I'd sort of fell out of love with my Twin Time, mainly due to rocking a non genuine leather strap and clasp but this setup has re-stoked my interest.

Just need to get a new sapphire glass fitted and I'll be set for another 10 years of faithful ownership.

Nowt wrong with a bit of Tag !

Thank you, whilst the dial looks elegant the case seems very sturdy and has a nice weight to it, great first impressions so far!

The previous watches all being in Ti weren’t for everyone. A lot of buyers wanted heft. I think what works here is the refinement of the case. It is better than the 17.01. Plus the dial has much better definition.

Kinda wish I did pick up one of the 17.06s but timing wasn’t quite right!

My Seaforth Bronze arrived yesterday, my second Halios and I’m really pleased with it. Fits beautifully on the rubber strap that it arrived on!

As you can see from the pictures it comes supplied with a soft leather travel case and three spare straps. Hand-written postcard from Jason was a nice touch too - very happy!!

Picked this up from a forum member last week, case is super sharp and has had a recent service. Only just got round to resizing the bracelet last night. First time owning a 5 digit Polar having previously owned a 6 digit version. The size is absolutely spot on, very happy.

Fantastic acquisition, a friend of mine owns one and whenever I see it, I spend the next few days looking for one!

Wears fantastic and looks super cool.

Gotcha !

Pulled the trigger on this one at the weekend.

Love the heft over the 16610 and also the bezel/dial proportions make it look smaller to the eye.

It may be the one!

I've done something either very brave, or very stupid - but certainly rather exciting: just placed an order for my first ever "premium" G-shock, the MTG-B1000XBD, which has a steel-and-composite case and purports to be less of a beast than the usual MT-G. Time will tell whether it's my sort of thing or not, but I do like the look and the functionality...

I picked up a Tudor GMT at the weekend and my GMT Master II is coming back to me after I decided to not put it up for sale (had sent it to a dealer)....not sure if that counts though!

That's beautiful. Glad to see the numbers have been fixed and the 6 isn't the wrong way wrong anymore. First Ming I'd actually buy. Competition for dressier GS imo.

Ah I didn't realise that had gone, there goes my dibs on the bracelet. Bugger.

Great watch though and that was a super deal, amazed it hung around so long.

Enjoy!

Very nice. The dial and hands look in good shape. Watch out for the radium lume and any dust or particles that might be floating around the dial or movement.

What are the markings on the back?

I think radium is definitely something to think about - I believe mine set off the radiation detector at Terminal 5 once (I've now stopped wearing it). A new crystal should show off the dial to nice effect and, bizarrely, these are typically the highest value GSTP watches and generally of the lowest quality (badly-deteriorating dials and extremely thin chrome-plating) but we're only talking between £150-250.

A nice find.

Nice watch. I have been eyeing this watch and was wondering if this has a screw down crown as it has 100M of WR. How is the size and winding ability if the crown. I have a PRS-25 with the new rivet bracelet arriving Monday and am really looking forward to it. Enjoy your watch.

Thanks for showing the caseback on the JLeC. As Carlton-Browne wrote, a classic GSTP.
