Long time between posts, but our new baby girl occupies most of my free time.

Picked up some new watches in the between including a few from my favorite boutique brand, Time Factors in England (bottom pic)

The PRS 18A (auto) and 18Q (quartz) in my mind are the most functional, yet handsome, do everything watches out there now. Beautifully made by Fricker, these divers offer the most bang for the buck. I had the A (pictured) which went out as an Xmas present while the Q sits on my wrist most of the time.

Also picked up a modern Zodiac (!) Oceanaire for a bit. Its a massive diver with a Claro Semag (Chinese) auto movement. I was actually impressed with the quality of the beast, but too big for my thin wrist and I kept getting bombarded with emails on the qc issues with the movement so I returned it to the brickmortar store I bought it from.

Also snagged another Pre wolf from the bay (top pic), a little pricy but it came with an early version of the expansion bracelet. The end pieces won't fit my latter Seawolves but the bracelet is still in pretty good shape. The watch itself needs a new crown but its in surprisingly good shape for its 50 plus years. Into the project pile.
