around dumps and buys bits and pieces that have been salvaged from the skips/dumpsters by the "Recycling Operatives") got hold of one (not the one in the pic, I grabbed that from the web).
I think he probably paid no more than a fiver for it. He had it fully refurbed and then offered it to me for £1000. I just did not have £1000 lying around at the time. I often think about how much I really wanted it….

That's would've been a fun one to own, even if just for the story.

are they actual moon phases and perpetual calendars movements?

Hey @goosehd! It is a zirconium bracelet by Pat Pruitt.
