This arrived today - I'd been missing having an automatic diver for a while, and fancied something with a bit of colour. It's an automatic and 41mm wide.
No wrist shot yet, as I need to add some extra links.
First impressions are that the bracelet feels a bit average, especially around the clasp - but I'll see what it's like when it's on the wrist. I'm comparing it to my Breitling's bracelet today, which isn't really a fair comparison.0 -

Found a late 1960's bracelet to match it. Very similar to the original optional and daftly rare type.Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

Nice watch Eoin, well you may wear. I might have to break my €200 self-imposed limit for one of these with a white dial, if you are ever tempted to sell......I promise to keep it away from the cow****e:).
The white and red one is a lovely colour combo and a bit different to most of the subs out there. To be honest though, this has reminded me of what good value for money a Steinhart sub is. It's been a while since I owed mine, but I remember the bracelet having a bit of a premium feel and it has the lovely domed crystal.
Don't get me wrong, I do like the Longines - and I like how it's just different enough to not feel too much like a homage. But when it's the guts of 900 quid new, I think there's better out there if you're not too bothered about a brand name.
Anyway, here it is on the wrist. It wears bigger than I thought it would, which I'm happy about as 41mm is smaller than I would normally wear.

Really like that Longines Eoin. I've been on the hunt for a diver with a bit of colour lately and the Archimede Sporttaucher seems to tick all the boxes. €900 or so, red bezel, 41.5mm and not a mercedes hand in sight

Eoin was it from Scotland?;)
Yep, that's the one! It's really growing on me.mynameis905 wrote: »Really like that Longines Eoin. I've been on the hunt for a diver with a bit of colour lately and the Archimede Sporttaucher seems to tick all the boxes. €900 or so, red bezel, 41.5mm and not a mercedes hand in sight

Ordered a distressed Grey NATO leather strap off ebay last week from a seller I have used before for my O1B. I was looking for something to give it more of a casual look but also keep the dress look to it and as I wear it as a daily beater most of the time, to take the weight down a little aswell.
What do you think?

Careful, it's a slippery slope collecting Vostoks. These are just the Komandirskie's in my collection.musiknonstop wrote: »And then there were two…

Was wearing this today.
T'is small at 34 and a bit MM, but wears nice on my thin wrist. Cracking gilt dial on these. Very nice quality stainless steel in the case that wears the years extremely wellRejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things.

Let's get a Friday vibe going.
Here's mine today (again)
Had it regulated a couple of weeks ago and it's gained 4 seconds over the past 13 days.
Rolex 3130 movement. Supposedly the same as the later 4 liner Cosc models.
Really love the lightness of this watch. Sooo comfy.
Have a good weekend everyone.0 -
