PS. I'm praying after this that it doesn't turn out looking like a saucer on my wrist.
Now that would be heartbreaking

Re: In search of number 6
Update ...
The search has been going on, albeit in the background for fear of looking like a numpty.
Some may recall I sounded dead set on the Hamilton Navy Pioneer and started shopping for a deal, BUT ... for the first purchase in a while, I sat back and gave it REAL, further consideration
It's a great looking watch and the white had my vote in the end, but there was something stopping me from going ahead and I still can't put my finger on what it was
Moving on ... I'd previously commented how I'd started being drawn to aviation/military watches (as well as the Hamilton )
I started looking at 38-40mm pilot watches and came across the 40mm Alpina Startimer Sunstar.
A little apprehensive at first as 40mm diameter and ~48mm lug-to-lug are big chunks of ticking metal in my book.
Anyway, cutting to the chase. I ordered and here it is ...

Re: In search of number 6
Congratulations. Classy. I love the red counterweight. A welcome dash of colour for that added flair and panache. Enjoy.

Great choice in the end!
Normally the last-minute change of directions work out perfectly!
Fits in nicely with its new siblings.

Re: In search of number 6
Top notch purchase.
Classic Flieger style which blends in well with the rest of your collection and size, bearing in mind a Flieger is entitled to be slightly on the big side, looks totally spot on for you.
Trust you will enjoy it.

Re: In search of number 6
Thanks gents.
Wear has been restricted because the OEM strap is a tad too long for me, so I'm going to have to search for alternatives.
I do have a few NATOs available what I could pop on for the time being
