I'm in Zurich, just been down the Bahnhofstrasse. My face was pressed up against every watch shop window. So many nice watches
What watch do you wear?

Here ya go.
Don't do vids at 0.38Mbps upload
My normal watch is 40mm so as you see it's quite a bit bigger
The other pictures are not as good as I would have liked as I had to get camera focused then press button on watch and sort of panic pressed camera button.
Top dial is hour - bottom is minutes + one of numbers in bottom window - 1-4 - time there is 3.50 to 3.54. - watch is 2 min slow - light in between dials is pm
Width is 43mm
height is 53mm to ends of lugs
Strap is 33mm at watch and 21 at buckle.
I never noticed my grey hair

How thin are your wrists, Dave? I always thought I had quite skinny wrists, but your Archimede Outdoor looks much bigger on you than mine does on me!My normal watch is 40mm so as you see it's quite a bit bigger [...]

I just put a tape round them and they are 160mm - remember I am a skinny old man and nothing is as big as it used to be

Just had the Halios email about Delfin availability. Anyone interested can order it now with stainless steel bracelet at €685. Has some great specs similar to the Tropik but with 500m water resistance.
43.5mm though else I'd have my order in already and be putting the Tropik for sale as the Delfin looks so so good especially that domed ceramic bezel.

I'm after a new watch as I've had my seiko sportura kinetic for 7 years now and it's getting a bit scruffy.
Really like the look of the citizen AT8010-58E for about £300. Any opinions on this watch? Better alternatives?

Not exactly what I usually like, but still a lovely piece of kit.

Might pull the trigger for this watch - http://www.hillierjewellers.co.uk/w...-p2398/s3998?gclid=CPLKxP7G5cACFc7HtAodwgUARA

New toy
I've been fancying one of these for a while; I don't like the look of the new 2013 model and some decent discounts are available on the older one, so seemed like a good time to go for it!
how much was this mate? looks really nice

I do quite like that tissot. Although not a fan of leather straps.
Mine is the older model, the T17.1.526.52 rather than the newer 2013 model T055.417.16.057.00
Difference in the faces can be seen here, though it's the bracelet strap, newer model on left (image from Google):
I paid 200, it's ex-display but not used, no marks or damage. Similar ex-displays going for less on the auction site, and those retailers which have stock of the older model (it's not that many that I can see) are holding the price around 200-220. Locations vary I'm sure!

Liking the tissot even more with the metal strap. Definitely considering it along with the citizen.
Still really like the PRC200, think it's the black/yellow contrast that gets me.
Got a phone call today to say that my Submariner has arrived and is ready for collection, am rather excited now.

Creation have a sale on at the moment and the Tissot PRC 200 Chrono (T055.417.11.047.00) is on at £245
New or second hand?
My two watches, first off is a Tissot PRC 200:
Please excuse the time and date, the battery died a little while ago and needs replacing but I haven't got around to it yet.
My second is this:
I've wanted a TW Steel for a long time and finally a couple of weeks ago while in London. Really happy with it, I can see it not being my last from them

Well, I've ordered a Citizen AT8010-58E for £284 (RRP is £379).
Tried a few watches on in town the other day, and this was the one that stood out for me in this price bracket.
Bags of features and tech in a nice understated case with sapphire crystal glass.
Hope I've picked a decent watch to replace my old Seiko Sportura kinetic
Will post some pics when I get it....
