Gotta wait until August, but able to secure a Super Early Bird slot for the Mandala.
Still have time to pick the color, but this is the one I'm leaning towards.

A cheapo, Russian, beat-to-hell, hand winder for $10? Sure why not.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
And it appears I have an incoming of my own! Seller accepted a reasonable offer on this Ball Railway Standard from the early 1960's. It's a bit of a risky buy with only one picture, but the seller has perfect feedback and reaffirmed their store policy that if it doesn't check out a return will be free and quick.
I love the "Railroad approved" dial with the white background and stark black lettering, and I've kicked myself for a while for passing up on one of these a couple years ago. We'll see how it works out!

There should be a very decent ETA with multiple adjustments in there. I've been looking to get one of those myself. If you don't mind sharing what the accepted offer was, PM me here or on Discord.cortman wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 8:47 am And it appears I have an incoming of my own!

hell yeah:
Wouldn't run at first but after it warmed up a bit, it's ticking away perfectly.

Found the one I wanted at a reasonable price. It will be my first experience with Doxa, arriving tomorrow. Super interested to see how this wears on my wrist...

Hello Wrist Twin, I tried on a 300T a wee bit ago and it fit me well so I am hoping it'd fit you well, too! It did not look small on my wrist of course, but it's a diver and it's meant to be a bit loud so I thought it was fine.

I was finally able to get a Zelos release that I wanted and in a way I'm glad I missed the other one's. Time to find out about Zelos. Hope this 43 mm meets my 3B's. Big, Blue, Beautiful dial!

Re: Incoming! What have you got in the mail?
Good to know! I’ve heard the bracelets drape a little nicer on the 300 vs the 300T because of the end link design. So good to know you thought the T wore well!pdsf wrote:Hello Wrist Twin, I tried on a 300T a wee bit ago and it fit me well so I am hoping it'd fit you well, too!

Speaking of loud, I was also looking at the orange version, but since this one is the 50th anniversary edition those tend to go for much more. I like the idea of an orange one though.

Orange can be fun but yours is more versatile! Maybe I am just a dull person but I often prefer versatility. Can't wait for the wrist shots woohoo!recapt wrote: ↑Tue Mar 23, 2021 6:03 pmGood to know!
