There's this, which was shipped via Russian Post and will therefore arrive somewhere between two weeks from now and the heat death of the universe:

And then there's this, which is being shipped via DHL and should be here next week sometime:

Having the bezel on the second one swapped for this by Meranom:

Tap. Talk. Buy another watch. Repeat as needed.

I managed to go over 3 months without a watch purchase, yet somehow have now ordered 2 quartz watches in the same week :shock: I am weak :oops:

I have this alpina coming thanks to an awesome member on this forum who is forwarding it to me, and also johnP for listing the deal as I was about to buy one off eBay for more.

Image

And then this Oceanus t200 because it's just a damn nice watch and I got a great deal

At 38mm, it was pretty hard not to order one. Only problem was deciding between the white or black dial; hopefully I don't end up with both :shock:

Order placed with the tan strap.

After selling my modded 5610 I realized I no longer had a solar atomic watch.

I feel like this is a classic that should be in the collection (7S and all). Thanks to a deal from [mention]denormalize[/mention], it now will be.

Pretty happy to find this and at a really good price. This seems like a much better value than the SARG011 I have been hunting.

Hopefully. Macy's shows it as "unavailable" right after I placed the order. :shock:

I still have a Junghans digital coming from Serbia. Has only been a month and a half, so I am not worried yet.

Last night I impulse purchased a used Citizen Nighthawk off of eBay.

Was this the one on reddit? Would love to know how you like it once you get a chance to wear it a bit.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

That's the one; really surprised it was still available when I found it.

So far im liking it a lot. Wore it for two days straight if that tells you anything (I rarely do that 😅).

Pros:
The leather strap that came with it is very comfortable
They also include curved spring bars for straps
Weight
Legibility
Lume
4hz
Good Date placement
5-position adjustment

Cons:
At times dial appears dark blue, i suspect due to the AR coatings in the inside. This is really for others as I dont have a problem with it.
Wears a little big
Your S.O. might ask you to dim your watch when you go to bed, but you can't
