Incoming 3861! And a few interesting pieces on the short list

As much as I love the speedy had to move my 1861 for a trade and learned that the hesalite scratches bother me & hate the bracelet. I always knew I'll eventually get the 3861 as it answer most of my prayers being a bit thinner as well.


Went to the seller's place and he showed me a few interesting pieces. Thought you guess might like as well.
Soyuz






Quite happy with the 3861. But the apollo 11 is definitely on my radar and probably get 1 eventually after acquiring my rootbeer.

Grats. The 3861 is a nice watch. Love mine. Made the mistake of selling it and ended up replacing it. Not a huge fan of the NTTD Bond SMP but I do like the 60th Anniversary Bond one. Has smaller/tighter wave pattern, lollipop seconds hand and no date.

Sorry for the late response. I live in thailand and I reached out to the authorized dealer for Pelican case and got it. However, searching Pelican watch case in lazada & shopee also has a few of them cost around 30 usd just for the insert. I got the box and insert for roughly 120USD.

Yes I love the fact that both of them doesn't have a date and love the fact that the nttd is super low key and is Titanium giving me a bit of variety as well. But I actually love the 60th anni caseback

WOW
Love that case!
Those red inserts are great, I love how they are rounded out for the watch head.
If anyone finds these online please share a link with me.
I just looked over the Pelican case and can't find these.
