I bought the Series 8 - 870 from Sales Corner back in the summer.

Overall, you get a lot of watch for the price.

The Seiko Island Green Limited Edition SLA047J1 is worth a look.

Went to see both the spb213 and spb147. The 213 is very nice and a limited edition. However, I walked out with the 147 because the brown and gold combo was class and the rubber strap was very...

Thanks for the all the advice.

Fun driving for me was open top with powered hard roof and 2 seaters, so Z4 and SLK seemed the obvious choices. MX-5 was also considered but I prefer the cabin of...

Hi all,
Will be losing my company car by end of August. So using this as an excuse, am thinking about getting a Z4 or SLK for some fun driving. The other half tells me it is mid-life crisis! Tend to...

Thanks

For me, this is the best looking Grand Seiko. What a lovely dial.
What is the model reference?

A friend of mine has several modern Grand Seikos including GS Springdrive. (he occasionally has a stall at the watch fair at the Motorbike Museum, so you may have met him if you visited the fair). I...

Here are my two, bought a few weeks back from Daniel (Dibetu).

Seiko Quartz, over 30 years old and has only lost one second in 2 weeks, great dress watch....

When Mike let me try out this sub, I contemplated make a mad dash to my car but I wasn't so sure about out running Mike.
Must get fit for the next GTG. :lol:

Judging by the finishing of the movement, I reckon it is an Omega. Don't know which model though!



Pete aka ObiWan

belongs to me. :-) Was lucky to get it in the reserve list.

Ta.

Been investigating on the net and as already mentioned the chrono module is the worry part as repairs are expensive. It does not come with box or papers but I will check it out tomorrow.

Thanks...

Hi Guys,

Need some advice here please.
Having got the Italian LE, I thought I was going to be happy and not need another fix for the near future. Same old story, took a walk at lunch time in...
