Let's see your Seikos!

So definitely something off with my Xmas now.

Gaining 3/4 minutes a day which is a bugger.

Can't think of any reason it would have become victim to any magnetic issues and resent the idea of paying our for a maybe fix.

Think it's worth contacting Seiko?

Try downloading the Lepsi magnetism app first just in case. I think it’s free so worth a shot.

I saw that Dom Hackett has a GS for sale if anyone is looking.

Price looks a bit strong and its described as a perpetual calendar which I'm not sure is correct.

I do like the SBGN007 though.

Tried that, didn't give any obvious signs of issues, so I dropped it off at the London Boutique today.

Chaps were very helpful, hopefully they can sort it.

Good luck, hopefully something simple

Not my watch, but looks like a 62Mas Reissue (SLA017 Prospex)

Lovely, lovely things and rare as hen‘s teeth. Expect to pay $7k for a good one.

Have a look at the SPB 143, they are around 1k and still look classy

This is my current favourite:

After the streetfighter ones they now do a naruto one:

that second link just shows up as a white strip on the left of a black page (Chrome on PC)

[ZesPak]

It was a loading strip...

Second link works for me but I can't see the 'watch list' page of other people's designs for some reason.

Really hard to resist! I was going to post this but a bit too late for you - Goldsmiths have got it and there's a 20% off code that makes the price £440 - WATCH20. No 3rd year guarantee though so might be worth a bit extra. I've ordered mine about an hour ago! I've just bought 2 Michelin PS4s's for the Civic as well yesterday. The money just buggers off doesn't it?!

This 20% offer has now stopped, anyone know if its back before Christmas???

Edit: It still works, only on certain items.

Any idea what this Seiko is worth?

30 quid? It’s a 5M62 something or other.

Cheers - won't bid on it in that case.

Fancied some colour so put this on today;

Circling the entrance of a deep rabbit hole with this one. All the Seiko chronos I had until this point were from the Suwa factory. Seiko's more mainstream Daini factory also produced their own, separate (movement and everything) lines of chronos - this 7016-5000 aka "Monaco" was from 1972, so a couple of years after the white heat of "first automatic chronograph"...







There's a brilliant podcast by Atlassian (part of a series on leadership and collaboration) that explores why Seiko had Suwa and Daini compete with each other - if you're interested at all in their history, it's totally worth a listen.

I bought a Seiko pressage Shippo enamel dial about two years ago for £1200. I noticed a new version for version for over £3k! What is the difference because the dials looks identical.
