Some vintage Seiko loveliness, just arrived from the land of the rising sun

That's a really thoughtful gesture Rich. Kudos to you mate

I love a good small seconds dial, and the light with the engraved numerals catches in an intriguing manner. IMG_2053.jpeg IMG_2057.jpeg IMG_2059.jpeg Congrats on a very lovely watch. These are pretty much perfect imo. By using the newer Sellita movement, they have the small seconds in a much better...

Trying the Masterpiece FHF29 out on some different straps

There's a big, pointy tower in there somewhere. Didn't really need to set the GMT, but then why not ...

Congrats Steve on a very fine addition! Given the RRP paid, bought for all the right reasons too

I have nothing to add to the Rolex element unfortunately, but if interested in a vintage watch, I see nothing wrong the idea of a birth year watch. As long the right watch can be found, I'd say it makes much more sense than some random year. I've owned this NOS Longines quartz from 1984 for quite so...

Lovely, lovely, lovely! And keeping excellent time.

All smiles here ...

I’m very new to all of this—can someone explain what the 2025 update to the Bel Canto actually means? In *Loupe 34*, it says: *'We’ll place the balance wheel in a far more prominent position.'* Is this purely a technical improvement with no visible change? Or will it be placed in a way that makes i...
