Collecting this beauty on Tuesday (stock pic in the meantime).

You're going to really love it. First GS?

Indeed. My tastes are on the change. Sports watches are on the way out, to be replaced by interesting movements, dials and case designs. I bought a Reverso last week. Love that.

Until your eyesight starts going, then you'll be back to easy to read dive watches!

Cyclops is original on the gen3 monster.

Thank you. I didn't know that. My first gen doesn't have one. Lovely colour on yours.

Still loving this recent arrival, a well worn SARW015.

Love it!
Would you mind sharing how much you got it for and where from?

SARB033. Has to be one of the best value for money watches out there?

I paid £189 for mine new two years ago when there was a 20% off deal on eBay. Wish I’d got the white one at the time too!

£189 is an absolute steal!

Great watch that, one of the few I've moved on and now look back wondering if it was a wise thing to do. I think both dial variants are discontinued now which is only going to have one influence on pre-owned values.

Today I've been wearing my SBGX063, probably the only watch I own that I wouldn't change a single aspect of.

Essex, right? And you've got an Elise? How about a Lotus and Credor meet up?

Oops... Didn't mean to leave you hanging, I've only just read this!

I think we could sort something out, will PM you in a few days when I know what I'm up to for the coming weekends

Finally got my grail watch. A birth year, birth month Grand Seiko 3180 First with carved logo from December 1960. A birthday present from my wife and she's a keeper. Nicely patinated and not perfect but plenty of character.

Very nice. Must admit I would be very tempted to have the dial cleaned though. If it was possible.

Almost certainly not possible due to the engraved dial. As it's 59 years old I'm happy to accept it's not perfect. There's plenty of perfect ones out there which would have cost more than 10 times what this one did.

Aye, okay. I hear you.. There is always a danger that the dial could be ruined in the process. It's a personal preference I guess. I didn't mean to down it in any way. It's a lovely thing.

This arrived yesterday, SSB031 fitted with a Watch Gecko N2 nylon/leather strap:
