Tension pin bracelets should be banned....period

Congrats! The yellow looks awesome! I’m not usually a fan of the pencil hands (different width between the min and hot hands) but yours look more balanced here than for the other dial colours (I have the small abalone 44mm)CVP33 wrote:Deep Blue 1000M NH35 Automatic matte yellow dial arrived!

I’m really intrigued by the bracelet. How does it wear?
Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
Wears great. No sharp edges, no grabbing and the beads of rice along with the brushed finish give it an upscale look/feel. Honestly didn't expect to like this one as much as I do. Debating on whether or not to go buy the light blue dial as well.quincas wrote: ↑Fri Dec 27, 2019 9:38 amCongrats! The yellow looks awesome!

I just received a Parnis 43mm Power Reserve but I will regulate it and resell it, just to big but for $65 great watch.

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
Just received an email from L&T cancelling the order...with no explanation. That is a disappointment. My guess is they oversold.watchpalooza wrote: ↑Thu Dec 26, 2019 1:02 pm Got the last one of these thanks to HUISABH:

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
I was close to pulling the trigger last night but slept on it. An informative post by [mention]yinzburgher[/mention] sort of put me over the hump and I have a Glycine Airman No 1 36mm GMT inbound. I have been thinking about a mechanical GMT that doesn't look like a Rolex homage. The "classic" size of this appeals to me...I think. We will see in a couple of days!

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
They're pretty cool watches. I couldn't justify it at MSRP so I sold mine and surprisingly made an $80 profit. But I think these are worth it at this priceyinzburgher wrote:I could never quite justify adding the Timex Q Reissue to my collection......until today's steep discount.......lowest I've ever seen it.

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
Since the Bulova didn’t work out and Yinz beat me to the last Q, I made a low-ball offer on a Blue-dialed whitelabel Laco (and had it accepted). Its a small microbrand in NL who appears to be dumping inventory EOY. These are Augsburg 39’s produced under a collaboration by Laco in Germany using the Aramar dial. A few are still being offered on the bay if anyone is interested. Sold as new, full kit with 2-year warranty.
Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
Haha, you're welcome! I only put the watch in my cart to show the discount for folks. I didn't get it myself (now I am thinking perhaps I should have ). I look forward to seeing pics.yinzburgher wrote: ↑Sun Dec 29, 2019 7:41 pm I could never quite justify adding the Timex Q Reissue to my collection......until today's steep discount.......lowest I've ever seen it.

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
Was excited to get my new Zelos Hammerhead today. FedEx guy dropped this off on the porch and ran off before I could even get to the door.
The normal open tab is torn open. Not an accidental tear or slit. This was opened the regular way. I'm beyond words.

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
Oh wow......that really really sucks. I've not had that happen. Hope you can get it resolved easily. I don't know if that is a common problem with FedEx but I've definitely seen more complaints about them in general than with their competitors. The worst thing I've had happen with them is that they say they delivered it, it's not there so you think maybe it was stolen, and then it gets delivered the next day. Good luck with this cortman......let us know how it goes.cortman wrote: ↑Mon Dec 30, 2019 12:13 pm Was excited to get my new Zelos Hammerhead today.
