What watch do you wear?

Picked up this on Saturday. Been on the look out for a bronze watch for a while, something a bit different. It's on the brown calfskin strap but I really like the military green textile strap they do. Went into IWC today and they had every colour in stock except for the green. They had a green nato band that I think would look good but it has dull grey sliders on it and they don't do them in bronze.

Found this online, a place I've bought from before but feel it may look a bit cheap, it is a sixth of the price of the IWC one. https://www.strapify.com.au/product...rmy-green-bronze?_pos=29&_fid=c6896762f&_ss=c

IWC Pilots Spitfire Chrono. Two years old, not much patina on it yet so barely worn - although it looks more in this picture. Difficult to get a photo of it as it looks blue in different lights / shadows. Built up a decent relationship with the owner of the shop being this the 3rd one I've had off him. Put into my collection in the Chrono 24 app and it showed an immediate "profit" of 18%.

 
I picked up something a bit different - a Casio A159WGE, the same one Jeff Goldblum wears in Kaos.

Now to buy the striped tracksuit and gold rimmed sunglasses!
 
I've been considering a zenith defy black ceramic for a number of months now and never quite pulled the trigger. I see Tissot have a PRX in Ceramic coming out that's priced at about 20% of the new price of the Zenith... maybe grab one if I can and then can always upgrade to the Zenith if it gets the wear to justify it (between that, Apple Watch Ultra and my speedy)

Be interesting to see the patina develop on that, nice watch! Does it have the Easy x change system?

I have my eye on a Spitfire in bronze, amongst a dozen other watches!

Just don't drop it! I learnt the hard way.

Something a little different arrived today; Anordain Model 1 Fume in plum with a handmade enamel dial which when the light catches it really is something else. Definitely worth the (long) waiting time. A little tricky to photograph!

That is a really lovely dial. I saw some of the original Model 1s a few years back at a watch fair and they were very nice but your dial is rather a step above.
