New one today... 007

Always wore on the left until about 2 months ago, when I decided to wear on the right because I wanted to be able to admire my watches while driving

I was actually looking at the C9 Big Day Date before Christmas so that is. Dry tempting, extremely rare that I wear a dress watch though. I'd have jumped st the chance of a half price Trident if the 43s weren't out of stock

Slightly over budget but completely agree with Steinhart. Beautiful, well made watches. Mine was £347 I believe. There's a lot of very good Seiko watches in that price bracket too, like the Monster or the SKX007/009

Ordered one, thanks Debenhams charge £2 for c&c though. Disgusting, really.

I second (third, fourth?) the Steinhart suggestion. Had my Ocean One Vintage for 2 weeks and I love it . Another watch I really like is the Seiko Sea Urchin which is insanely cheap.

I like it. What's wrong with Parnis?

Not normally a fan of Chronos but I really like that Longines

Haha I love my Monster it all ended well in the end anyway I managed to bodge the pins in by bending them slightly . Not ideal but the bracelet is functional again at least!

Steiny

That is beautiful! This has just inspired me to purchase a perlon strap. What is the watch?

Trying the Monster out on rubber today. It's going back on the bracelet shortly

Yep, I would never part with this. I do actually really like it and it was my go-to for years, not something I'd wear often now but it will always hold a special place in my collection
