Re: Montybaber April 2016
I should think the GS would stand out for anyone. Good group.

Have to agree the grand is the standout within the group but the sarb 035 is a favourite of mine. Nice collection, thanks for sharing

Nice set of watches there. For the pick of them is the Smiths, then the Precista. I'd buy the Smiths from you anytime...

Re: Montybaber April 2016
Again thankyou for the very nice comments, I have owned lots of very nice watches, nothing very expensive but after some time I now know what I like, there are many watches I would love to own (most I have at some point) but my wrist/brain does not agree, various watches I love that are just too big/heavy the dreadnought voyager is one of the best watches I have owned but I couldnt live with its size/bulk, I also know my watches have to be pristine and any DLC coating, beadblasted finish had to be sold as the worry if a scratch was too great! (I have problems)
The Sarb/GS are so similar on the wrist (although close up are very different) I assumed I would move on the Sarb when I got the GS but their value is much too low in my opinion for what they are and it means I can wear it on occassions I would worry about the GS (occassional days at work/pub etc)
I love dive watches but I have purposely left a space for a dressier sub type watch, I am hoping my saving will go well enough to have a 116610lv on my wrist by my 40th birthday, the other divers are more 'everyday' starting with the SKX for work/beater, the 82 for slightly less harsh wear and the Smiths...well I love it so I doubt it will get abused
Finally the eco drive was a present years ago and is going nowhere although never worn
