Ebay twente(o) seller has them. I have found their spring bars to be of good quality and delivery to the UK is quite fast.

Roger Smith's YouTube page is full of some impressive stuff. Have a look but be warned, you may be there for hours.

The last £50 I spent was a for an incoming SRP017. A good choice? We'll see.....

Simply amazing. He has become a real artist. You really must talk him into a video demonstration.
Thanks for sharing with your excellent photos.

Yes Gary absolutely! That is a point well made. I have a great admiration for the independent watchmakers of this world. The skilled and honest ones at least.

That lapping chuck is called a "Bobino". Bates of Switzerland produce their own version http://www.bates.ch/en/produits/horlogerie/accessoires_mach.php which can be seen briefly in this excellent...

Priceless!!

A good laugh to end the long work week.

Watching the film Ronin last night and spotted Robert De Niro wearing a Hanhart. Couldn't make out the model but never the less......Cool!

Ah, "Near water" through me off......

Cheers.

Haven't been to a Costco for a couple of years. May have to pop in Saturday to have a look.
Was that the Bristol store?

Made for each other.

One of my favorites of the Seiko diver range.
Nice to see a watch used for the purpose that it was made. In my experience Seiko's were most often the choice of professional drivers because of their...

That is insanely Cool! :coolskull: Why would anybody have a black dial? Congrats..

I can see how it could look dull to the uninitiated but I can assure you that it is a very exciting sport for those that have tried it. It really is a lot of fun.

Hi and welcome. Like the Velatura.

Thanks for the GS love Duncan. :icon_biggrin::icon_biggrin::icon_biggrin:

There isn't a modern watch that I desire more than the SBGM023.

Thanks for the heads up re: German TV. Earlier this year I installed a multiple LNB satellite to watch the F1 on RTL. I'll keep a look out for future Fencing Competitions.

I could be tempted by that one................but probably not this one....

Oh Dear God I hope not. 1975 was a great year (for me anyway as I bought my first watch a Seiko 6105-8010) but never, ever again.

Has anybody else here been enjoying the fencing on the BBC? I've waited 30 years for this sport to get even a mention from the TV coverage. Now the BBC have given the most outstanding and complete...

So what is a fair price for these?

The cynics here do make me laugh and fortunately have not influenced your decision to return the watch. Life is too short. Well done.

Great Thread! Very impressed with your progress. Good luck with your career.

This Alpinist has been on my wish list for some time now. A real Seiko classic.
Congrats to you and Kato San.
