What do you guys think of this Seiko?

....

A bit busy on the face for me, but if you like it go for it. It’ll last well.

I personally don’t like the chronograph/dive bezel combo. One or t’other for me.

Now, in other news, the Vostok Amphibianerai is back in stock, the inevitable has happened so I need to shift another couple of watches, haha.



If anyone fancies a square faced Boss quartz let me know. Hardly worn.

I do like that Vostok...

£168.75 ordered today. Quite chuffed as I expected all 300 to go quickly and I forgot about the launch time today.

I may have been browsing Ali hungover at the weekend and quite possibly definitely ordered a Corgeut Aqua Terra homage.

Oh dear

That does look good. If you're impressed by it I may just follow your lead.

Arrived today, lovely looking thing, rotor is a tad noisy though. This is the one with the Seagull movement, maybe the Miyota one is a bit quieter? Comes with a deployant clasp. Strap seems decent enough.

Thanks

I like the way the hour hand is truncated to line up flat with the hour markers bottom edge.

Then the cream dial and the blue/gold/red accents on it.

I normally like the more sporty looking watch but this is a nice in between I think.

2 weeks delivery btw, that's quick from China.

Incoming Citizen eco drive, one in and to the value of out (rule for this year...)

I might sell it on straight away if the bracelet doesn’t fit, was just less than 1/2 budget.
Best picture I could find..

why not adjust the bracelet?

That's a pretty poor excuse to not buy another watch.

Yeah!!!!

It does look good, why not just buy a bigger bracelet for it??

It might not be big enough and I like the bracelet, due to the age getting extra links could be a challenge. However I do have a spare Citizen dive strap which should fit.

It’s the blue dial Pepsi bezel version of this

Rather smitten with your Ocean Star, but would like to duplicate your modifications (imitation, flattery etc).

Mido UK can't source the blue rubber strap, and I'm not sure they have found the correct PVD clasp.

Don't suppose you have part numbers for the strap / clasp, and maybe a source, do you?

Many thanks

David
