Blimey, I've not seen a set like that before. Very interesting.

Thought some of you here might be interested in this. It's a Seiko Air Diver's 5M43-0C30- not that interesting in itself. The watch came as part of Shimano's (bicycle componenet manufacturer) limited edition 25th anniversary dura ace groupset and is numbered sequentially along with the gruppo.The watch and gruppo are NOS and stashed for a rainy day.
And for context this is the entire groupset

Now *that* is awesome :)Originally Posted by rutteger
Mind you I hate cycling, just love metal stuff with custom cases.
cheers! Cycling can get a little tiring. The case is sweet, should've done a picture of the second layer.Originally Posted by kungfugerbil
This a nice and different set - very 8)
It's just a matter of time...
Nice indeed. The watch is a little small for todays standard but the Dura Ace is really nicely finished, more so than a regular groupset.Originally Posted by Omegamanic
dont quite see the link between dive watches and cycling but a nice thing nevertheless
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I could not have resisted putting that on a bike. In the words of Greg Wallace (Masterchef) - "Laaaaaaarvely, Phwoaaaaarr!"
Reminds me of the Campag Super Record 50th anniversary set:
Slightly less practical as it actually had 18ct gold inserts (not ideal for weight reduction!).
I'd have still put it on a bike though
Cheers,
I guess it's just a link up between two solid Japanese companies. Think Seiko are waaaay more selective with their 'collaborations' than Casio for example :)Originally Posted by seikopath
Campag 50th is special, makes the DA look plain Jane. I'd not dare build and ride it, esp given how much these go for :shock:Originally Posted by markc
Wow - how did they manage to get all of those parts in such a tiny watch :wink:Originally Posted by kungfugerbil
I was going to post.... "for crying out loud please do not let campag get hold of this idea". Way,way to late! Honda HRC goodies packaged with a Grand Seiko anyone?

Mark, thats a fantastic gruppo. I LOVE the Campi super record. :love4:Originally Posted by markc
I had the Campi's on my Cinelli back in the day. The Italians know how to make stuff, and with style and beauty. 8)
I miss my road bike.
Looks great in the case, that would make a great display. So nice to show off.
Great stuff, thanks for sharing.

Love this gear.Originally Posted by rutteger
I wonder if the metals are the same for the Shimano and the watch case.
So cool! Do you ever wear the watch?
