Depends. As a company yes, being part of Seiko Watch Corporation. However Lorus is at a very different price point so this is where they put their higher priced Seiko colleagues to shame.

After the planet ocean these two. It’s been a bit of a busy week [emoji3064]
Met up with my mate Wes aka Kippax earlier. Finally managed to persuade him to sell me this as he is off to live his BLNR dream tomorrow.

Not a watch, but a De Modell Speedy Rallye Strap very generously donated and sold by watchmad (Mark) for the fundraiser.
I bought it specifically to put on my Seiko SARB015 - it feels like a quality bit of kit.

This arrived this week, it’s a bit of fun from the aptly named Walter Mitty watches (yes that is their name) [emoji39]
Not bad for the money and a nice sized 5517 homage.
My new Smith W10! So so happy

Picked this up tonight. Have to say the jubilee bracelet is stunning, a small micro adjustment on the clasp and it was on the wrist. Such a relief to have the stickers removed on this one. Sit back relax and enjoy.

Surprised the wife with this at the same time. Late 20th wedding anniversary present.

Seamaster 2255.80 that I picked up a couple of months ago, but went straight off for a service.
Back on my wrist this week & looking superb with the new black 2254 bezel!
(Thanks to Walkerwek1958 - great watch servicing!)

First g shock on a bracelet, really impressed. Very light/comfortable, and so easy to resize with the spring bar/link system.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...52bca11e65.jpg

I love that! The little pop of red gives it an real sense of fun. What model reference is that if you done mind me asking?
Sent from my iPhone using TZ-UK mobile app
Looks like the GW-B5600HR-1ER BLACK AND RED HERITAGE SERIES but this one has a resin band.

Brilliant, thank you

Awesome, thanks. So is the band made of resin? Does it wear or feel much different to a ‘normal’ bracelet?

This is a decidedly daft post, but hopefully a bit entertaining.
A couple of months ago, I got a Globemaster as my daily wearer. This Seiko Presage had been my daily for the previous 12 months or so, and once I was sure it had been superseded, I decided that I would sell it, and put some of the money towards upgrading my beater, which has been a Seiko 5 (an SNZG13)
I put it on SC at £350...no interest; I lowered it to £300...still nothing; I lowered it to £250...and at this point I realised something......
My specs for a new beater were going to be black dial, brushed oyster bracelet, good readability, a reliable movement, about 40mm, budget £250; if the Presage was only worth £250 then this was an excellent candidate for my beater! So I sold it to myself, and have reintroduced it to my collection, after a couple of months tucked away in its box.

And it feels great to have it back on the wrist. It's a really good fit for me, very comfortable. I've always found the feuille hands and Breguet numerals more amusing than refined, so ceasing to lavish care and attention on it won't feel odd. My life is pretty gentle, so it's not like it's going to be getting covered in deep gouges.
Now I have to decide what to do with the SNZG13 - even unworn they don't cost much, so I doubt there's much point in my selling it, I'll just tuck it away, to sit in reserve.
One of two new seiko arrivals. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fc2c3389f2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2a074e678b.jpg
