Re: Been shopping!
Well, they all look rather spiffing, Guy. I particularly like the Dodane.

Wonderful little haul! Bravo sir!
The Laco is bloody lovely, the MAT is a perfect sports watch and the Dodane is rather unique!

Re: Been shopping!
Thanks for posting these other photos Guy.
Both very striking watches, not forgetting that lovely Bronze too !
I'm glad Patrick pointed out the C11 Elite similarity as I saw that straight away too.
All memorable watches for you, one in particular even more so

Re: Been shopping!
I'm afraid I just don't get bronze watches but the Dodane and MAT look great....each to their own I suppose....

Re: Been shopping!
Three individual looking watches, a very productive outing. I rather like the MAT, not a brand I'm familiar so will need to get googling.
Enjoy

Wow Guy ... you proper went for it
Like the colours of the Dodane, but why is the 12-hr bezel reversed?

Bezel is 'countdown' configuration, as opposed to a 'timer'.StrappedUp wrote:Wow Guy ... you proper went for it

The C11 Makaira Elite has the same.

Re: Been shopping!
wait...are they vacuum-packing watches as if they are hunks of meat to be stored in the freezer?

Agreed Nigel; moratorium is blown away totally.nigelb001 wrote:Guy, your brief moratorium from a few months back is long dead and buried and pushing up daisies A lovely trio of watches - congrats
It was necessary at the time but I'm now doing a bit of catching up.
Think I might need to buy another watch box to fit all my recent purchases in.

Re: Been shopping!
Well; I'd intended to get my Laco Westerland unwrapped today fro #FliegerFriday but didn't make it.
In a way I've got two options;-
1. Unwrap it later tomorrow morning, take photos in good light and start a record of how the patina develops on the bronze, taking care when I wear it or
2. Unwrap it tonight and wear it first thing in the morning, treating it as a watch to be worn; with any consequential dings.
Decisions, decisions.
