The story itself is no less fascinating. I'll post on Wednesday. Best Tyler

I never heard that saying but I'll take your words for it. HAGWE Tyler

i have been thinking about it, but in the absense of seeing one in the flesh, i am hesistant. best, Horo

That's a piece of art! glad you recovered it! Matt

The Benzinger is a really photogenic watch. Indeed the universe was generous to me at the time. Regards Tyler

Hi Horo, your Journe Burger is hard to watch for all of us, who long for just one of them . Your pic has a touch of decadence, hasn´t it? Nevertheless - sort of contrast to your opening pic - I dare to show my first Seiko which arrived this week from Toky...  

i wear seiko 5s from time to time. they are such good fun and value play. cheers, Horo

... i believe .. it has the 6R15 movement ... isn't that a step higher/better? Filip

I was just making a point of the value proposition that is a Seiko. Best Horo

I just re-read my former answer and it sounded like me being a frustrated forum member trying to teach you something. Though i must admit my seiko 5 crasched too early so about quality i'm not yet really convinced. Bim

Guess I wasn't writing expressively anyway. Cheers, Horo

with Sexy Curves :0)) Congratulations. wear it in Good Health. ony

Funny thing, but this really is my first non-European watch ! I was always interested in Seiko due to many positive reports about the Seiko 5 and the GS of course. Best, anaesdoc

for the price we pay. i am sure you will not be disappointed. congrats again. best, Horo

Cheers

This delayed the arrival of my watch by 4 days, which is not that much if you realize that it travelled all the way from Japan, but a lot if you know the watch to be "next door". Will you please let us participate in your latest timepiece, Tony? Best, ana... 

i'll let you know WHEN i pull the Trigger :0))) but most likely i'll Purchase it from overseas (while Travelling) and Bring it back with me to the States. Cheers

Being classic and practical - who would not care to be like that ? Kind regards, anaesdoc P.S. Narrow miss on the GP alarm this week :-(

. . . irresistible! . . ....

Suits you well! Best and a good weekend, Andreas

if you commend my moderate watches and to know what marvels your own collection contains! Thanks for that and I think you´re right that this watch goes well with my other watches. One´s taste cannot be denied . Kind regards, anaesdoc

...We all hear the praises for Grand Seiko, but you don't have to go to that extent to get a quality Seiko. Aside from the display back, it holds true to what they were doing in 1971. This is my King Seiko...  

Hi mrsnak, you are right: Seiko at least in part keeps their heritage much better than Omega does in my opinion: affordable, moderately sized qualitiy watches without much ado and PR expenses - this is very appealing to me. I like to support this concept ... 

i've been wearing it for the last 3 days. my Seiko discus 'burger'. HAGWE Graham...  

and whats with the lot on self esteem, hatred, blah blah blah..??? best, Horo...  

thanks matey, i thought an all black watch deserved a lack of colour in the pic. as for self esteem. never had the stuff, dont know what it is. a bit like strange Asian food best G...  

Did you try to eat it Graham ?...  

i think it was affected by the steak burgers i cooked last night...  

Phrenology is a professional joke for me ... always appreciate these crazy heads. Super watch too. HAGWE Andreas

thanks Andreas, i know phrenology is a joke, but the heads are good ornaments and good conversation starters. G

...or should I say Triple-Split? Have a Great Weekend Everyone! C...  

Is there a cool watch you don't own? Impressive black beast, my friend. Best, Nicolas.

And most especially the DSA! Thank you for the kind words, indeed it is quite a beast... C

...but what about the vintage one? Heh... Unsolvable! ;-) C

That DS is awesome. whats behind it? F

both of them Oliver

i am still working towards it....thanks for the great shot. best, Horo

. . . of this . . . . . . photo finish . . .

the impact of that watch is viceral, even on pictures. Awesome! HAGWE Andreas

HAGWE Bill Rolex DRSD...  

Love this Double Evil Red. Best, Nicolas.

