I really like the face on that. May I ask where you bought it from at that price?
It was the face that originally attracted me, had a nice clean look. I bought it from a seller called watch*star on ebay but they no longer stock them in this colour.

You can get them for £57 from american ebay shipped to the UK though:

Got a letter from parcel force this morning with a bill from customs for £11.33 import VAT plus an £8 handling charge. Oh well, still only stands me in at £76, gets delivered Wednesday.

Brilliant, thank you for that I asked ages ago about where to get a bargain J Springs, now I know!

Do you happen to know if the black faced one is included or just the orange?

It looks so much better on the wrist than it does in the eBay picture. I must remember that as a good selling point in future

J Springs (by Seiko) Mens Prestige Sports Orange Dial [BBH104] on a new NATO that arrived this morning;



Might not be up with the 007 above, but works well as a 'basher' on the shopfloor.
Not to mention the £28 the watch cost in a sale wink

As far as I could see would have needed to spend £50 for you to get something back for recommending them.
So have a virtual beer

Would look good on a black Maratac (or even a grey one that matches the grey in the watch) with red stitching.

Interesting.

I bought mine with the specific intention of it being a work watch for the shop floor!

This is an 'experiment' for me as I don't normally go for orange watches, so I'm trying it out. Might be the right watch to test out my scepticism for NATOs too biggrin
