It is yobokies. Just read it backwards :-) he has email, advertises on some other fora.
My SKX007 at the Gramvousa island pirates castle (Island of Crete, Greece):
and in the Balos paradise beach (voted in several polls as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Island of Crete, Greece):
Heres my latest Seiko.

The MM looks so good on a big leather (toshi esq) strap. I like to wear them In the shower though. :-(
I keep on saying that I do not need another Seiko diver, and then I look at these...
I love that case shape.Stargate:

Speaking of shape:
So do I :-)
Lovely. :-)Speaking of shape:
So do I :-)
I thought the Stargate has a lovely shape, but what watch is that?
Its a Sumo isn't it?
^^^^^of course it is^^^^^
Think the strap threw me....Doh!
Yes, the first one is the Sumo, the one below the Stargate.
And once again, Sumo:
SBCM023 on TF NATO

Gone, but not forgotten. My biggest mistake since becoming a TZ'er letting go of this one!
This arrived on Friday. Loving it !

Just the one, slightly 'jazzed up' - very comfortable wear !
I've just purchased one of these the SBNN015, what a watch! the bracelet is amazing incredible engineering. I've worn it for four days now and its going to stay on my wrist! Outstanding!!

I really really want one of these... looks lovely!Gone, but not forgotten. My biggest mistake since becoming a TZ'er letting go of this one!
If you need to get rid of one of those 62MAS to fund the projects ...My Seiko dive projects, some day I'll find the time to address them all!
(it's a noticable gap in my collection)
Two of them will be going when they're done so I'll keep you in mind.
Looks great, love it on the Zulu bi-colour.
Wear it well my friend.

What model is that? Like the calendar function!
I have a couple:
Murphy bezel?
Does Murphy make a bezel for the Sumo? As it totally gives the watch a different look.
I wish... but this is no Sumo :-) Look closely... you've kind of got the answer...
SKX case, 6R15 Orange Sumo movement, Murphy bezel, Faded insert, Yobokies Sapphire, SARB signed crown, Maratac NATO

Love these tunas- one is on the radar
H461-5000 dating to 1985 (I think - 5xxxx8 serial number).
I bought this as a donor in case I need a replacement movement for my Pluton. Although the Hirsch leather is nice quality I just don't like it and think it makes the watch look very dated. As an experiment, I put on a spare plain black leather strap I had laying around and, in my opinion at least, has transformed it.
The crystal was quite badly scratched and dulled, so half an hour matting it back on the fine side of a knife block, and then through all the grades I've got of diamond lapping paste, and all but the deepest scratches are gone and the crystal looks nice and shiny again. It's no longer going to sit in a box waiting to be dissected!
Seikomatic, please tell us what model that is in post 581. That is a brilliant photo.
someone sees it as kinda sad face `~ ' sard001

I have always found the 60's Silver Wave a watch that is very pleasing to the eye.. Here is my offering.
My upcoming projects (in transit, sellers pictures):
My UFO:
My Monaco
One of my 2 Presmatics:
6309-7049
This arrived this morning.I have been after a diver for a little while.
Congrats! I have the exact same on my wrist right now. It is one of my favorite watches. Classic, iconic design and real diver at a very reasonable price. IMHO every divers watches collection should have one.
This, today

There are just so many Seiko's that I like the look of that I just can't choose.
I used to think that Seiko's were cheap tat, but have been educated as to the error of my ways by this site and others and now find myself lusting over all sorts from the staple SKX007 to vintage pieces.
I rather like the tuna on a mesh bracelet too.
Where will it end :-)
This thread has made me start pining for my old Shogun. Should never have sold it!
