Ok so fantasy collecting here. You have a rolex, you have a omega so what Diver...maybe keep the black theme going.

1, Panerai Pam111
2. Submariner....but for some reason this feels like a 3 brand collection. Subs solid.
3. Breiting Superocean.

Three icons there. Maybe add the original with the fifty fathoms? As a budget option I love the Rado Captain Cook too.

TBH, a nice Seamaster or Pelagos would suffice.

Wouldn't be going mad now :pac:

Breitling Superocean Heritage would be my vote, mesh bracelet to keep the collection diverse!

There's a certain pattern there in Fitzgeme's post above...:D

Doesnt work as well for me, I think its the way the sharkmesh joins to the case puts me off, and lack of crown guards. Still a good looking trio.

For some reason I'm not gone on Breitlings at all.

Some brands are just like that, nothing grabs you. I'm the same with breitling. I prefer a clean dial. Super ocean mesh strap looks like a badly fitted after market bracelet to me.

Crown guards would be a must for me.
Experience has led to me learning that unless the crown sits quite high, that I will invariably develop some kind of rash.

I have a superocean 2 and it wears really well on my wrist and scratches my Breitling itch.
The heritage, I'd just be worried that the rash would turn me off an otherwise smashing watch.

I couldn't guess at a trio, my actual current trio is a superocean 2, a Sinn U2 SDR and a B&R 03-92 GMT.

The B&R actually has the problem I fear the Heritage might have.
I love the watch, wearing it leaves the back of my wrist with rash from lack of said crown guards.

Here's a pic of a watch of mine



For those who notice the specks on the sapphire crystal - yeah it's magnified around 20x I guess from lifesize so those specks are micrometers in size probably - I did give the crystal a good clean and dust blow but there'll always be some minute dust on the crystal

Kickstarter still expected in June?

When do you hope to take delivery of watches or does that depend on how long the Kickstarter takes?

Thirdfox

Sadly I think it will need to be pushed to August - seeing I'll only be sending out the watch to 2 of 6 reviewers on Monday - they'll need some time to produce their reviews and the two watches will be travelling around the globe too. The campaign will be launched before all the reviews are out though. I'm expecting the launch to occur in August and finish by the end of August.

Delivery would hopefully be in January 2021 (so after our Christmas rush and before Chinese New Year shuts down China in February).

Nomos today!

Beside my new (to me) toy (blue 5000 will appreciate).

Nice watch but, obvious Yoga "Nomos Day" joke fail.

blue5000

Not sure which to be more jealous of,:p this week it would be the mower, but you can use the Nomos all year round Enjoy them both.:cool:

Even that I'd be worried about the screen...

Gshock all metal gets my vote for robustness

Only 7! Tractor engine is a little “tired” so stuck with 7.

Is it true what they say about the length of mans mower?

It's not the length, it's the width (of the blades)

Some new bling to fuel my modding addiction this morning. Found this old SRP775 buried down the listings on Adverts from last year. Took a punt on it, pictures weren't great, looking sorry for herself on a poundshop bracelet. Gave her a good scrub and a cheap Khaki nato and she has a whole new lease of life. Literally not a scratch aside from an unfortunate scuff on the bezel. Full set (bar the OEM bracelet) Irish watch and still a years warranty left with Ernest Jones!


I'm tempted to leave it as-is, maybe a just flat sapphire with clear AR. It's a lot of watch for the money, loving the drilled lugs and 4R36 compared to the 7S26 in my SKX. My first Prospex, the build quality, fit, finish is a step above. Was apprehensive about the size of the case but to be honest it sits very snug on a 7" wrist.

If it were me I would just put a rubber strap on it.

Are you going to tell us how much you paid?

hitemfrank

I was wearing this



But then this showed up



It definitely needs a new strap but that should be sorted this week or early next week.

david

Yeah I’ll see how it goes. My preference is rubber for divers alright but I already have black rubber on my SKX. Might throw it on an old Z22 I have but long term I couldn’t live with it, there’s more ‘give’ in a rich tea biscuit than those yokes. I hear the newer design Seiko rubbers are a lot nicer. If anyone has something to sell lying around shoot me a PM.

The ad was listed at €210 no offers. They accepted a low ball at €190 with collection as they were local.

If you're after a rubber strap, I can't recommend Barton Elite Silicone highly enough. Wonderfully comfortable, quick release spring bars and a lot of colour options available.

I think I'll go a different direction with this one given my SKX is on a Crafter Blue. Thinking an OEM Oyster or Strapcode Super Engineer 2, just a shame Amazon UK aren't shipping Strapcode right now.

I think that Nato suits it well, the colours are complimentary.
