Halios Seaforth B

Post by Ttf23 »

Woohoo! Anyone else “lucky” enough to have been selected to purchase an expensive watch? :lol:

Can’t wait - I think they look stunning.

In this case there is a degree of truth to it - Halios must be one of very few microbrands where you don’t take an immediate substantial hit on resale value.

Top notch Ttf23; congratulations.

I follow FORaSEC on Facebook and suspected that the Bronze Seaforth would be madly oversubscribed.

Saw this post from them first thing this morning;-

Thanks Guy - I’m really pleased, not least because the orange Seaforth I had last year was sacrificed as part of my C7 Apex purchase.

Photos to follow when it arrives (in about 4 months’ time!)

If I didn't have steel Seaforth, I'd be sorely tempted. I think they are lovely watches, clean and well-balanced.

Actually, I am still tempted...

Well it arrived yesterday and first impressions are very positive.

The green dial is absolutely stunning - black or even midnight blue in some angles and lights and a deep pearlescent green in others.

Supremely comfortable rubber strap, but I prefer the canvas which looks and feels great.

Super quality as always from Halios, beautifully engineered and executed.

Looking forward to it developing a patina.
