Update on PC's watches...
 
I thought I would show some photos of the watches I've acquired since I started becoming active on the group recently....

Photography by yours truly.

My Sinn 556i 55th Anniversay LE model with sunburst anthracite gray dial and no date complication. A nice spin on the very popular Sinn 556-series.
Limited to 1000 pieces. Functional yet classy and elegant.

Shown here on the classic (and very comfortable) Sinn H-link bracelet

The leather strap from Sinn that comes with the watch. Very well made, as is everything from Sinn.

Very nice Stephen! I like the simple but elegant anthracite dial! :thumbsup:
Enjoy!

Some of you remember my first Swiss luxury watch, my Tudor Black Bay Blue:

Well, I still have it, as it is one of my very favorite watches, but in August 2016 I bought it's more vintage-oriented brother, the now-classic Tudor Black Bay "Black". Rose gold hands and index marker surrounds, gilt dial, and a warmer tone to the lume. I bought this one NIB on the very nice Tudor factory bracelet.

Yeah, it's very nice. A nice contrast to my much more functionally oriented Sinn 556A, which is probably the most versatile watch I own as it goes with virtually any strap or the Sinn H-link bracelet.

I usually wear my 556A on a NATO nylon strap of some sort since it's got such a purposeful, military vibe.

My Oris Diver 65 "Topper Edition". A very limited edition of 100 of a collaboration between Topper Fine Jewelers in Burlingame, CA and Oris. This version has the typography that closely matches the original 1965 Oris Diver, orange color lume on the tip of the seconds hand and bezel pip that matches how the lume ages on the original 1965 models, and once again, no date complication. The no date complication maintains the beautiful dial symmetry and the sapphire box crystal recapitulates the look of the orignal acrylic crystal's interplay with light.

Mine is #60 of 100.

Works well on an "original" Bond 9-strip NATO of navy, burgundy and olive.

Love the Nato strap with the Spitfire and the Gulf scheme strap with the Porsche 908 is awesome too. :thumbsup:

Ha! Yeah! It's pretty dang versatile. I've been wearing lately on a really nice "sapphire" blue-ish NATO from BluShark called "Blu Steel". Looks beautiful on it. :thumbsup:

It must be a Sinn to have watches that cool!

What can I say, I'm basically a Sinner! :D
