It has bothered me that this has gone in answered for so long. It took me too much thinking to sort this one out. This is the Archetype One from the Silver Watch Company. https://www.silverwatchco.com/store/p3 ... Maxi_.html
Thank you pal. That was nice of you. It's a pretty thing, but with two divers arriving at some point this month I couldn't get another!Sporkboy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 9:26 amIt has bothered me that this has gone in answered for so long.

Once I had the guess of the name silver, I tried silver watch in google and you know what? There are Watch cases made of the stuff. Good job in naming the company after something that won’t put you in search results guys. Silver watch company (a good guess), got me to where I needed to go.
I had previously tried searching based on the logo, but arrows as part of the logo for watches are pretty common as well (a British military thing I think). Anyway, there you go.
Damn bro!!! What a score that was! That is an unbelievable deal on an amazing looking watch. Well done man, and at least Christmas isn't TOO far off.AndroidIsAwesome wrote:IT'S HEREEEE!!!!!
No duty or tax either. So I definitely will never find a better deal than this for $849! It even has the original box and instructions which was never listed on the product page. Turns out when I bought it this watch was on sale for $1100 from $1450, but then the seller only charged me $1000, then I get 16% Cashback from the $1100 price LOL. Sure it's got a bunch of microscratches in areas, but it looks great overall. Now I have to wait until Christmas to open this
Haha thanks. One day I will own a spring drive model though. The snowflake is one of my Grails alongside an Omega seamasterDub Rubb wrote:Damn bro!!! What a score that was!

As I mentioned in the deals thread, I have a Seiko Presage SRPD37 "mockingbird" on the way from Macy's. After seeing a very nice pic from mplsabdullah, I realized I would really enjoy this on a more casual strap than the one provided. The just the right deal came around again. His pic below.
I also scored a "refurbished" Timex Ironman Rugged T5K793 from ebay for $15. Another cheap digital to add to the rotation. I'm interested to see how I like the negative display on a Timex, which seem to be more legible than G-Shocks. Somehow I doubt it will be as legible as the pic below.
Seiko SRP313 Dracula Monster also incoming. I had always thought about buying either this of a gen 2 orange monster. Not sure it was the best decision to pay up for this one but I think I got an OK deal bc someone replaced the crystal with sapphire w/ a purple AR coating, which has a scratch. I can always replace that with different sapphire or go back to Hardlex if I want. Still, I paid twice what these things cost a number of years back.
And lastly, someone over on WUS was nice enough to give a heads up that Halios had some unclaimed bronze Seaforths. So I immediately sent an email and the owner got back to me right away. Although I think it will be about a week until this ships. I went for the fume grey dial rather than blue or green bc in addition to the great pics I've seen of the brand new ones, I think this dial variant will also look best after the case has oxidized and developed some patina. I hope so anyway.
Now to think of four that I'm willing to sell.
To be honest, I sorted out this mystery for my own pleasure of solving it. However, you are very welcome.Animal Mother wrote:Thank you pal. That was nice of you.

I've only just seen the C65 Trident GMT and I'm determined to get that next. Love the look. Yours looks great too.whoagorgeous wrote:Both finally arrived today. I'm digging them.
Except for the pins/collar from the bracelet. I truly hate it. Decided to give up trying to adjust it myself and just put a strap on it for now.
