Nice score! Wenger is the biz
F-91w is a must
And the Accurist a good solid piece
Tell me more of that last one?
Linky?

These are fun watches!
You knew the F-91W is also called the terrorist watch?

Military intelligence officials have identified the F91W as a watch that terrorists use when constructing
time bombs.

I'm kind of hoping the pics aren't photoshopped at all and that's what the logo actually looks like

The Wenger, Casio and Accurist arrived today and I'm happy with all 3. Not much needs to be said about the Casio but I will spend a bit of time on the other two.
The Accurist is really pretty nice. Strap width is 22mm not the 20 that was advertised but that's not a deal breaker. The strap was very stiff and a sod to get off (took me ages and I stabbed my thumb with the springbar tool. It will live on Natos though and it works well on those, the dial is really rather nice, although hard to photograph, and the domed crystal is pleasing too. For reference the model is MS877S
The Wenger feels really solid. The hollow linked bracelet was pretty bad (like you'd get on a cheap Seiko 5), but I've put it on a Time Factors rubber strap I had and it looks great. It has a feature far too few watches have, two sets of springbar holes, and the squared off case/lug design means you can get a really nice fit with the strap. I'm sure it would look great on a Watchadoo too.
