What happened to ***Please NO QUOTING PHOTOS*** ?

Wibbs comes around to their house and punches them in the face.

Are the "turtles" all characterised by that metal shroud/back-plate?

It does nothing for me I have to say.

Thats the classic turtle case...its a chunky monkey but at this stage its "iconic". You are right, if they slimmed down the case if would be a better watch. There was a trend thats only dying out now towards big watches, I am so happy watches are getting smaller.

Think the one on the right may be my next (mental )purchase

Love the Grey Dawn - the detail on that dial is class.

To be honest I'm the same about the Turtles. The gilt wouldn't have been my first preference. Got a bargain well below market too good to pass up. STO or STO Great White still on my list.

I don't think quoting photos is an issue if they are hosted elsewhere? I never upload photos to boards..I use ibb image hosting and paste the link on boards

No, it's really annoying in general, especially while viewing on mobile - doesn't matter where it's hosted.

Quoting photos is banned because you have to keep scrolling past the same picture over and over, it moves threads onto next page unnecessarily etc.

If you quote a post with photos just remove the img tags from it. The photo will exist as a link to preserve the context of what you are replying to.

I'm the same. Was going to ask, personal preference aside, what is the attraction of the Turtle was over the Samurai? I may be missing something I had a quick scan on C24 there at prices and the Dawn Grey Turtle is a bit pricier than the Samurai but it's not as nice, imo.

What? Put a pic up? Oh, well if you insist....

I thought quoting was banned as it would take up unnecessary storage for boards?

Seiko SBDX001 ("MM300") today.

I have this about 10 years or so now I think. Imported from Japan (amazing value). It has some wear for sure, but would never consider selling it. I also like to wear it on a rubber strap (isofrane, although you need skinny spring bars to make that sork, or Crafter Blue, which is a bit of a faff with the need to put the clasp on - on balance I prefer the iso)

Anyway still going strong. Still just about my favourite Seiko diver, for all it's flaws.



Quick snap taken indoors - I'm useless at these but at the 6, 7, 8 indices you can see some of the nice finishing details (fine bevelling work), they also did the hands very well, and the date window (brushed steel for the date dial) but my crap pictures don't show this.

Btw - it's different limits for bring goods in without customs duties if you're flying in vs if you're sending stuff in the post (can't remember off the top of my head what the limit is but it's not €29 like for post - €22 but they don't charge if VAT is less than €7 or something so effectively €29). Something in the hundreds I believe for buying as a gift from abroad and bringing back - walk through that green lane with confidence

Here’s my latest watch courtesy of Fitzgeme for correctly guessing his latest purchase would be a JLC.

I’ve worn it all day and have to say I’m really liking it so far. It’s so light I wouldn’t even know it’s on my wrist

Showed this beauty to a guy local to me. He had a very nice blue dialled Globemaster for sale. Very nice watch and right up my street really in terms of style. Not looking for a sideways step though at the moment.

I have worn each of my 3 for sale watches over the last 3 days and I still enjoy them all.....and I suspect they will end up remaining in my collection for the foreseeable future.

Wear your pieces in good health...:pac:

Picked up this Arnie reissue to go along with the turtle. Nice to have some seiko back in the collection. The Arnie is just a mad watch, love it. That strapcode is ordered for the turtle

Serious amount of Seiko's on here, recently I've been rocking smart watches but I'll have to take 1 of my Seiko's out of the box

Everytime I see the prospex re-release I get a twitch, buy it, buy it, buy it...

I already have an ana-digi, I have already spent far too much on watches and I have none I want to move on nor anywhere to hide a watch that will no doubt have me quoting Arnie lines to beat the band :P

What time is it?
Time to geeeet to da Choppa!!!!! :pac:

A lesser spotted white Seamaster, from the late 90's and showing its age a bit.

I'm still sorry I didnt get that Omega off you.

It's the perfect rolex in my opinion, i know in wearing it and anyone who's into watches will recognise it.

That Omega is ****ing lovely though

Not my watches unfortunately. But just came across this picture that I took in the Rolex shop on 5th Avenue in Manhattan 2 years ago. Thought I'd share. It's the only picture I took in there, must mean something?

They're really nice. I've had my eye on this black version.

I love the black Milgauss - Anthony Bourdains last few seasons came back on Netflix last week and it catches my eye every time.

Jude13

I would chip it day 1. Love the Milgauss though.

I am hoovering over a few seiko purchase but since I had my salary slashed just cannot justify it.

btkm8unsl0w5r4

Be careful with those aftermarket PVD coatings, very prone to peeling and chipping, and they devalue the watch a good bit. Better buy a regular OEM one and put it on a Rubber B black strap.

yup I love the green and orange accents, the only thing I don't particularly love is the lightning bolt seconds hand.

In the post this morning, a well worn auto Seiko diver. A bit like myself, old, cheap, with signs of wear but functioning perfectly :pac:

I'm with you, I much prefer OP hands than the Mercedes hands, just would prefer an orange OP seconds hand in the Milgauss :pac:
