Two recent additons for me, replacing two of my least favourite G Shocks.

1980 Seiko Auto

....can't really tell from the photo but it's got an amazing face with 4 angled sections which catch the light and look really unusual.

Luch one handed watch from Belarus

Both under £50 and both a great addition to the collection IMHO 8)
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.

....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

Do like the one-handed one :thumbsup

I've been contemplating chopping in all my watches and buying a Sub to wear daily - But can't help thinking this is a bit of a predictable option, and it's better to stick with a larger collection of more oddball choices (60's Heuer / 80's Golden Tuna etc).

Hmmm....

I've got 12 watches now, each is very different, some are very oddball but i really enjoy choosing which one to wear each day.

I think having one nice, even one as nice as a sub would lead to you forgetting it was special......i know i did when i wore my seamaster every day.

Anyone recommend a good supplier of a nice leather strap for my Navitimer 01?

I have a Montbrilliant bracelet and a black leather Breitling strap but fancy a different colour, and got a shock at the pukka prices!

I bought Phil a Hirsch strap for his Navitimer for christmas; side by side with the genuine strap and there wasn't much in terms of quality difference. Could also switch over the buckle if it bothered you enough. I decided it was a good option after seeing http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.php?2 ... -Breitling

I got his from http://www.watchesbytimepiece.com/hirsc ... s-111.html - great service
