It is always a pleasure to be able to have the opportunity to take part in the raffles. You put a great deal of work into them and for that we're all incredibly grateful!

Happy November to all

This just arrived and decided to throw it on

Love that Longines Gran. A beautifully elegant timepiece

Anyone recognise this Porsche? My personal favourite of all time

Looks like the automotive fore bearer to all modern super cars. The car that should've been reviled in history rather than the F40.

It's the gorgeously stunning 959.

I love Porsches, they're the ultimate Autobahn mile-muncher and incredibly well made.

Though I feel I need to back-up the good ol' British brands. None more so than the quintessentially British Aston Martin (I'm sure AJ will back me up here )

One of the most beautiful modern GT cars. Muscular with classic flowing lines;

I think it's the way the light is reflecting (or not reflecting as is the case here) off the Omega symbol. The angle in the second picture is meaning the reflected light from the omega symbol is not reaching the camera.

At least that would be my guess. Often a small change in angle can fairly drastically alter the look of some dials.

I love my G-Sar.. Its also the most expensive watch I own...

Love the GSAR. I think the Daynight is almost a duplicate of the Marathon, but slightly larger at 45mm. It's almost a cheaper version of the CSAR.

What a monster! Great looking piece Ben! Wear it in good health

Thanks mate, I'm really loving it. The watch is super comfortable on the wrist and that bracelet is one of the best I've ever had the pleasure to wear. For comfort it's on par with the gen Sinn U1 bracelet.

Ben, so did this so I too have changed my 'outfit' ! AR is incredible and this feels/looks FAB, very pleased.

Wow! Looks like the Sophia Loren of watches! 

That look great Ben, what was the damage?

Regards

AJ

Thanks AJ, it was $599 plus $50 for postage.

It's a cracking watch, well made and a decent size at 45mm.

Guess what arrived this morning?

This just arrived so I decided to change to it

Gorgeous, truly gorgeous. I especially love that fact that the panda dial has the date of the Apollo 11 landing

Great looking watches here! I'm still awaiting the arrival of the two divers that I ordered. The only watch I used to have that could even remotely be called a micro branded diver would be the Marathon JSAR. I know it's not really a micro brand however it'll do for now

Despite the fact that the majority of my watches have a black dial I feel the SOSF looks best in the white/creme dial as others have said.

Lol thats my next pick up Ben   Great choice mate, ps dont listen to Mike and Devil they will cost you money every time 

Thanks Sgt! You're right, they keep recommending such tempting watches and weak old me just keeps falling for them hook-line-and-sinker!

Pics!!

As soon as it arrives I will do

I just paid the $279 there via PayPal. Definitely a bargain!

NIce one ben! You wont regret it mate!

Thanks mate! Any idea how long does the delivery takes to good ol' blighty?

Use the other half get the new Orbis Morgan and still couple hundred left to take the wife out on the town to smooth things over !

 

PS this is how you stay married over 25 years and have plenty of watches.

Mike thanks to you and Devilseam I just bought the Obris Morgan Explorer with blue dial and brushed finish 

It is a great looking watch but being a Norwegian there is no way I can wear a watch that say "VIKING" on it...unless if you're from Stavanger that is..or part of the old NASA Mars crew

You are a genuine Viking then sir, and you could pretend to have been part of the old Nasa Viking programme!

Now if I can get the dome crystal on the stainless....................................

You know, I was thinking the same thing....and the worst of it is, that I just bought a Deep Blue DayNight 65 yesterday and now I'm ogling this.....

Looks quite thick....but i get the idea....what movement?

I believe it has a Miyota 9015 movement which I've heard is a good solid workhorse with a 42 hour power reserve and beats at 28,800bph.

Thanks Ben!   Now I want one.......................... Nice.

Me too Mike, me too

Love it, have looked in to these. They look really well built, like most of the the micro brands around. They look like a big chunk of metal for your money!

Yeah, it looks kinda like a Ball watch with almost the same build quality but at a fraction of the price!

Very cool watch, I really like the design! Especially from the side on the 4th picture

Love that side profile, I haven't seen another watch with the same machining on the lugs.
