Latest incoming and just love everything about this watch. So different it’s really refreshing, and this bracelet is the best I’ve had.
Congrats!I am sure you have all seen one of these before but after a long old wait I finally collected this at the AD doorstep this morning.
Still pinching myself after getting a call yesterday afternoon a little earlier than I had been led to believe.

Congrats! Still waiting for the call.Not the usual “experience” but sized and handed over at the Door
Initial thoughts are if I can get the ND to replace the maxi case I certainly will.

Superb timepiece!Bit of a departure for me this but always liked Oris as I believe they represent a quality product combined with decent heritage and VFM. Will probably swap the strap on this on at some point but the dial colour is amazing to me in the flesh and I couldn’t be happier for the money.
My other incoming this week, the Alpinist SPB199j1 now switched to a grey leather strap
Fantastic daily, perfect size and fairly light on the wrist oh and the killer dial.
Congrats! Love that california dial.
Perfect watch. Unfortunately too big for me. Congrats.Picked this up yesterday. To say I'm thrilled is an understatement.
Lovely watch. Congrats.Fancied a day date, really impressed with it
Wow! Awesome.Fiirst new incoming for a while arrived today.
This lot arrived on the slow boat from Japan this week. One was a little smaller than expected, something must have got lost in translation.
The ana-digi was bought for the working module however it is pristine which will make to difficult to pull it apart. Fortunately I don't need the movement yet so I can leave it be.
When buying an early solar watch that is advertised as junk you really, really hope that it does this when held under a strong light :
The module works so all I need is a new capacitor or rechargeable battery. Happy days.

Snap! I’m not a big fan of the bracelet on mine either, so I ordered the rubber strap option. I also found the Di-Modell Chronissimo, which is a waterproof leather strap that fits the SAR, and has the wings that marry up to the width of the outside of the lugs. Check it out!Been searching for ages for the right strap as an alternative to the bracelet on my SAR and due to the lug shape and configuration it hasn’t been easy.
This arrived a couple of weeks ago a notched SteveO strap and for me is the perfect alternative.

Well done on your find too, looks good!

Thanks good idea on the chronissimo I've got one hiding somewhere. Any photos of yours on the rubber strap and can I ask where you bought it, been thinking about buying one
This little beauty arrived this week. Just a little bit different from the majority of PAMs and a great addition to the collection. Love the domed crystal, negates the 233 shaped space that I had.
To me to start trying different straps from my excessive 24mm collection.

Unfortunately I don’t have it yet, only bought the SAR last week (mightily impressed by it, btw) and ordered the strap and clasp a couple of days ago. It’ll be 2-3 weeks delivery I’m informed. The clasp from the bracelet fits the rubber, but I wanted to keep them both complete.
Purchases made from James Porter & Son in Glasgow’s Argyll Arcade, and cannot praise them highly enough. A really helpful and accommodating independent, who have taken on Muhle, Sinn and Doxa brands, amongst others, with fine displays and selections of each.
That’ll be handy if you have a 20mm Chronissimo kicking about!

Thanks. As I said it is a bit different. I like the look of the pushers on the case, imho it softens the look of the big crown guard. Lovely piece.

This lovely watch from Venturo ( skin-diver ) arrived with me on Friday and I'm very impressed by the quality, plus the retina burning lume!!
Not mine but got to try on my brother's recent acquisition today.

Picked this up on SC. Back on its original bracelet and with a quick buff of the acrylic it looks great.Just love the depth the acrylic adds to the dial
Very similar sized case to the Datejust of the same era.
The lovechild of these 2

Perfect thanks I’ll give them a shout, a bit too far for me to pay a visit but sounds like a great selection at that independent. Would appreciate your view on the rubber strap when you’ve
tried it.
Will do, enjoy the SAR, stay safe and all the best!

Had this model twice last year, sold to fund vacation trip, now, thanks to Nick who answered my WTB, acquired again. Hope this one will stay longer with me.
Lovely on the hunt for one myself at a reasonable price.Had this model twice last year, sold to fund vacation trip, now, thanks to Nick who answered my WTB, acquired again. Hope this one will stay longer with me.
Double acquisition; after weeks in lockdown I think my impulse control has suffered rather.
On the upside, they’re both lovely and I got a decent discount. So, y’know, fair’s fair.
Absolute cracking pair - welcome to the Full Metal Ti club!
I assume that's the Seiko MM200? Also not too bad! How do you find the weight?
I do like that metal bezel on that Seiko.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
That Oris looks fantastic. Enjoy!
Heh. Thanks.
It is indeed the new SPB185. I really like it, the weight is fine, subjectively no better or worse than the MM200, and the reduced diameter is nice. First impressions are pretty damn good, I have to say.
If I were you tonight I'd be watching TV with one on each wrist! Cracking pair.
Really like these myself too.
Lovely looking watch.

I considered it. Then Mrs Cain noticed and said “who do you think you are? Morten bloody Harket?” Which discouraged me. And dates the pair of us terribly, I suppose. Seiko won.
How does it compare with the mm200 generally?
Still fancy a 187 but the mm200 can be had for a good chunk less at the moment
Heh. Thanks.

Is it smaller than the MM200? That is interesting. I thought they were the same size. It looks superb though (must resist, must resist)Heh. Thanks.

I’d be interested to know if these wear smaller than the SPB143 62mas. Even though it’s 42mm vs 40.5.
Would love a side by side if anyone has both?
Yes, they've shaved a couple of mm off the case diameter. The main impact has been to make it "feel" a bit taller than the MM200 but the profile behind the bezel still has a significant under-cut, so it's just as comfortable.Is it smaller than the MM200?

Subjectively, to my eye, this wears bigger than my SPB149. The case and lug shape fits my wrist better, but it looks and feels like a bigger watch. Interestingly, the subjective difference isn't massive, but the MM200 always concealed its size remarkably well, IMO.
Seiko SPB187J1.
Just landed. I like!
I hope to post some additional photos with comparison to other similar Seikos when I get time.
