Thought I would share my two arrivals with you, both coming this week, but only had time for a photo this evening.

I have to say I am delighted with both.

The Sinn is on my wrist at the moment, and is a definite presence. The black of the dial almost seems more black than some of my other watches, and the red chrono-hands jump out at you. At 43mm diameter, it's large, but it doesn't wear too large, and looks in proportion with its extended tapering lugs. This is one of the watches that I have yearned for since a while back, and it has taken some time to find and buy. It came with all the goodies, orignal bracelet, box, extensive service history at Sinn and replaced parts such as the bezel and crystal. A well cared for and great watch (imho). You needn't offer to take it off my hands, as I ain't selling.

The Autavia is a bit more of a brute to look at, but with the simple dial in one colour, and clear hands it is vey legible and nicely understated. Again, love it. I also hadn't realised that the Cal 12 movement step advances the chrono minutes, rather than sweeping forward. Nice feature.

To be honest, I wouldn't have chosen to acquire both of these within a week (I think it is important to enjoy each incoming watch as it arrives), but having bought the Autavia, the owner of the 156 re-approached me about an offer i made a few weeks back, and I ended up with both.

I don't suppose that I'm complaining, but it means I shan't be looking at buying anyhting for a while......

Cheers
