Re: San Martin

Thanks all, useful comments. For context the C60 is a red herring here. I keep my collection to a limit of 4, that way I make sure I enjoy each watch in the box. I haven’t found myself wearing it for many months so it will likely be sold come what may. I said homages, and I can also see that it’s ne...

Re: Non CW of the Day

What is this? I just posted about a San Martin Pelagos homage and this looks just the same

Re: San Martin

The customs is a concern for me, the above is c. £200 excluding them. I guess the logical answer for me might be to go and view the Tudor and then make a call.

San Martin

There’s been a lot of chat recently across various watch forums/groups about San Martin. Nothing really interested me in their line up until I saw the SN0121 which is a Tudor Pelagos homage. Has anyone experience of San Martin? Or even better this specific model? If you have, what do you think of th...

Re: SOTC Illiera

That’s a great collection. It’s really pleasing on the eye and pleases my watchie sentiments too. Great job :thumbup: Thank you! The job now is to work out what replaced the C60 when I hit the big 4-0 in a few years time. With vintage, military, dress, and diver all ticked off I might need to find ...

Re: SOTC Illiera

I do like a small collection of carefully curated watches. The box itself looks interesting as well, did it have a former life as something other than a watch box? It’s also an interesting bezel on the Serica with both hours and minutes, I’m not sure I’ve seen one like that before. I bought the box...

Re: SOTC Illiera

Great looking collection! Nice you have a bit of everything, GMT, dress, dive, aviation, a real benefit from the four slot collection. The C9 SPC is a very very special watch IMHO! Absolutely, it’s one I can’t see myself ever parting with. The next switch will be the GMT, but I’ve set myself on buy...

Re: SOTC Illiera

Nice tight collection there :thumbup: I tried on a friends Serica several months ago at a meetup. Great watches! Thank you. I deliberately keep my watch box to four slots so that I am restricted, the hobby has a habit of getting away from me otherwise. I love how the Serica looks. The movement is v...

Haven’t posted for a while, lots of chopping and changing recently but quite a few CWs have left the collection (C9 AM GT, C65 Dartmouth, C4 Peregrine) and a Serica 5303-3 and Smiths W10 took their place.

New C63 Celeste just dropped, takes the aventurine dial from the Moonphase into a Sealander.
