Post pics of your watches Part II

Hello folks,
I've been browsing this forum the past few weeks having recently taken an interest in watches.
I know feck all about watches but I picked this up after seeing a video on YouTube about watches that suits a skinny wrist... It's nothing fancy or expensive but I really love it.

I went ahead and bought the blue seamaster on adverts. I was a bit cautious about it as the seller mentioned it was running slow and bought in Asia but to be fair they had good feedback and were up front about it. I figured it might need a service so that was factored into the price we agreed but to be honest I've worn it the last 24 hours and it hasn't lost anything noticeable. Condition is excellent apart from some clasp swirls. The bracelet was a little dirty so could probably benefit from a clean but it's fine for now. This is the 3rd seamaster I've had, the Goldeneye quartz, the latest reference and now this. Think this might be my favourite but that's probably new girlfriend early days talk. I do wish the clasp had even one micro adjustment but I've managed to get a pretty good fit. I might invest in the newer adjustable clasp at some point but I'll wait and see if I keep the watch for a while first! I'm going to leave it on the bracelet. It's very comfortable, probably more so than the newer ref which I found a bit sharp in terms of its structure. The blue on this is really nice. Boxed with cards and all bracelet links with tags and receipt. Happy out.

I had 30 minutes to kill this morning so took a look in Paul Sheeran's new watch emporium. It is pretty slick. Not one, but two bars in it. It was a bit early even for my morning wine though.
I tried on the new Black Bay 54 (37mm) and a 41mm Black Bay navy (the original one with the black dial). Both were fine. I could see myself wearing them, or not.
The surprise like for me was in Panerai of all brands. The Luminor Quarante (PAM01272), their new(ish) 40mm. It was pretty cool, very legible and great lume. No bracelet unfortunately, but good wide leather strap.

I was out this morning for a quick coffee and a look at a watch with another member of the parish.
I took along a few watches he didn't see last time we met up. Not quite heavy hitters but by Christ did it end up a surprisingly heavy watch roll🤣
1st thing I did when I got back home? Was swap the U2 to a rubber, the omega to a turas leather and the IWC over to an AP leather.

Put the seamaster on an Erika's NATO I had lying around while Im waiting for an ultra sonic cleaner from Amazon.. it's only 19mm but is fine. Looking forward to see the dirt come off the bracelet.. few links have what look to be suncream or something on them

That strap really does suit that watch.
I managed to get my Astronaut back from the youngfella yesterday! He has had it commandeered for quite a while. Added back in the removed links(he has lady wrists 🤣🤷♀️) and back on the wrist this morning.
It's a marmite watch but it is one I do smile at every time I wear.

Big fan of the marine nationale style strap
Very comfy.
The ultrasonic cleaner is a winner. It's majorly satisfying and simultaneously gross watching a grey haze of dirt immediately cavitate into suspension the second it's turned on...
My carbs all get a bath in this, one at a time that is. Leaves everything squeeky clean.
