27 pointsWell lets start by famously miss quoting a sage on here " when it comes to Rolex Gs haters will always be haters no matter how good they actually are " so my purchase story is, with the lack of affordable watches to purchase of a well known brand , their ever rising price and their other actions means the likes of scruffy urchins like me are being priced & cut out of their market share , which I do believe that's what they want!( in order to move their watches up market) , however its not like i don't have any Swiss watches in the collection, so time for a watch anyone can buy no waiting lists and with equal quality! IMO. I did have a Gs quartz which was beautiful, but on my wrists always looked too small @ 37mm ( for me size is a personal perception )but to me it was too small so sold it on (at a loss as usual ), and I promised myself I would get another but a 40 +mm its amazing what 3 mm makes! ,and here it is all the way from the land of the rising sun.( been tracking it all bank holiday with a twitchy bum!!) its not a snow flake , but is JDM & I do like the weight of steel( besides could not afford a new snowflake ), i was going to buy a pre owned one , but it did not come with box and papers and turned out to be 4 years old !and I had concerns re how close to a service it was & added costs , so I have bought new ( I am not a serial flipper, so no immediate hit to be taken plus it was not much more than the pre owned one!)and I get full box papers etc,it also it comes with the new branding now I know from a recent thread not everybody likes Gs and this new image/ branding , but I do and its my watch , all steel ,40.5 mm, dial- white / silvery shimmer in some lights, quartz / spring drive- 9R65, Dual curve sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating, all brushed bracelet with case polishing , but also one of the few Gs with lumen which is another thing that drew me in. the internet pictures and my crappy phone ( which did have me concerned with some drawings) don't do it justice . its every bit as good as my DJ when its next to it, it is beautiful!. very happy bunny ( again no more spend for a few months now though again ! ) deano

24 pointsA little something I picked up yesterday circa 1961 VC with the thin K1001 calibre (not the ultrathin 1003 - that didn't have a seconds hand and was only 1.64mm thick. It was the thinnest mechanical movement for 60 years!)

21 pointsIt's raining here today - all day so far (13.00 here) - the first rain in about 2 months!! Great, my garden lawn needs it desperately. So Seiko for me as well again, as it's been on the wrist for a few days now.

21 pointsSeeing as it's a blue moon today (the second this year, the first was on Jan 31st, and the last until 2020), I shall wear the Omega 2231.80 with blue dial. A 'blue' moon occurs when there are two full moons in a single calendar month.

20 pointsThis resulted from curiosity of a "brand" Nautec No Limit I had no experience of and was on a super special offer on Amazon France at 20€ plus 3€ delivery. Very solid and heavy but sits well on the wrist due to a thick leather strap. Screw in crown and 6 screws holding the back on mirrored on the front. Delivery issues delayed its arrival but it is here now and I love it.