The road is two ways as your wrist is also my size. A+ Bill

very clean cut wrist shot mate. and what a double red wonder. i am trying to procure just the simple "single red". HAGWE, Horo

And then some. LOL HAGWE Bill

but my biggest worries are fakes. here in Asia, there are so many reproductions and "bastardized" watches, and i dont know any better and lack the knowledge to distinguish. that is the singular factor that has been hampering me going into vintages. thanks... 

I like the discrete understatement of this watch. Even if someone recognises it as a "Rolex", the double red feature will be missed by most I guess. Enjoy wearing it, anaesdoc

And you need eagle eyes to spot it een at short distance. Thanks Bill

Something our Community would / should develop, don't you think? Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-07-08 09:53:43

Had some problems with my computer yesterday… Did you get them all (5p in total)? Best Blomman

Thanks Blomman. Great to see you again. HAGWE Bill

I have been neglecting my hi beat collection this year, so I finally pulled the trigger on this one. 36000bph, titanium shrouded diver, June 1975 early model correctly with 600 rather than 600m. 51mm!!! and light enough to wear, at least on a cloth strap ...  

... it looks superb on your wrist. stefan

An impressive and original beast. Best, my friend. Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-07-08 07:56:55

been trying to lay my hands on one. a mate might be bringing one back for me this weekend, fingers crossed. thanks for the great shot, best, Horo

it works for Heidi Klum, and it works for you. Nice! HAGWE Andreas

. . . maybe it's time to try on a Railmaster XXL. If you can pull off 51 mm, Ginger, I should be able to pull off 49.2 ;-) . . .

And the fashion license given to women to wear oversize watches, and titanium/bakelite for extra lightness, and the fact that this is a groundbreaking and iconic watch. And it still looks like a tuna can on the wrist., but not like a dinner plate which is... 

too true Art, i want an XXL and i just know it would suit you as the Seiko suits Ginger, which is pretty well. G

. . . to no avail. The case practically overlaps my wrist, and the lugs extend so far beyond that you could fit a pencil in the gap. However, now that I'm acclimated to bund straps, I might give it another go.

i'd wear it on a shell cordovan NATO strap. i already have the 24mm strap waiting for its purchase (if it ever happens). i use it on the Lum-Tec phantom at the moment. my problem is that i keep finding other pieces in the meantime when i should be saving ... 

...with the chiffon evening gown, Ginger??? At 51mm, that's a whole heap of watch for any wrist. It would be fun to see it side by side with your smallest. Enjoy your weekend, Cheers, pplater.

On the right a 1970 ladies Seiko hi beat handwind with ref 1944-0011 onoriginal bracelet - diameter 25-26mm. More suitable for the evening gown. This diver is the professional model designed by Seiko at the request of diving professionals to go over a wet...  

...in the most complimentary way! The photo highlights the versatility of these machines we accumulate, and the variability amongst them within any theme. Thank you for taking the trouble! Cheers, pplater.

Feels somewhat like the beauty and the beast! Or in this case the beast and the beauty… Best Blomman

have a nice weekend, my friend. stefan...

Need to actualize mines, by the way! Best, Nicolas.

but I certainly appreciate the pictures! HAGWE Andreas

A burger in my taste, Stefan! Best Blomman

Nice stack, Stefan. Andrew

. . . cordially, Art...  

may i humbly enquire, how many seamasters do you have in your wonderful collection??!! best, Horo

. . . although I'm mighty tempted to add a modern Aqua Terra . . . . . . to the mix, which includes a few Constellations, a Genève, and a 30T2rg Chronomèter . . ....  

HAGWE! I miss this year books... don't you? Ken...  

would be even better, if both "dates" are calibrated to same date!! best, Horo

... I agree it would have been a bit more interesting shot if they show the same... my excuse is that the book was Lange's Year Book (which was quickly terminated after 3 years) and the "date" on the book was really "year", so they didn't click in my head... 

Lovely photo. Great classic watch. Have a good weekend! Andreas

and no I don´t miss them as I have them all, but would have prefered to keep them coming Oliver
