My replacement for my old G Shock:
What watch do you wear?

Just an update on this (forgot!), this clasp is really comfortable and just what I needed. I've given the other one I bought away to a member here so it's going to get used at least. The only downside to this clasp though is that the seller advertised and pictured it as brushed on the visible section only but mine came all brushed and not like how the pictures show on the auction.
I actually like the finish of the one I received but had to break out the Autosol tube on the visible section to get it matching the watch casing:
Much better

That's the one I've just bought while mine is away for the service! A beautiful timepiece
Only the best. The plastic is beautifully crafted.
Should have gone to a few more to ask around, because I know for a fact people on watchuseek forums get it done in their local watch jewellers for around £40 or less, and it only takes a day or two. Google it and you will see.
If it was an automatic that needed servicing I could understand... but replacing a quartz batter? No need for £100 and potentially weeks of not having your prize watch!

Fluke, what sort of import tax did you have to pay on the Seiko from creation?
Ta!
Ta!
Just ordered a Steinhart Ocean One Vintage Red http://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/OCEAN-1-VINTAGE-red,191.html
Decided to wait to decide what watch I really want, and this one is great value for money and will look great on my wrist till I decide where my heart really lies. Who knows, I may fall in love with this one too even though it is a homage!

Not ever bought a watch other than Casio, but picked up a Seiko skx007j1 from Creation. Took 4 days to arrive.... just taken rubber strap off and exchanged for NATO fabric..... not bad for £140!!
Nice Watch, where you get the strap from ?

Skagen 956XLTTN. The first watch I've worn for years and a present from my father-in-law. I love its subtle appearance.

Subtle? It's electric blue!
Nice clean face though.

Partly true I'd say, but I've only been involved in the watch business for a short time. Most watches I sell day too day are just fashion pieces rather than lovely feats of engineering.

Yeah
It's no surprise quite a few designer brands use cheap movements, though this doesn't apply only to watches of course!

I'm possibly thinking about temporarily replacing the strap on my Citizen diver's watch because, although the rubber strap is great for when I am diving it gets a bit grimy with day to day work. Any ideas what might look good? I do love how think the current strap does look great with the watch though.

You caught my ninja edit.... I nuked post as it might offend a few. But like you I'm pretty sure it's true

Aye to add to that. I got a Seiko 5 Sport from Creation (100 sheets), no duty.
