What watch do you wear?

My lunch break today proved very expensive.

Nice, but why didn't you go no-date? I don't wish to upset you but the cyclops is horrendous.

I am glad you are happy though, that is what counts after all!

Nice. Did you get a discount?

 

[J-FRO]

Maybe we'll all be able to get discount on Tags soon....

 

[mrk]

That's good to hear, bad about the jobs but good about potential discounts. Maybe my dream of owning a Monaco Chrono can be realised without having to pay the ridiculous price they currently want for one!

 

[J-FRO]

Wouldn't mind a carerra myself, some of those can look quite nice. Of course though, shame about the jobs

Thanks all

Personally I prefer the date over no-date, plus I'm useless when it comes to remembering what the date is, so it serves a useful purpose to me lol. Everyone has their own preference

Nice. Did you get a discount?

Thanks. The original plan was to get it brand new from a store in Guernsey (shorter waiting list than UK) but that fell through and I couldn't really be bothered with the huge journey, so ended up getting it from Watchfinder and had it sent to their Royal Exchange boutique which is very close to where I work. It is 1 month old and was up for £5450, I paid £5350, which I was happy with. UK retail is £5700.

Lume pics please

Your wish is my command!

Got a Seiko 5 for my birthday Tried it on when it arrived and the strap is a bit too small (only 1 hole spare) any recommendations on straps that fit the seiko 5?

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

I think they are 20mm, so any 20mm strap should be fine.
You just need to whip out the end-links (if it has them) to get to the standard arms for a standard strap.
I would look at Hirsch straps, I have one on my Skyhawk, and its lasted very well, and looks fantastic

It depends which Seiko 5 it is. The SNK803 I've just ordered is 18mm.

 

[TwsT]

it is 18mm snk802 I just wondered if there is any good shops or recommended options.

Or do I just go take a look in my local jewellers see what's what.

 

[mrk]

What kind of strap do you like to put on? The options are almost limitless so narowing it down helps recommending a store.

Crown and Buckle do some very high quality cow hide straps, http://www.gnomonwatches.com do some good quality Nato and alternative starps,

Awesome looking Sub !!

 

[TwsT]

thanks mrk I'm not sure

I don't mind the fabric style it came with but i'm not opposed to a more traditional style leather, I am not a fan of the metal link straps however.

This is where I got my replacement strap from...
