They're great watches, I picked one up on sales corner a few years back and its had loads of wrist time.
Unexpected call from local AD - this is lovely

It's one I rather regret moving on.
Very cool.
Like that a lot. Dammit, now I have to keep an eye on SC
@ryanb741 really like the titanium G Shock. I've been tempted by that model too.
Finally sized my SBGP017

I know from a previous thread you were looking at the MRG...i think this is a better option even though it's not cheap.
Fresh from the postman!

Have wanted one since release and love the green

Paid a premium over a cheaper Chrono24 version for peace of mind. Decent 15% discount at Goldsmiths but they rolled over straight away so should have probably gone in harder.

After falling in love back in march (when I took this pic), I had an unexpected but pleasant call from the AD today! #excited!

Thanks, can't wait to go and get it!

Roll on Monday...
This arrived yesterday...I like this mix coming from different brands and watches.
Wanted to try something gold after being so unsure if I could pull it off. Seiko to the rescue again.
Into the AD first thing after getting the call yesterday. Fully blown away by the Z Blue. Needed something dressier and it hits the spot so well for me.

I was very tempted by those, can you give us any more thoughts on how you find it?This arrived yesterday...I like this mix coming from different brands and watches.
It seems like a really lovely mix of modernity, Rolex and Omega Seamaster 300 features, only the dial essay puts me off a little.

I like this as well! Sapphire bezel?
Is it cosc certified?

Yes and yes.
That ginault is really interesting. Might be worth some research, looks really cool.
New ‘Baby’ Tissot Seastar 300m and 36mm:
I really like the look of this. It’s the 9 karat gold and mixed with bronze version isn’t it ?
Sent from my iPhone using TZ-UK mobile app
It is way nicer than my terrible pics show and is 50% gold, something like 38% Bronze and then Palladium and some other metals that mean it doesn't tarnish. I really like the colour and whilst it costs a lot more than a pure bronze watch it also costs less than an 18kt gold watch so works well for me
Nice. How are you getting on with the size? Does it wear smaller than, e.g., a PRS-25 Everest, due to the bezel?New ‘Baby’ Tissot Seastar 300m and 36mm:
Thanks. I’ve owned the baby Speedbird and Dreadnaught and this wears the same as those. I must say it feels rather classy in its understatedness. Only thing I’m unsure of are the PCLs. I always intended brushing them on arrival but remembered one of the SMP range has flat links with brushed and polished faces so I’ll give it a few days.
An impulse purchase, always liked the PRX but never loved it until I saw this green one today. Had to be bought, it's very nice indeed.
I don't think it is COSC certified, they carrie out their own regulation and testing over 6 weeks.
Watch in general is a great quality and wears well...I can imagine that similar to 6 digit Rolex sports in same size, but case isn't bulky...more like 124060, which I have seen only from pictures. I used to own 116710, but it's gone and can't compare side by side. Next to 16622 Yachtmaster it looks visually smaller, but it is probably about dark vs platinum dial and bezel.
Writings on the dial are not so prominent as appears on pictures and IMO it is not so shiny as one may expect from sapphire bezel. I like size of the crown in general, but it may be a bit too tall for some people...may dig into wrist. Also bezel marking may not be perfect match to indices on dial, but there is slight distortion due to sapphire...so hard to tell exactly. Too new to comment timekeeping.
In general really solid piece and despite a lot of elements copied from other watches not a direct copy any of them.

Fantastic pick up, love this.
Some pics showing the true colour of the bronze gold
That is quite lovely - the alloy's colour suits the vintage aesthetic so very well.
Looks great, is this mix of materials less soft and therefore more scratch resistant than gold?Some pics showing the true colour of the bronze gold
It will be less easy to scratch than solid 18ct gold yes
Wasn't keen on the previous versions of the 300, but that is rather nice.
And your photo taking, is coming along quite nicely ;-)
Not a bad day in London yesterday, Blue Pelagos for me and Bronze Blackbay for my mate .

Yo - I recommend Matteo for a customs strap mate.Getting this Electronic Omega back next week, after Omega UK quoted me an open ended quote of £1750 to service it that didn't include a case polish or crystal polish/replacement I politely declined!
Was my late uncles watch so I was determined to get it working,
Bit of searching and a found Keith tilley on herehat so I popped it off to him, upon inspection he deemed it to be in not terrible shape and it's now working as it should and looks great!
Just needs a new strap now.

My first Ball watch arrived yesterday.
40mm
My pal is a huge fan of the brand and the fascination has rubbed off on me.
Wish I'd bought one of these years ago, the quality is superb and certainly gives the big-boys a run for their money
