Definitely looked up the phrase 'modus operandi'. Yeah fair enough, but it just dilutes all of their milestones and decent pieces for me. Too much noise.
They don’t care if you bought one thinking it would be an exclusive.
Puts me right off to be honest. Not saying I'm super keen on the tsunami of limited editions by any company, just more the fact they don't care to really honour it. Doesn't make sense when they're always so detailed and descriptive about their process, finishing and story behind the watch.
A shame, as I love Japan.
Was very odd going into BIC Camera and seeing £5000 Grand Seiko's lobbed in a glass cabinet next to suitcases and workout gear though. Kinda killed the whole ethos for me.

Looks wicked! I actually was referring to the colour of the lume when not illuminated. The one I tried, the hands had slightly different colouring to the numerals but this looks great!
-
Don't you think they've gone all Presage though? Takes away all the refinement for me. Think they have way more misses than hits, need to slow down a little.
-
You tried the green on? Preferred the faux one myself, green didn't have much depth to it for me, was a bit flat.
Interested to here your take on the lume @bur70n_ as I found the colour on the hands differed to the colour on the markers.

Should have clicked next page!

Big David Beckham fans at work?

Love a Reverso! Ernest Jones started stocking them, Richemont replaced Cartier with them instead.

I purchased this from online a long while back as I liked the design but found the lugs too long, unfortunately seems to be the case with quite a few Longines models. The spring bar holes are way further in than on most watches and only accentuated the lug length for me. Otherwise I liked the watch. As that was a few years ago the price has increased quite a bit since then.

Fuck, Crawley that bad?? Been there a few years back as have good friends in Horsham.

You must not have seen very many ugly watches

Glad you're enjoying it!

The market is way down on what grey market dealers were getting last year. Brand new 2023 went only £1000 over RRP from a well respected watch shop in Lymington.
Well a little bit more than I remember, £1,300 over but still a fair amount down than a year or so ago. -
Oh okay, was told different, thanks for the info 👍🏻
@coventry_eagle apologies on that!
-
The low and the mid stems are the same, it's just the flat or mid bars that make the height difference. The the H has a longer stem, I think its 6cm longer than the others.

Anyone looking for a Seiko Cocktail Time?
Worn but well looked after, some very small scratches but great overall. No original box or booklet as I moved recently and I can't find it!
Comes with original strap though.
£200 fair??

Fabergé had a lot to do with popularising guilloché and enameling.
-
Why though, bump it up a tad higher?
-
Oh really! How come?
-
Very nice!

Pretty sure you're after Peter Paid. Does a lot of neon fades with hiphop lyrics and stuff for celebrities.
John Downer also does some really nice, clean, grocery store signs. HIs compositions are great.

Is this the 35mm?

Definitely one of their better models for me but I'm not a major fan of blued hands, well depends on the watch, can get onboard with Cartier.
So I'd personally go for the SBGW231G instead. Out of interest is there a big difference between the two?? Both similar case sizes from what I remember.
Whenever I see them dual signed, it makes me think, (in James Bond voice) it's Seiko, Grand Seiko.
