I believe it was finished to whatever the customers' request going by some of the comments/feedback. The restorer maybe needs to use the odd caption on screen explaining stuff though. Thank You. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Manhattan Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) Speaking of divers, two new microbrand additions dropped through the letterbox simultaneously this week. Meet the Phoibos Eagle Ray, a compression-style diver from Hong Kong, and US company Aquacy’s bronze diver with its malachite dial. That’s my display case full now, pushing me into theoretical “one in, one out” territory. (Or, I just buy another case ) The Aquacy is the first bronze watch I’ve owned, procured as a trial run before I start dropping some not-so-subtle hints about how the recently released Christopher Ward C60 Pro 300 bronze diver with the brown ombré face would make a lovely Xmas present. ETA: @Bigmouth Strikes Again, Aquacy is a sister company/brand of Oceaneva. Edited May 26 by Doctor Manhattan 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great couple of pieces, bronze is a stunner, would take it off the leather strap though (rubber, bracelet, or nato for a diver) Just my opinion though. Cheers.

On which note, did you put the blue strap on your Oceaneva yet? I'd very much like to see that. This is my collection as it currently stands, a bunch of mostly cheaper/older pieces padding out the Tudor and the Rolex I got for my 50th some (many) years ago. I'm not planning any more additions before Xmas, but hell, I've said that before! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paxo Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Just took delivery of this wee cracker. It came with the original Omega beads of rice bracelet which is nice, but unfortunately far too small. Not sure how easy it'll be to source a couple of genuine links for a watch made in 1961. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new buckle might just be the biggest I've ever seen, but it looks really good on the wrist. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been tempted, but staying on the jubilee, even though one of the screws 'popped out' of the link. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
