Four new watches in three weeks......

[LuvWatch]

For most of 2009 the watch thing just wasn't happening for me, then in the last two weeks of December two watches caught my eye.

Firstly this Seiko SBPG003, a true retro watch with up-to-date casing and module.



Secondly a watch which I had been after for a couple of years, a Zenith El Primero with coloured dial.



I then identified two watches that I would like to get in 2010, well, with a little luck they both came up within the first 5 days of 2010 :lol:

Another Seiko, this time a SARB003, again a retro look with modern material and movement. I wanted an unusual dress watch and this is so pretty and amazing quality (manual wind too).





Finally not another black dial watch, but a Fortis full lume dial.





and a lume shot


Now I not sure what I will do for the rest of the year :?

But I would like to thank Eddie for the forum and it's facilities as my two WTB threads were answered and to the TZers who responded to my WTB's who were a pleasure to deal with.

Thanks for reading

Trying to convince your missus that divorce isn't always the best solution? :lol: :lol: :lol:

However, incredible start into 2010. Love that Rainbow! :shock: :shock: :shock:

[WORKSIMON]

Love the Zenith too and the Fortis lume shot is just 8) 8) 8)

[Chris_in_the_UK]

Clearly attempting a forced castration before 1st Feb :lol:

Love the Fortis 8)

[Toshi]

Impressive start to the year :shock:

some really lovely watches there, too. I especially like the Seiko SARB003. Very cool :)

[Seamus]

That is one of the best pics of the SBPG003 I've seen.

[apeks]

the seiko looks impressive, excellent work on the pics!

[MattP]

Another fan of the Seiko, I have long had my eye on them but never had the courage to buy one blind, any chance of a wrist shot?

[SternG]

That's a good haul :D

Great pic of the SARB003, it makes one sit up and take notice - and then email one's ole buddy Seiya :D



Cheers

[andy tims]

Good work

[dutchgray]

:D Four good but very differnet watches, I like the digital Seiko because of its retro appeal but wouldn't want one myself, the other 3 I would happily own and wear, the Seiko with the orange dial and faceted crystal too some serious resisting about a year ago for me, very nearly had that incoming from Seiya a few times :D

[alexandr0s]

I really like the Seiko-what's the lug width on those btw?

Alex

[hobsong1]

I'm lov'in the Seiko!

[PeterM]

The Diashock pic is a real stunner :thumbright:

[LuvWatch]

Thanks for all the comments, I won't be getting a divorce or castration as like most of you I have a wife who is patronising and feigns interest, what more
can a man ask for :wink:

Sorry Matt no wrist shots but my wrist a near 8inches and the Seiko look fine.

Yup, it's a SARB005, sorry for any confusion. Lazy typing on my part :albino:

[Mr A]

Love the retro look of the SARB003 8) and the Zenith is a great addition too.

I was wondering that too. Remember, Google is your friend! http://www.orientalwatchsite.com/for...php?f=1&t=4148

[zenmonk]

The Seiko Automatic is a beaut. Not mad on the Zenith tbh!

[Neil.C]

Very nice and varied buys Derek.

Good to see you back in business. :D

[Flink]

The El Primo with Rainbow dial is gorgeous - especially on that black leather strap with red stitching.

[JHM]

May I congratulate you on your excellent and distinctive taste? The Zenith Rainbow is one of my all time favourites, the retro digital Seiko is extremly cool, a full lume dial should be in every collection and I just love the Seiko SARB's (owning the 001, the 003 and the 005 version):



Have fun with these beautys!

all the best

Jan

[Dave E]

Looks like a cracking start to the year to me :)

[chris2982]

[Daddelvirks]

Great pieces, a good start for 2010 I´d say.
Those Seiko´s are great value for money.

Cheers,

Daddel.

[Manxdiver]

Love the Seiko digital. Did you get this in the UK or from Japan ?

[melhick]

No from the UK, eBay in fact, a little pricey but when you take account of import tax, not too bad.

I agree, modern one's look like their on steroids :lol:

[Captain Morgan]

you've done well for a week, I hope the rest of 2010 isn't a new watch free zone....

I do like the Zenith and those Fortis's are growing on me

[Aufa]

I like fortis a lot. I have one too(with the black dial). never disappointed with Fortis. (Although I also like Zenith. It really looks like tool watch)

[Jonny Boy]

Love the Fortis, one day it will be mine..oh yes, it will be mine.... :D
