I'm dragging mrs jtc to the black cat tomorrow night to see a uk band from my teenage days...

Any local recommendations welcome, as we're here til Wednesday afternoon. We did the main tourist sites yesterday and today.

P.S. That's still one on my "would love to own" list!

I've got my Seaforth in tow too. Think it'll get worn tomorrow after being my Toronto watch last week!

Seiko Tuesday.

Started first thing with this for a bit of leaf clearing and apple picking.

Now switched to this.

There was a time when the non CW of the day thread would include a GS most days.

I guess most would like the GS, but I really like this one. Cheap, but still a Seiko. 'Nuff said.

^^^^ The Kinetic gets worn a lot more than the GS. I want to wear the GS more, but rightly or wrongly I view it as less robust for everyday wear than the likes of Rolex/Tudor/Omega, so it gets left in the box.

Interesting that. I assume it's the SD movement you view as less robust, or is it the watch in general?

Owning a quartz GS, I naturally don't have any concerns about the movements robustness. My initial concern was spoiling the zuratsu finishing.
Last year, I was working on a one-off project at work until the small hours with a deadline looming the same morning. Getting tired and forgetting it was on my wrist, I started rummaging around installing parts into a steel cabinet ... ended up getting quite a few marks on it

Initially I was gutted, but now I wear it 90% of the time with no such concerns.

As much as I love it, it is just a watch and I'll send it back to Japan one day for a ninja polish (probably when the £ improves

).
Last time I received a quote for re-finishing (pre-brexit), it was £425 inc. postage ... and that was just the case
