Got back from hols and into my office today to find two lovely packages waiting for me! Well let's get them open then... This one first: Nicely protected... Nearly there... And here she is! Obligatory wrist shot... (Strap/bracelet suggestions please?) Next up: A little easier to get into... Oh my, she's a beauty! And then the postman came! (Sorry if you got bored halfway through!)

Sweet! Watch out that the IT police don't catch you at work! Has that first one got the "carbide" case? Can't go wrong with the UJW (Universal Japanese Watch)! And I really like that green limited edition! I hadn't seen the green one before. - Thomas

Same goes for the 007 as well really! I'll have to get over myself on that score though. As for carbide case, I've no idea? That's a new one on me so a bit of research will be in order later on. And I am the IT police luckily! Pip.

Regarding the bracelet - get one of the sports diver bracelets from UncleSeiko. The ones with large links.

Nice Anniversary 5.
I hit up Seiya for the black dial version when they first were announce as it reminded me of the original Alpinist.
Unfortunately his allotment had already been sold out.

Oh that bracelet should suit, I'll have to see if it's available in a 19mm. Off to UncleSeiko I go...!

I have been looking for one of these Citizen Promaster watches for years, and at the right price well that happened recently and its inbound. When it arrives I will send to Adrian for some TLC and a restoration as parts are still available. I also grabbed this one as I dont have a white dialed Diver, got this for a song. Cheers Mark

Nice way to start the back to work routine.
I really dig the Sweep Seconds hand on the Anniversary with the red 5 tail end. Wow.
