Owning a nice watch

[Deleted member 77198]

Pep's got something like that, but tasteful, obviously ;-)

Pep’s a proper watch man, he’s got loads.

Pep has a great collection, his Richard Mille & Patek alone are worth well over £1m

Grabbed myself a Seiko 5 GMT this past Christmas. I did the black face with black/grey bezel (shown), as opposed to the blue face with black/blue or orange face with the black/orange bezel.

To me, it looks a treat and when I have tested it, it has been accurate within a few seconds per day. If I don’t wear it for 24 hrs, I wind it 40 times to keep good time. However, I often hack it to my iPhone clock if I’m about to wear it for the day or a trip.

Lume is good, but not as bright as I’d hoped with extended wear.

Crown is smooth and accurate for precise time setting, and even though not a screw down, it has sufficient water resistance for anything I would use it.

Very happy with it as a daily wear timepiece, as it’s very versatile…casual cool but dressy enough when suited and booted.

Unsure whether I will keep the original, and apparently much loved, Jubilee bracelet, as I prefer the Oyster style bracelet.

Seiko make some brilliant watches in this price bracket. They’re bulletproof and will last a lifetime. Can’t really fault them

I schlepped over to the Oxfam shop it was in at lunch and gave it a good inspect.
No damage, all working (though can't be 100% on the internals).
I guess a battery change will be needed at some stage.
Lass who worked there agreed that it looked like it was barely worn.

Receipt and manual and box all in (purchased 2017).
Not bad for £150 and it's my preferred style.
It's here on Chrono24 for £700+

Will pack it away till my birthday at the weekend.
Not the best photo but you get the gist (you can see the knitted Oxfam hummus socks in the background)....

Wouldn't say that at all. There are better brands than Rolex and Omega out there. Bloody expensive mind!

I love my Omega Seamaster Automatic from c1998 and nothing I’ve seen since is better -full stop -nothing

Like his cardies, you mean?

He sometimes looks like he's bought one from a jumble sale.

A lot of the designs around this type of Divers Watch -including from Omega themselves -have clearly been designed with this Classic in mind (says he Smug as f**k cos I’ve got one!)

Aye. Fashion fucked.

 

[BLS]

Yes - I will do.
I can’t find a great deal of info on them but it does look like a lovely piece for the price.

I’ll have a good look over for damage first & keep you updated.

Thanks!

No worries mate
