After long thoughts, I make my mind and ordered this from Japan (made for Japan domestic market only):
Titanium with sapphire, solar ,radio controlled sync, world time by selecting time zones (GMT -11 +12)

Love discreet look and functionality  :smitten:

Very nice Northern. I too like the discreet look.
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Seiko solar daily beater, simply can't decide what to get next...

Nice looking Seiko @Masterbates  :onya:

I ordered this Spirit of Concorde chronograph a few weeks ago from The Bradford Exchange. A bit disappointed as I've just had a letter saying that their stocks have run out, despite me pre ordering it...I won't now receive it until the end of July :angry:
It's cheap as watches go..Hopefully the quality will be up to standard otherwise they will be getting it back!

My wife bought me this a number of years back. It's still my favourite 😊

Darn, I cant seem to get away from watches, theyre everywhere (I guess I dont get to choose hobbies, they choose me)


e: uh-huh, and I thought that that messae didnt go anywhere as my phone just froze up... ....hella more pictures than I intended, sorry for that :D

Aaanyways, I kinda like watches. The first one in the pics is a Leijona (Finnish for Lion) 95th anniversary titanium I got from my grandfather when he passed. Nice and lite, goes with a suit pretty well.

In the second pic there's my go on the Fifty Five Fathoms mode that started as a Seiko SNZH60. I changed the dial, bezel ring, straps to look as the original with Hirsch butterfly and movement to a hacking and winding one. I just love how it turned out and the lume is just terrific (in the 4th pic) Next to it there's the missus Mikael Kors.

In the fourth pic from left, theres a Breitling Superocean Heritage 2, the allready mentioned Leijona, a Casio Edifice chrono that I buyed just because of the colors and my daily beater - Suunto X-Lander military. Man they make those Suuntos tough, it has survived over ten years of brutal use, couple tours in Afghanistan, several IED strikes, fishing and stuff...

The colours are just right :D

I just dont reeeeally like chronos as it's not that easy to figure out the seconds (like that would actually matter) if the seconds hand (as in this one) is on the smaller dials. In that sentence the divers are way easyer to use by just rotating the bezel on time and calculating from that. Bananas, banaenaes, I know...

But man, there's some fine timepieces in here as well...  ...now added to my car and turbobike fever, I've got a watchfever as well... ...again!

Oops, I mean it's my favourite watch! Also have an IWC pilot's watch, which is lovely, but this has more sentimental value.

@BlackAdder Do you mean the gold Omega with the brown leather strap?
It was my late Grandfathers watch. Given to him as a "Thank You" present when he worked for the Bristol Stock Exchange. He made someone an awful lot of money and they wanted to thank him!

The Spirit of Concorde watch arrived yesterday. It's ok, but I wouldn't rave about it. I wouldn't have bought it if I'd actually got to handle it before the sale..It's quite lightweight..I like heavy watches.
I'll be keeping it though purely for it's rarity and collectability value.
