This is one of the things that has always held me back from buying a Seiko even though I always wanted to own one at some point.
However, I finally took the plunge last week with an SPB313 (white...
Yep the Yarn Market would have made it too easy. We go down there about once a year (a bit of a pilgrimage for me) so I know it very well.
Sorry to hear about your mum but agree it’s a great place...
Usually a bit of a lurker on here but can’t resist as this is my Gran’s home town. Well that’s if it is Dunster High Street? Just having a Friday cider which probably helped with the recognition.

I've been wearing mine for a week now and honestly not sure if it's a keeper. It's a great watch with a lot of good points, and incredible value...but there's one thing that is bugging me. The colour...
Was also in the Bristol store. Lucked out as I didn’t know the Bristol boutique was opening today. I really liked it and decided to get one. I turned down an Explorer 1 a few weeks ago because it...
Similar position to you (registered interest in Oct, only prior purchase was a BB58) and just heard yesterday one is reserved for me. Still need to wait a couple of weeks but to be honest I was...
I got the same call today from FH. They were very polite but couldn’t give a timescale or even a guarantee I’d ever get one so I equally politely declined.
So I’ll add it to the short but growing...
My BB58 blue lives to fight another day!

Very happy with it...perfect size for me (6.75in) and has a nice blend of slightly vintage vibe with very crisp modern looks. I took it off the bracelet after about 24 hours and it’s now on an Erikas...
Love the old Tudor subs but no way I’m paying £10k for a blue snowflake from the 70s.
I was in a similar position to you a couple of weeks ago...was just about to get a BB58 blue to scratch the...
As he’s a child of the 70’s how about a Tissot PRX? I’m 48 and it appeals to me, my son also likes it and I’m actually considering buying him the Quartz version for his 16th. Might be nice if father...
Cheers, this post did make me smile. I am meant to be going in to see an AD in a couple of weeks...but I have to admit I am starting to ask myself what the hell I am doing. The experience of buying...
Thanks, appreciate the advice on that. Yep very strong instinct to go this route, especially as I’d already talked to them about the BB58 before the Explorer announcement. A genuine reason for going...
Thanks for the replies so far. Encouraging that the Explorer might be doable.
I don’t have a relationship with an AD but have spoken to my local Goldsmiths today. They were helpful but said the...
I’d call myself a fairly casual watch enthusiast...always had an interest and have had busy periods of buying, selling, collecting.
My next purchase will be a BB58, which I’ve been eyeing for a...
...and the Tissot/Omega from the late 1930s that the Janeiro seems to be a reissue of (interestingly Omega have a similar watch at the moment but with an outer timing bezel).
...
The Tissot Janeiro...could be the next purchase but would love to hear of any alternatives with this look!

Thanks all for the responses and suggestions. The one about the 1990s Omega Seamaster from Goldeneye keeps coming up and have added that to the long list.
I’ve done a bit more thinking / research...

Ditto...it’s actually pretty good.
Hi, I first joined the forum a few years ago when I got my ‘proper’ watch and whilst I haven’t posted much the forum has always been a great source of information and entertainment.
I recently...
I agree with you on the Timor, looks interesting.
I also know what you mean about the Longines. I’d seen the pics and videos and hated the fake patina. I happened to stumble on one in the flesh...
Good question and one I’ve been looking for an answer to recently. so glad I stumbled on this thread.
The only current reissue I could find is the most recent Longines Heritage Military based on...
