Not sure if that was a dig, or not.....:huh:

Either way, I agree. That shitty DHGate Panerai and this one are very similar, but they seem to suit me for some reason. That and my Daytonas :D

It was about the big Parnis (Penis) you got there, @Tits McGee would have picked it straight away :p 

This one is certainly better than the DHGate one ! And it does really suits you well beside the joke, you should try more black case pretty sure it's that !

I love black, but I was never big on black watches. The Bulgari is black, and the Monaco is black. Both "Panerai" cases are black. Might be starting a thing here.

And one other recent addition. The famous DHGate quartz Omega Speedmaster. 

 

Sorry about the shitty pics, light not great in my office at night.  

I really like this watch.  It's going to become a daily wearer I think. The lume is shit. @NCRichhas already stated that he wants to play with it, so I'm gonna ship it to him if he doesn't die, and if he really wants to mess with it.  The bracelet is hilarious. It's the same one as my Seamaster 300M, diver extension and all. I have another Speedy bracelet but the end links are a little too small I think the bracelet will work, however.

Had to quote that, sorry... :lol: 

With that new Omega you have a little feeling of the old one that you busted on the ground

Wow. I feel like I have a target on my back tonight.....

@NCRichfixed that one for me. Chrono is still toast, but it tells time perfectly. Of course the bezel fell off a short time later and I've been waiting for a shipment of GS Hypo to fix that for like 8 weeks now. Havent worn it since.

I recall reading that in the SB ! 
That's a great gesture from Rich !

As for the target, don't worry, it's just banter, wait till the ginger come ....

Well, here's the latest. No real info to offer here for anyone. It's quartz. It was originally from a TD. I REALLY like it.  I now have 5 Daytonas. 

I only have one more incoming, and that's @BADAPPLE's PAM 524 Flyback. Probably be here early next week.

8 weeks?  You have been busy.  Really cool set.  Particularly like the moonwatch, looks brilliant.  What negatives have you found with it? I have ordered 1st piece from Mary with the view to gain confidence for further flutters.

At the time you read this, the collection was actually started around January first. So 10 months since when you read it. 

 

The only negative I have with the moonwatch is that I broke the fucker.

Well, since my Coke bezel GMT Master II seems to be the ONE watch that continually pisses me off with the SELs (as in, no matter what I do the fucker will NOT go back on properly)  I've decided to fix the little bastard another way. 

Meet the Coke bezel GMT Master II on it's new red and black NATO from the Cincy Strap Company!

Wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it, but I wanted to try something different and step outside my comfort zone. I only have one other watch on a NATO that I rarely wear. 

I really like this, both the look and the feel. I think I'll keep it this way.

Looks like it's been awhile since I've updated what's in my collection.  Guess I'll have to tackle that now.

Let's start with the Regmariner. I replaced my DHGate Submariner with something a little nicer. Got this from @narikaa a few months back. I find myself wearing this one A LOT.  Winds very smoothly, and keeps excellent time.  The lume is absolutely outstanding, best lume on any watch I own. Bright as a torch for about an hour, then fades but is completely readable in the dark 8 or 9 hours later.  Very impressed with this watch.
