Missed a trick not having the model wearing a matching NATO watch strap 😄

Found out about the 1957 Omega reissue collection recently, and the Railmaster is really gorgeous IMO. It's 38mm, so 2mm smaller than the standard Railmaster, which for me is a good thing. The only problem is it's very expensive! If they did a 38mm or smaller version of the standard Railmaster I'd be seriously interested.

The Railmaster is a nice looking watch, but I really don't like the new Omega straps/bracelets.

I've tried a few now and they're really not very nice to look at and more importantly to wear/feel.

I think they'll date quickly too...

Also, those lugs - just look way too big/out of proportion (to my eyes)

That’s a nice watch Rev.

I recently tried on a Tag Heuer Monaco and really didn’t want to take it off. Very tempted by that I must say.

I now have this (Speedmaster tribute), a Tissot Quadrato (Monaco tribute), now I just need to find a Daytona tribute and my collection of sub-£200 watches will be complete :lol:

It's been a good year for me:

Pictures don't do either of these watches justice.

Revs is nice too.

I'm not a flashy watch person, I think that's the only one in this thread that's made me think "ooh, that's nice"

The one on the left was a wedding gift from the wife back in September. Only available in Japan, 2020 Olympics LE, luckily she had friend who lived in Tokyo to get it. Very special watch to me. The one on the right I got last week, one of the 50th Anniversary limited editions.

I know it divides opinion but I'm getting a yearning for a Sinn U1. I'd like to try one for size first but dealers are few and far between.

I quite like Tudor watches too and this seems a bit of a bargain at £1792 in the sales.

The same shop has the Black Bay Bronze for £2100 which is £1000 off the asking, does any Tudor expert know if these are old models?

I had to look that up as I’ve never heard of it before, thought it would be a £150 watch :lol:

You could say that about quite a few watches!

How about this version

Probably loose it if you put it down in the garden though :)

Sinn do some lovely watches. Usually sported by Walter Rohl too. I had a similar issue when wanting one as I couldn't find anyone who stocked either of the ones I wanted to see. I didn't want to spend £4k on ordering them to see if I liked them.
