    Thanks. Luckily, it's still under warranty so I might just take it back to the shop. However, I'm not sure if this would be covered under the warranty.

    Right, thanks. Mine doesn't seem to have the plastic in it protecting the lume. That must be why it seemed a bit off to me. I'm not sure how that could have just fallen out. The whole thing seems...

    Seiko Samurai lume pip

    I've had my Seiko Samurai for a while but I can honestly say I've never really focused on the lume pip on the bezel. When I looked at it last week, it looked a bit recessed which just didn't look...

    Very fortunate to be in a position to buy a Rolex at 27 years old! I wouldn't have even dreamed of buying a Rolex at that age. Not that I'm that much older (31) but even now I still couldn't...

    Do you have the same view on Miyota movements? i.e. do you think they are as bad as Seiko 4R/6R movements?

    In my limited experience of Seiko 4R/6R movements, they seem well regulated. I don't have any issues with them but I'm aware other people have.

    Do you tend not to regulate 4R/6R movements due to a...

    I have looked into the new 6L movements and I believe this to be the case.

    The 6L is also derived from Seiko's 4L movement which is the basis of the Soprod A10. So by inference the Soprod A10 is as good as the 8L. Soprod A10 (at least it used to be) is found on many lower...

    That's true. Although it is somewhat justified, imo of course, if the movement is highly decorated. Also, part of the higher cost is due to the brand name on the dial but we can't say the same for...

    Seiko 8L35

    This may have been asked before but what makes the 8L35 such a high grade movement that it is only seen in watches costing £2.5k+. I know it is an undecorated Grand Seiko movement so exclusivity...
