After many months of cyber lurking and a few years of looking at half-decent watches i've finally taken the plunge.

as many before me i've gone for Seiko, a watch i'd umm'ed and arggh'd over at £300... £149 delivered from Creation and it was a no brainier, i would of ordered my second Seiko at the same time but wanted to check to see how a smooth transaction was.

Three working days and its here, pain free, The bag had a blue label circled with NOT CLEARED on it which had been circled which was a bit of a worry... apparently just x-ray, not customs.

Might have to do one a month, with Creation.

They will send you emails every now and again.

Not just the usual marketing drivel, they know exactly what you want, and then attempt to sell it cheaper than you could wish.

The watch you bought was one of those a few weeks back, it looks very much like its Marine Master big brother, good choice!

Next you need a Monster with a Watchadoo bracelet from eBay.

Marine Master, now that looks good!

I fancied a SKX007 at the same time or a monster, will prob's go for one (007 next) on a rubber strap as a beater, for site site visits etc.

Need to learn all about specials and mods etc yet but would quite like a modified Seiko

I did have a -10% discount voucher from them via email today, that on top of -40% to uk prices and this could get silly lol.

Blimey, sounds like you're getting it bad (or should that be good hehe) already! Here are my two mods, if you hadn't seen them already -
