Hi,

Sounds like they may be counterfeit to me.

I’ve had occasion where I have had the odd bad blade in a tuck, but your experience sounds like it’s more than just the odd blade.

Have a...

I have 3 of his pen cases, 2x2 pens and 1x1.

They are certainly excellent quality and exceptional value for money. If I remember correctly Konrads communication was brilliant too.

A huge thumbs...

It’s been a long time since I’ve noticed a 72/74 on the forum, gorgeous watch and one of my very few regrets was selling mine on.

The hour hand does need to be rotated, in hour increments to advance the date on this model.

Your skyflake has no gmt functionality and therefore has a quick set date.

With GMT’s, you either...

Fulton Tornado…… job done.

Compact, wind proof with a ‘self protecting’ mechanism that collapses the umbrella without damaging it, can be had for around £30.

Longest lasting brolly I’ve ever...

How bizarre. If it’s any help, I held accounts for both my kids and they were exactly as the article describes, Bare Trusts. As far as I can recall they were just straightforward ‘kids account’ with...

Hi,

Here you go, hope this helps and it has a list of banks offering trustee accounts:

Hey all,

Just received a new custom made leather strap for my GS and i think it is a belter!

Yep, very difficult to capture. I was surprised with the sunburst effect, I really wasn’t expecting that. It really does have the subtle character of a vintage piece. Certainly worth a look.

Hi All,

My 147 arrived today and i'm loving it. It really is a lovely bit a kit and has oodles of character. Here are a few initial piccies

Thanks chaps for the input.

Looks like I’ll just have to wait and see if any follow up request for the fees arrives.

If not, then I’ve been lucky :-)

That’s interesting to know. I have been charged before by other couriers, after delivery.

The thing that puzzled me was the specific instruction on the Charges sticker ‘ not to deliver until...

Ah, thanks. I shall wait and see if I get any follow up correspondence.

Hi all,

I have just received a relatively low cost item that I ordered from Japan (£40 ish) A 16mm GS watch buckle.

There was a full and proper declaration by the vendor, which is absolutely...

Yep, I use a wet stone to do mine and it works well.

Double sided #400 grit one side 1000 the other.

Thanks
Martin

Thanks. I have adjusted one previously and with a little bit of patience, care and the correct screwdriver (most important) it is achievable without damage.

After reading another post, quite some...

Hi All

First of all an apology to to the OP for my high jacking of this thread, in my haste it just seemed like the right place to put this, especially as ruined GS screw heads had come up in the...

It doesn’t look like that to be honest, the watch head and lugs are completely unmarked. It had been unwrapped as such as it had been sized by them, but when I spoke to them I asked if it was a brand...

I will find out tomorrow, hopefully, how they intend to resolve this and if they don’t resolve this to my reasonable satisfaction, then I will go public and also let Seiko know how their AD’s treat...

To be honest i don't think that is the case. I have very carefully inspected the watch head and its perfect........ i honestly believe that this damage was done while resizing the bracelet.

I know...

I think i could have done a better job with a pickaxe!

Well you ain't seen nothing yet............ My brand new GS received today from a GS AD, i'm not naming them as the issue is in the process of being resolved........have a look at these and weep!!

It does suit that Seiko very well indeed!
