Not one usually for forced patina but can't stop looking at 007's new piece.
the broadarrow is a nice touch and its no date! Will buy, wait $8100 msrp - will buy used!

Craig is a huge watch collector and had a lot of input in the piece. Based on forum commentary it was a challenge to get a non wave dial on a SMP but he said it was a must for him. There’s a lot of SMP300 nods going on. |

On a different level than the Bond piece, I have a Seiko 5 Compressor coming this week. Looking forward to it as a knockaround, daily driver.

Usually coincides with traditional tool watches not having a date. While common they are also less common if that makes sense. |

Owning a couple vintage day/date automatic watches without any quick set date function will make you look real hard for a no-date if you are like me and wear a different watch everyday. I just want to pick it up, wind it a little, set the time and go. Having an incorrect day or date will bother me too much to even look at the watch. Also, the dials just look so much better without them. I have been wearing a day date with the full day up top....... I do enjoy that.

I just signed on to a special order, group buy for one of these. Some of our guys that did a squadron order deal with Bremont in the past set it up. I'm not really a chronometer kind of guy, and I kinda wish it didn't have our company logo on it, but I've wanted a Bremont for a long time. And the price was very, very good for this watch.
 This is the Bremont I really want..One of these days when I can get enough OT.

I just wish they had used our old company logo, or just left it off, and just gone with the new dial. I would have liked the option to have our pilot wings engraved on the back, but the crystal back prevents that (and I'm not a fan of "display" backs) I won't wear it at work, but I'm excited about the watch. Still having some sticker shock, but I'll get over it. https://i.imgur.com/uyQ49Lh.png |

Gotta bump this before it archives...
Back in April'19 I sold the watch I said I'd never sell. It's been bugging me more and more so I started looking for a replacement. Since they've been discontinued for 4-5 years now I was having a hard time finding a decent specimen, then it dawned on me to see if I could just buy my watch back. Pinged the guy and he said he hasn't been wearing it, so BOOOM! Baby's coming back home! Citizen Promaster BN0000-04H. Monocoque case, Eco-Drive, 300m. This was a 2014 watch that I got NOS and had a sapphire installed. (One guy loved these watches so much he had 100 crystals custom cut to match OEM dimensions). I've never been a fan of the dial and handset, but the entire presentation of this watch is one that is organic. It just disappears on the wrist, but it's still built like a tank. UK MOD issued them for a while to their RN Divers, and they were assigned NSN 0883-99-852-5953. They've since been replaced by the BN0150 and BN0190. She should be home by next week. 
 Oh, and since I spent all that time looking for a new one I did find an ultra-rare UK version of the watch in Pepsi flavor. It should be here from across the pond in a couple weeks.

Been thinking about buying a single really nice watch and being done with buying/selling/trading and having multiple watches. Just one watch for the rest of my life.
Not a Rolex fan. Do not want something normally recognizable. Thinking: - Speedy Pro - Navitimer - Either an original 809, 809 Cosmonaut, or the new 809 re-issue - Black Bay 58 Probably wear mostly on a nato, leather nato, or leather band. Not really a bracelet guy. |
