Man of Honour
Is this watch talk?
I've seen both on the forest unless there is a better place to purchase...
Thanks Mart
There is always here, shipping takes a couple of days. Plenty of choice as well.

Ha it sounds interesting... first time I've heard the phrase Native American meets Tudor!
Yea, as it was just the case, it's not like you butchered a living one, so I think you're forgiven. How come you chose the Tudor as the donor?
I've had both, of the two I'd go with the 007/009 for comfort. Physically they're about the same size, though I did find the Monster crown guard/edge did catch occasionally.I'm looking at the Seiko Monster (Black) or the 007 but I don't want something that will annoy me under my work shirt if it is too high (if you get me)
Anyone got one or the other, care to comment?
Thanks
I've always liked them, I do want to get a complete one at some point too. Also if I can't get a Tudor movement I can use Eta one I already have and swap it out if I see one with the Tudor decoration.
It's a nice little thing, have just got back with it. Very small by today's standards.
OK after a fair amount of reading and looking in a local jewellers I have come up with the 2 below, I'm leaning towards the Orient at the moment, both around the £150 mark

Mainly due to the day showing and the mineral glass ......... Any thoughts?
Thanks
Of those two I prefer the Seiko. From the photos I've seen I feel the standard mako is a much better looking watch than the XL. But that Seiko is a big lump hence its nickname bfk (big freaking kinetic).
Where you planning on buying it in the UK or importing?Also thinking about it I get 2 years warranty with that watch, I tried it on in Ernest Jones yesterday and liked it, was £295 there though

There are plenty of Seiko diver style watches available with day/date if that is a key selling point for you. Have a look here where there are but a few.
That's my worry, that a 34mm will be dwarfed by anything else I have. Do you have a rough wrist shot of the size?

Don't think there's a huge difference. Hardlex still scratches as I've seen Seiko 5s with many scratches while others without a single mark. Same with Mineral.
I'd prefer Sapphire either way for peace of mind![]()
Is there much difference between material mineral and hardlex glass?
I want the watch to be able to take a knock here and there and not scratch if I brush past something ...
Bit of a unknown perhaps?
