@Kryton
Most of my G-Shocks only come out for the odd occassion now and this (the complete antithesis to this thread 😉 ) adorns my wrist 95% of the time
The background is a nice army green, but the camera won't pick it up

@TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsSTR - you do know that you now have to post photos of your G-Shock collection?

Bin dun 😉
@Scapegoat Excellent choice! Happy new watch day and welcome to the SMP club 🙂 Love the colour.
There's some lycanthrope-esque wrists on this thread!
'scuse my ignorance but what is an SMP?
I've just sold my Timex Marlin sub-dial auto' on eBollocks.
The acrylic "glass" and the pointless 24 hr sub-dial were getting right on my tits.
To be replaced by this new offering from Baltany Watches:
SMP = Sea Master Professional
@derek_starship that Baltany looks good. Khaki Field vibe with a luvverly blue dial!
Nice one @scapegoat, looks lovely I hope you are enjoying yours!
<p style="text-align: left;">Yay for you Scapey! Good to see so many stwers with good taste! I like the blue too, although it's clearly not as good as the white and black colourway.</p>
I feel we need a StwSmp meet up!
It seems rolex bought Bucherer yesterday. Intriguing move.
that Baltany looks good. Khaki Field vibe
I'd go a little bit further than vibe... it looks to be a direct copy.
@ElShalimo here they are anyway, just the 6 G's (and a Victorinox)
2 smart watches and that's my lot. Albeit I do want a Garmin Epix
And someday I'll get a Tudor

👍
Finally got my hands on my anniversary present CW Trident 😀It seems rolex bought Bucherer yesterday. Intriguing move.
next stop Swatches of Switzerland?
Very nice @bullet. It seems to be a homage of a certain other watch, which I for one hadn’t appreciated the first time you posted it…
And happy anniversary, is it today 25th? Coincidentally the same as mine!
Cheers Kryton - 38 years would you believe! 24th so clise. Congrats to you too (anniversary and the Omega purchase 😀 )
"It seems to be a homage of a certain other watch"
Time for another pet-hate...
Not only is that not a homage, it's a much better executed watch than the one you're thinking of!
I genuinely think the vast majority of people would prefer the CW in a "logos removed blind tasting".

Erm, what watch is the CW trident a or not a homage to ?
It’s a lovely looking watch btw
I needed (wanted!) a white faced watch to go with my others and initially got all excited by a Steinhart chrono that had a Rolex Daytona look to it. Then realised it was silver and not white.
The CW wasn't on my mind initially but got to look more closely and went from there. Guess there are a lot of similar looking watches about but I'm not in the market for a big spend now. More than happy withe Trident and think it will look great on the Amalfi coast next week 😀
Some good watches on the last page or so.
I’m not normally a fan of CW but I actually really like the one with the white face.
Don’t recognise the watch wait4me has, but that is really nice.
and think it will look great on the Amalfi coast next week
Please post some pics, I’d love to see that Trident in the sun.
Hypothetically (as I don't have £2.8k used/£3.7k new just at the moment)
I prefer the brown
But prefer the idea of developing my own patina on the bronze
Out of pure interest wwstd?
@TheArtistFormerly... have you tried on the BB bronze? That looks like the 43mm case to me. She's a big girl!

No, I haven't, but I'd be sure to before I dumped that amount of cash.
Yeah the Bronze is 43mm, but I like larger watches
Yeah I'm not seeing the cw homage. It's the same colourway as several recently posted smp, it's a dive watch. It's far less smp like than other cw watches from their catalog.
Artist, I like both and think maybe the slate but really do like the brown too. You could get a brown, remove the patina and start your own, it's simple to do with vinegar.
Got a macro lens for insects, but pointed it at my watch while trying to figure out how to use it
I think that looks quite neat!
It seems wos shares were down 30% yesterday! Hit by the rolex bucherer news.
I really like the BB bronze, it’s likely the only Tudor I’d buy after I tried on a BB and it didn’t feel “special” enough for the money to me. But that is a personal opinion.
Loving the macro shots! It really highlights the expertise applied to really small parts. I watched a few YouTube vids re the Bucherer news yesterday, with the general consensus that Bucherer will become a predominant Rolex / Tudor booth and the possibility Rolex will withdraw from WoS. Interesting times, and an interesting move from Rolex to create and even more controlled sales path to their supply.
Not sure if this is against protocol, but if anyone has an SKX007 /009 I am looking to buy!
The postie has just delivered this, a Bulova Surfboard chronograph reissue.

Have any of you got one of the Farer watches? If so thoughts please.
They are popular on Pistonheads and the owners are very positive about them. I like them, but nothing has really grabbed me and some of the colours are a bit wacky for my taste
Had a quick look through that GQ link a few posts back, and I really like the https://mrjoneswatches.com/collections/all-watches Mr Jones watches.
Don't actually want to buy one, but I love the messing with the conventions that clocks/watches normally follow, while still packing it into the same form factor 🙂
I tend to think of Mr Jones watches as the horological equivalent of a "you don't have to be crazy to work here..." type mug or whatever.
