Well, the Explorer is sold! Loved the watch, just did not suit me. Have something coming from Bernard watch. Should be here by the end of the week. One clue. The manufacturer is French!

Got it in one! In that case I will show a picture from their site of the one that is winging it's way to me!




It's the 18k and SS Santos Galbee XL auto. My first employer back in 1980 had one and I always loved it!
This one is mint condition no marks at all and according to Bernard keeping +4 seconds a day.

First time dealing with bernard and it won't be my last, they are so easy to deal with!

I have seven watches but this is the one I love. Purchased it in the early 1990s. 20 years later it still works perfect. I even like the scratch across the crystal. I wear it everyday.

New watch!
 
Baume & Mercier Capeland M0A08380
 
It actually arrived the other day but I only managed to take a photo today. I must say I really like it. Built like a tank and simply gorgeous, although reading the exact minute can be difficult at times. This is my first mechanical watch (hell, the first watch I've bought as an adult) so I'm still getting used to the whole concept.

That's a beauty!  Congrats!

This watch has been on my wishlist for a year or so. I think I will buy one next time I am in Hong Kong. On eBay I have had this on my "watch"-list for some time:

I think it is a classic and a great watch for the money.

 Very Nice!
I have the large (not extra large Galbee) SS/Gold like that and a Santos Ronde (they have one at the Bernerd site for sale) already collectors item. I ma thinking on selling my Galbee to finance the purchase of a Breitling Bentley GMT. It was serviced by Cartier and not used since so it looks just like new. it is a little bit smaller and the date is at 6 O'clock.
 
BTW the one I bought from Bernard was a SS ladies Santos for my daughter 6 years ago.

Nice!  I've always liked that style.
