Thanks - the Seiko model is Sportura Kinetic Auto Relay Titanium 5J22-0E00; I picked it up as a NOS item. I have always liked Seikos and this is my third Kinetic, the other two have never missed a beat although the oldest could now do with a capacitor change

Thanks

Re straps I came across some really amazing sites when I was looking about recently, will share when I'm on the laptop later.

They're pretty well engineered, aren't they!

These are some of the ones I came across and stood out, assume they're quite well known but I'm new to watches

That is really nice, and has got me looking at Grand Seikos.

Agreed, a lovely looking watch that.

[Athlon]

off to support Moelfre lifeboat tomorrow so this seems appropriate, 1 of 40 made and a super clean face for a Breitling. Love this watch!

Sensor panel still works perfectly too. It's just that I have to refer back to the manual everytime I need to set it


Back to something a bit more conventional now for the weekend:

Another at the cheaper end, but a good workhorse.
I prefer the standard style to the bullhead.
