    Mine (no.1625) has arrived today; the mark-up from my SARB017 is even greater because I managed to pay £200 for the older model using an eBay 20% off voucher at the time when they were cheapest. I...

    Allowing 5 days to pay makes it even more likely they’re not selling actual stock. Surely they’re not calling people only after 5 days for a specific stock watch if payment isn’t received?

    I bought an MM200 on a whim in Macy's in April - cost just over £500 at the exchange rate on the day (on the silicon strap), though I spent a further £160 on the OEM bracelet. The lacquered bezel...

    That's a good point - it does indeed look excellent on the bracelet in the photo above, whereas I've always kept my green and gold one on different brown leather straps.

    I saw a video on this last night and expected to love it, but the numerals being silver rather than gold really takes some of the Alpinist's character away.

    I adore mine. And it's a watch which receives unsolicited compliments, which was a surprise.

    I got in early for the Kickstarter for this one - the Helgray Le Mans. It's quite nicely made but I'd prefer the sub-dials to be a bit closer to the centre. The supplied strap is slightly creaky. ...

    While packing to move house recently, I found a couple of truly awful Musical Fidelity watches I'd forgotten I'd ever bought. Not quite such a wonderful surprise.

    Is there any dog collar which will fit the 20mm lugs on my Seiko Alpinist and do I need new spring bars?
