This is it though I have to confess to having just ordered a new one by accident from a company I use called Geckota , had a bit of a shop in their sale and put a couple of things in my basket. Pressed check out by mistake 😳 Oh well it was a nice price and an interesting piece ,one very much out of my usual black/white dial mo and out of my comfort zone.

Be fun to show that when it arrives, probably in a couple of days, as those guys ship their stuff pretty quickly. 

Happy new year to everyone.

Yes the Orient Star is also a gem, not as pricey as the Sinn's but punching way above it's weight. It great such a well proportioned watch I love the angle of the lugs.Even though they are 19mm they work with 20mm NATO and even a brown leather 20mm which is currently on it.

I highly recommend Orient Star as a brand.

Yes they are interesting, the one I have got is a Geckota branded dress/diver called the Seahunter with a green fading to black dial. It was 50%off or close to. Seemed like worh a punt at 250quid.

Ooo yeah, that's a nice one!! Was looking at that one as well!! Dig the burnt orange with the dive bezels too, has a cool vintage thing going on.

Very nice, and on a personal note, thank you for putting my relatively modest addiction in perspective :)

How's that? It's got an aftermarket leather strap which is really good on here. It came on a reasonable black leather strap with deployant clasp originally.

Thanks , it is a good looker . They do it in a blue dial version too which is nice too, quite dark blue.

I believe the correct number is the highest your partner will tolerate.

Very nice collection and one to be proud of.

I thought I was the only other person in the world with a 'nite' watch. 😁

Fortunately she is a bit of a collector herself.

One of the most underrated Sinn's. Love mine.

·

Awesome collection! But my eyes always turn to the classic Tag Formula 1 😍

·

Me thinks someone has a particular style they like.🤔😂

But really, you have an awesome collection. I love it.

That's what I love about this. We all like what we like. There is no wrong way. We travel this path together but separately.  Here, you can see a guy with 5,6,7 Rolexs, then, another with Casios, and another a little of both and everything in-between. And we are not afraid to compliment each other.

Lovely, what's the strap on here at the moment?

Just a cheap Barton rubber quick release (grey / black) 👍

Well it looks good 👍

I love this collection!  Just for funsies, how would you rank your top 3? This would be my order:

  1. Sinn 857 
  2. Oris
  3. timex expedition - this guy is an absolute strap monster and can be dressed up and down and really reflects the makers new sound commitment to making some bad arse pieces.
