Still wearing my Hydroconquest everyday, three months in now.
Still on the original bracelet - it has the odd scuff now so i'm not so precious/worried about it now! - maybe i'll mix things up with a shark mesh bracelet one day, or a blue Toshi strap. Having said this, the polished centre links which I was unsure about have really grown on me, and add to the watches appearance, making it stand out a little. It's a comfortable well designed substantial bracelet too, so why change it...
I only take it off to wash/work on the bike. It's keeping fantastic time, very near (if not) COSC. Very comfortable, and easy to read, and the bezel stands out beautifully when it catches the sun - i'm glad I went for blue!
I don't stare at it as much as I used to, but I sure love it! For a special never-sell watch for my 21st birthday, I chose well It's transpired since day one that that it is so nice that it just has to be worn everyday - and fortunately, it makes a great everyday watch thats for sure. Thanks to the people who recommended it!
Nice review of a fantastic watch. I'm a year in with mine now and love it. Ridiculous value for money, I don't think there's anything in its price range to touch it.

The one thing it does emphasise is that the Hydroconquest is a very versatile watch, it looks quite different on a leather strap and its bracelet.
Totally agree on VFM, though, a great watch at the price.

That's a mighty fine watch/car combo right there!
But why not get an official Ferrari watch, they're pure class http://store.ferrari.com/gb_en/watches.html#more4

Indeed, just put mine back on its bracelet, for a change and wondering why I ever took it off

Loving the Hydroconquest love. I went for the silver in the end as I just really fell in love with the raised numbering on the bezel.I agree that the blue dial looks nicer, but the silver's not too bad when it's broken up with the sub dials on a chronograph.
Wonder if I can change the dial to a blue one, but keep the nice bezel...?

I suspect it may have been easier to buy a blue faced watch and change the bezel.I agree that the blue dial looks nicer, but the silver's not too bad when it's broken up with the sub dials on a chronograph.

Like the look of that - any further info regarding model etc?
It's a Seiko SBPG001 "Spirit", a solar powered digi with radio controlled timekeeping. They're Japan only which makes them a little trickier than normal to get hold of but they come up pre-owned now and again for around £170 - £180, creationwatches used to list them new but they've since delisted that model.Snubs said:
