That looks a bit of a beast. I like it but wonder whether my 'athletic'/girly wrists are man enough to carry that off.
As Figaro says, that's a very decent spec for half thread.

Here's how mine looks on my barely 7" wrist:



Not too bad I think, and even better on a Nato strap:

A couple of years ago my Vostok Scuba Dude started intermittently stopping only to be started with a bit of a jolt.
So I gave it to someone on this thread and I believe they fixed it.
Strangely (or maybe not) I bloody loved that watch but the prices got ridiculous and delivery times climbed through the roof so I never replaced it.

Anyway a new one is on the way from a UK seller for £75.

Pics to follow when it arrives, I'm all excited.

No today watch pic as it's £100 over budget.

Happy new year all.

Cover 1/3 of it with your sleeve....probably sneak it through. :-)

You're brave! Careful you don't get mugged for it!

Very decent indeed! Their milsub homages are pretty well done but I think I prefer their original designs.

Anyway, the PRX is on the wrist and is bloody lovely at only 5% over thread budget:

I live in the Derbyshire dales not that London.

Slightly outside of thread remit, but I thought you all might like the Seiko 'Marathon timer' desk clock I got for Christmas. I think they are about 30 quid.

PO for scale.

I think it's great!

I like that. I’ve fancied one for a while but never made the leap

I like the fact they they’ve reverted to the black dial. I bought one with the paler grey dial, and I just couldn’t get on with it. Managed to find an alternative style black dial and Joe at Anglesey watches did an excellent job in swapping it over for me.

I keep thinking about getting one of these for my bedside table.

Cooler than a penguins ball bag!

Evening everyone!

My first entry into this thread, I'm a newbie in the watch section but I love a good watch.

I've been looking at Seiko Sports for a while now and there is a stonking deal at Amazon, just under thread by 77p I bought this...
