It's not for me but I applaud you for getting a piece that you like and not some generic, ubiquitous, clone of a boring brand.

Xmas present, now my daily, only swap it for an old quartz Tag chrono when I'm out for a run.

Love it. Not great quality phone pic - will take a better one if people are interested.

Everyone's welcome in the Watch forum

Lets have a shot of that on the wrist- Looks unusual (in a good way)

I don't think I'd buy one either, but it's pretty cool

here you go..just a rough 'n' ready pic via thumbsnap. Now have put a nice tan suede strap on it and this compliments the copper/rust coloured dial very nicely (just noticed bezel marker at 12 is not spot-on...i was playing around with it whilst putting it on..)

That's a very nice looking watch Top Banana. Love the dial colour. Looks like a curious mix of styles where rather than the more traditional driving watch style of having a fixed bezel with the tachymetre on it (Omega Speedmaster, Rolex Daytona etc), you have the tachymetre on the dial with what looks like a dive watch style rotating bezel with five minute pattern on top. Perfect if you own an amphibious car

It's a mecha-quartz. The large second hand is the chrono hand, so the tachymeter is (theoretically) useable. Yes, the bezel rotates, but I never understood why, because it's not marked.

I know its nowhere as glamorous as some of the fantastic watches on here but I am really pleased with this - I have never had more than a 'beater' watch so to have something a little bit nicer is a real treat..always wanted a 'bullhead' style but the crazy prices for vintage ones meant they were out of my reach.

A nice 'rallye' style strap and a tan leather strap are on their way so that I have some options on straps for it - the colour of the main dial is wonderful and changes with different light on it. Seiko movement so should be nice and reliable.

Looks like nothing else, certainly refreshing!

Top Banana - Good to see something different, love the colours TBH it's not so much the watch that counts, more the enthusiasm that comes with it

Fullook - Like that a lot, however I may be biased...



Here's my choice for today. Yes, I know the date is wrong, and the bezel was reminding me when I parked the car

May explain it, still not lined up though.

Apologies, it’s still in the same position if it makes you feel any better .

Thought it might look awkward with the angled 'head' but it doesn't
The dial colour does give it some 'pow'
Very nice
