Got meself a 38mm Hamilton "Murph". Really love the classic dress watch look. No complications. I love my two Grand Seikos but this is my daily wear
I managed to bag myself the latest Kurono Tokyo (Malachite). I'll post a pic when I get it in a couple of months
..... So much for stopping at two...but I was warned here

Called into the Longines boutique in Weirs last week for a "look" at the new hydroconquest.
It was the last black 42mm they had in stock.
I'd planned to treat myself later this year (big birthday) but said feck it and pulled the trigger now.
Very happy with it, nice experience in the boutique.
And the free hat cinched the deal for me.😆

I was wanting a bright holiday watch and was thinking of doing an AliX parts build myself, but NH34 movement prices are getting pretty expensive (and I'm not sure I trust the waterproofness of something I build) so landed on this Spinnaker Dumas.
Comes with both this quick change bracelet and a blue rubber strap that matches the lighter blue colour on the bezel. The bracelet is decent enough aside from the clasp feeling a bit tinny. Still at least as good as an OEM Seiko bracelet though.
San Martin and probably many other Asian brands might be better VFM overall, but happy with this one.

Living in reversoland we have May weather in June. Feckity. 😡😁
Wish I could get a decent pic of this dial. Fine sunburst background, the red matte accents are slightly raised, the blue gloss accents much more so, the white text on top is flat. It's more like a low relief than a print.
Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

I think that looks PERFECT on your wrist tbh - the size is part of how faithful a reissue it is. I reckon it’s a really handsome watch, I personally love the faux aged lume effect. It’s really balanced and superb heritage.
Even with my 8” plus wrists I would have bought it…if it didn’t have fixed lugs. I just don’t like nato type straps, personal preference. But great choice sir - very cool watch.
======When it was issued and I read an article on it I wanted something similar, so found a NOS H69419363 (38mm, manual wind, ETA 2804 - 2 as opposed to H50) with the olive green dial:
Not nearly as cool as your 250th limited edition, but happy nonetheless.
My VAER S5 Calendar Field Black is consequently listed for sale, eventhough it wins hands down from a value / tool perspective.
I suppose the lack of ar coating and inferior lume is compensated every morning when I get to manual wind the Hamilton. 🤓🫣 No idea how I got a woman to marry me.

I’ve no idea why nobody threw a bid at me for this Boldr 3xT when having a clear-out recently, but their loss is my gain.
Have thrown it on a generic orange rubber strap, and it’s going foreign with me for a few weeks tomorrow as my summer beater.

Also, I’ve recently been having an illicit affair with @H_Lime . The sort where I part with money and he gives me stuff!
Anyways, have picked up a fair few watches from him, most of which will be up for sale when I get back.
Anyone that’s purchased from him before will vouch for the workmanship of his stuff. These pieces are next level, even for him!
