How long was it in Biel?  They like to take their time.  I've had watches out almost 6 months with them.  Great watch!

It was there for 8 months.  It was originally due to be back to me in September (11 months) so it was a nice surprise!

I have a thing for Arab numeral dials. This is a Hoffman Racing 40 with a Khajar dial in green. One of only 50 made for and sold by Perpetuel in the UAE...Accompanied by an also gorgeous RA Private Stock 230

I recently purchased a late 90's Tudor 75190 with box & papers as I continue searching for a tropical dial Submariner. I'm quite pleased with the 36mm diameter.

I've been looking for that one in every swatch retailer I visit... haven't seen them online for a reasonable price either....

I have no idea of the history of this watch/release?

Samsung Galaxy Watch Pro 5 LTE

I've been pretty happy with the Mobvoi Ticwatch 5 Pro but there's no LTE version, so got this one.

Edit: this one has sapphire crystal

Edit: Liking the number of configurable complications

Got the Apple watch ultra. It's a nice watch. From a look and feel perspective my best smartwatch. Also double the battery life of a regular Apple watch, so you can do sleep tracking and generally depend on it to last more than a single waking day.

On the other hand functionally, the wear os/Android watches are ahead.

Treated myself to a new Hamilton

A second automatic. Definitely a step up from the Seiko 5.

I just got this Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph with Titanium band.
My daughter made me the friendship bracelet that I am wearing. 
i also got the grey and orange rubber strap with titanium clasp if I want to wear the watch that way too  

[Nevrknow]

Thumbs up for the daughter bracelet. Worth a lot more than that watch. 👍

Never seen that one before!  Very cool.  We'll have to read up on those.  I've seen the Speedmaster Swatch's; is the newer or older than that release?

Here is some info on it.

I found some on Chrono24 of differing colors.  Does it feel super light on the wrist?  How's the bezel?  Does it feel like a quality one?  Been looking for an active watch.

It feels very light on the wrist but definitely not as light as moon swatch. it feels quality on the bezel and gives a pleasing feedback on the rotation. To be honest it feels better than one may expect for a non metallic watch/movement. It is definitely a better quality product all-round then the moon versions. I can give a further update on it in a few weeks after more time on the wrist. They had the green option available at the time when i picked up this orange artic version yesterday. But decided the beige orange combo paired better with more of my wardrobe

Congrats on the orange one, but oh no, not peppermint green!!

[Seacliff]

I have a thing for German watches and have a few made by Sinn.  My latest attached and has Abalone mother of pearl as the moon phase.  As a big Ab diver over the years, I couldn't resist "Just One More Watch"

Fifty Fathoms is on my bucket list.  Love the color
