Anticipating a #NWA
For me, the greatest excitement of buying a watch usually comes the second I hit that ‘Pay Now’ button followed by that ‘Order Confirmed’ email. There on, half the anticipation gets me scouring the www if I had made the right decision and the other half gets me telling myself that "I buy what I like'.
Like me, are you also excitedly waiting on your new Watch?
Let's share here that watch that's on the way.
I ordered the Straton Cuff Buster Sprint. Weirdly Beautiful
Also ordered that Spinnaker seconde/seconde/ 50 Phantoms (which sadly, only coming next year)
Your turn...
I’m a watch-holic, a watch-addict and recently a watch-cruncher. I'm drawn to watches that have interesting back stories, unique or unusual design language and limited in numbers.
Beautiful timepieces there! The wait is always the toughest part.
I’m impatient. I dont order watches on online anymore because 1 reason of many, once I pay for it, I want it immediately! I can’t deal with the waiting. I once preordered a watch, I lost my mind waiting months for it. Ordered in August, got it in January. Never again am I putting myself through that 😂😂😂
Looking forward to seeing these in WRUW once they arrive.
I had two watches in my Aliexpress basket, ready for the sale tomorrow. But stumbled across this on a maritime salvage site. I couldn't help myself and ordered it. The two towers are for oil lamps. 😊
Got an Omega Mariner 1 I've had mended arriving today while I'm at work - very excited to get home!
Ill post pics and stuff tomorrow or Sunday.

Yeah, I know what you mean. 5 months is hell. I have a bad feeling the 50 Phantoms might take that long too. Oh Well, hopefully it’ll come before Halloween. Haha
I have the Seeker by @Beaucroft_Watches coming later this month. I also have the Zodiac Olympos coming in the next week or so. Signum Watches will be having a Black Friday sale too so that is dangerous. 😅

That thingie looks weirdly awesome. I’m still trying to figure out what it does. Oil lamps how?

Great. Looking forward to that. Cheers

Soviet era boat compass. Unsure of its age. It's about 12" high, and weighs about 30 pounds.

Nice. Now you’ll need a Soviet made boat to go with it.

Wonderful. The Beaucoift looks great but that Zodiac Olympos has always been in my eye for that longest time.
See you in that Black Friday sale. Haha

Oooo which watches are you eyeing from Signum?

Nothing in particular. Will definitely browse around. I believe some other brands are going to have a sale too so I’m gonna start ‘window’ shopping first.
Urgh.... Well, since this is a safe place I should probably confess that I have 4 watches lined up 🫣
One of @Mr.Santana's awesome WC watches...
A Munro, from the fabulous Tom at @Clemence_Watches ...
A Tuseno Shellback in white, when it gets released in December...
And a beautiful custom build that @GasWorks has kindly agreed to put together for me with the Sakura dial...
I'm glad I managed to resist the Spinnaker, because awaiting 5 would have been ridiculous!

Wow, that Sakura dial looks incredibly awesome. Looks like you’ll be spending a pretty penny here. All worth it though. Congrats!
Alongside people waiting on watches from me... 😬
There's a watch that I've refurbed for @Guvnor64 (I'll let him post on it - but I'm really happy with how it turned out)
and the watch @DeeperBlue mentions above.
There's also one winging its way across the Atlantic on its way to @Magstime too.
I am expecting delivery of a Christopher Ward 12 Ti ... tomorrow. I ordered it in May... I'm very excited

Ahh it’s only money.
Really excited about this purchase. It will be my first birth year watch!
No pressure then. 🤣
Dont really do Chrono's, and rarely wear the two analog's I have, but that cuff buster looks right up my alley.
Am awaiting a vintage Vacheron I bid on in an online auction. Am NOT liking the waiting 😂 Should arrive before the 23rd this month.
So yeah…

It’s so radical looking don’t you think

Congrats my friend. Don’t forget to show it off.

Be interested to hear your take when it gets here.
Nice one. I’m sure it will be honoured. Have had only good experiences so far. Love that watch.
As predicted! 🙄
Oh well, it was not meant to be.

Yeah sure, might just do a quick review when it’s on my wrist.

Holy sheet, how did that happen. They don’t tell you why either? So sorry man.

Thanks, it's not a big deal, I wasn't charged yet for it.
One would think that they would know their stock quantities and be able to take orders accurately against it, but it seems rather they're like airlines that oversell the plane's seats, then have to screw someone over because the plane is full. Go figure.
Oh well, I'll put the money towards Christmas or something.
Shipping December 5th.

Maybe it’s just fated and that something better will just come along. Cheer up.

Very nice. Congrats.
