You think that'll be any good?

I would just buy the Bergeon suggested. It's what I bought It's not that much more money.

I'll not say too much just now but I'm in two minds in whether to order them up now or wait until I get a watch book delivered at the start of next week before pulling the trigger. But on the basis of the watches you've posted so far they'll make yours look normal

His BioShock style watch is not normal!

How may GS do you have btw?

Mine will go on a Barton Elite Silicone for sure but in a matching colour variant to go with whatever dial or hand accent I end up choosing. A £17 strap on a circa £5l watch

Quality straps though. I'd need to get the Seiko leather strap too so I can swap over the GS deployment clasp just to keep things looking OEM.

This is all thinking ahead though.... A bit of a way off yet before all this

I "only" have those 2, my Yin & Yang couple (SBGR0183 & SBHG047)

Those Grand Seikos look awesome @Chewie

Thank you.

I am intrigued, you didn't win the lotto and spent some woolongs at Jacob & Co did you?

You know you want one secretly, the final batch of the 250 production comes in August/September, set your reminder

For some reason I thought you had at least 3!

As much as I'd like to say yes, unfortunately it's quite the opposite end of the price scale however if my euromillions ticket comes in tonight then I may post up a couple of flashier watches

I've had 2 straps from Barton so far (the latest 3 have not yet been delivered but left NYC on the 21st apparently!) and have had no customs charges. It appears that because the value is £15 or less and Barton ship one by one, they slip by customs

Brilliant thanks, 3 on the way

Perlon straps arrived from watch obsession today. Ordered navy,orange and light grey and so far this is my favourite.

Spoiler: Didnt realise how big the image was

Took me a while to work out how to adjust the strap but got there

 

[Janesy B]

Nice combo.

 

[Jony27]

Thanks! I thought I'd be going for the orange(it'll have its days) but the shade of blue just matches the watch perfectly imo.

 

[Janesy B]

Speaking of Orange...

The case design on the C65 looks really nice too, bored of slab sided plain cases.

Another wee review video you might like this time on the new limited editon Doxa forged carbon sub 300

Not only am I getting watch envy, I now have wrist envy with all you guys with normal sized wrists! LOL. I like that watch @Janesy B

I read an article today about what the world's welthiest people wear from Muk to Gates. Unsurprisingly Gates rotates a bunch of Casios he likes. What a guy!

https://luxurylaunches.com/watches/...bill-gates-proudly-wears-a-70-casio-watch.php

Maybe I am indeed just happy with my Timex and vintage Casios and Marloes

Brilliant thanks, 3 on the way

Hopefully your shipment arrives in steady time. My order of 3 straps shipped on July 1st and only just yesterday does tracking show it reaching London.

I am hoping it slips through the letterbox tomorrow or Tuesday as I am off so can spend all day marvelling at strap combinations. How sad!

No major rush as the watch hasn't been delivered yet

Just watched a watchfinder video on a Credor and all is clear now. I saw one posted on Pistonheads and was confused as to why some were quite wowed by it as I'd never seen one before nor heard of the name. I now know why and once saw the price of £50,000 my eyes watered. I should have known though, the moment I saw that Springdrive sweep of the seconds hand, there was no mistake that this was a Seiko piece.

So why is it £50k?

- The dial is hand made, hand finished and it takes 1 man a whole day just do do the dial.
- The dial cracks during the process and there are more binned cracked dials than uncracked due to this process.
- Only 1 man in the world is capable of making this dial.
- Precious metals everywhere.

The list goes on...

An interesting watch @mrk

I've got tiny wrists, pretty much every leather strap I have is on the first or second hole.

 

[fobose]

Mine will make yours look big! I think I had a growth spurt at a weird time in my younger years so I have longer forearms than most (or so I think anyway). I now have a 'short' strap which is 105 + 70mm and I can easilly use the smallest lug hole on that but I use the second smallest.

The watch I wear is 38mm which just about looks ok. I have a 36mm which looks a lot more appropriate on my wrist.

Everyone can have a giggle at my expense today
