WTF?!? I step away from viewing this thread for a week and we have a BB, a Graham and a GS?!? What a week! Congrats to all. My multiquote failed me so I am going off memory.

That Hamilton looks sweet. Love the black date wheel on the white dial, a rare combo.

The grandrally looks amazing on the elastic strap. The red stripe really draws the red on the dial and seconds hand out. Looks spectacular.

The BB is for sure a future classic, and it's even more awesome you found a deal on one. Nicely done!

The strap on that Graham is by far the best tire tread strap I have seen, so cool!

And the GS spring drive. You know my weaknesses lie in Seikos hands, and that is no exception. I will advise you not to wear it while driving. Fsr more distracting than a cell phone.

And That Marnaut looks great, I am a sucker for a 2 crown diver, and that one isn't an exception.

My eBay bargain arrived- beautiful watch; the Burano limited edition, named after a Venetian ‘painted village’ !
They made between 80 and 100 of these depending on the website I read and this one does not look worn!!

Thank you! Same here hahaha! It all happened rather quickly. One thing that struck me when I first saw it in real life was that it looked much less bling than I thought it was going to be. Not a bad thing at all. It has been to the pool with me. Legibility is very good - I could tell the time while swimming and during turns. Another thing that surprised me was it felt bigger than a 39mm watch. The lugs are not as aggressive as the sub's, but I certainly would not say it wears smaller than a 39mm. The L2L is on the longer side, almost 48mm, which give it some presence. The movement felt solid. The bezel action is, well, fun. :)

Have always fancied a regulator, managed to get this one from Germany; hand wound, 38mm; even the missus likes it even though she signed for the parcel and said ‘i bet that’s a new watch’

Yep, same here. Congrats [mention]WPybus[/mention] ! A great size for a regulator as well...they usually are kinda big, aren't they?
