This Seiko SRP641. Since I have it, I love more and more Seiko brand. Great theme, by the way, Best regards, This message has been edited by Grasso on 2015-11-12 13:31:12 ...  

Seikos are most addicting...Just ask the other Mod named "Mike"

. . . as a value proposition. Between these two, I've laid out more for concert tickets, and that includes the custom shark skin straps. Art ...  

So not only a diver in the conventional sense but also one for deep dives into more academic waters?

I'm living in the north of the Patagonia, a very dry place. Dust is everywhere, so a diver watch it's great, no only because dust can't get in the watch, but because you can wash the watch.

Thanks for the explanation - the fit is then even more appropriate.

For me, the only non-Swiss watch I own is coming from the United States, beginning of the 20th century. Have a nice week-end everyone. Cheers, Mark ...  

I like this old cool look indeed. Family watches...

They definately don't make it like they used to...now that was old school craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing, Mike

Indeed it was another kind of decoration. It would need a little cleaning but still looks nice Cheers, Mark

even if we will see more the fact it really needs an overhaul Cheers, Mark

That would be an instant winner

. . . for somewhat less than a year. It was the source of no small amount of pride, almost entirely on account of the spectacular mid-century Hamilton pocket watch movement . . . . . . but sadly I was never able to bond with it. Gone, but not forgotten. ...  

. . . between relatively austere dial and florid script, and especially, the highly polished unremarkable case, just didn't do justice to the exquisite movement. Had the design been more to my tastes, it would've been a keeper. Art

Can understand where you are coming from.

. . . in much the same manner as late '50s American automotive design. There's a certain crassness that imparts character; fine for some, but not on my wrist. Art

And it definitely ensures instant understanding

Americans don't seem to have a high-end watchmaking industry do they? I think they could do as great as any European.

. . . but there are a few practitioners of the art . . . The last American? . . . still toiling in the fields. Best, Art

.

. . . after posting the KM video here on WS! Synchronicity . . .

your actions led me to make sure I saw it in the metal before I made my decision. The feel of the winding made me not purchase the sample I saw. Cheers, Mike

. . . a watch make. Glad you were able to benefit from my experience, Mike. Best, Art

Definitely not Swiss ...  

you are wearing. Original or custom strap? Best, Mike

I put it on the first day the watch arrived to tide me over til I got the bracelet adjusted. Which was never ... :-( and I like this strap so maybe I never will put it on Mike

I do not think I have seen pictures of this one before - goes almost as well with your Elan as the GMT GS

...  

Christopher Ward. The movements, however, are Swiss.

Their recent models with Johannes Jahnke movements are really something. Best, Mike

Nice one, though. I feel they have been getting better and better over the years. What has been your experience with it so far?

Specs say +/- 20/day. My experience is less than a minute off in a week. Pretty good looking and very, very inexpensive.

This is not an "English" watch. I was uninformed. Truly Swiss. My mistake.

There are quite some aspects that are not Swiss, so it still counts.

Seiko SRP385J1 Orient Constellation FDJ02003w0 Seiko SKX009. My son's first mechanical watch. ...  

...  

that stingray strap really makes it though. Best, Mike

The watch is cool to start with - and it seems Saxony is currently leading when it comes to German horology here - but the strap really completes it.

My appreciation is growing and growing for this brand.

. . . here, Nino. I was close to ordering an 04.0 when they were in production; never did, much to my regret. Here's a photo of a friend's example . . . . . . draped on my wrist. Wistfully, Art ...  

I find that the blue of the dial is perfectly emphasized by the bronze of the stature

And was quite impressed - will post some pics tomorrow.

And speak to the \'Sohn\'. Great watch and what a pleasant character. Definitely got much higher up my want to have list!

Do not think these get sold in Europe but it looks really cool. Likewise with the Orient - so very hard to seem them in the flesh. Congratulations on the 'less conventional' members of your collection!

...or is it black?

Is that not the anniversary edition with the inky blue dial?

I was just looking at one of these that\'s for sale. But would it be redundant since I have the black/red version? I sure like the blue/gold combo Mike ...  

Germany this time...starting today, this will be my rotation. The GO Panoinverse...it is about as un-Swiss as it gets in terms of look and feel, although it is Swiss owned. ...  

Thanks for sharing, Mike

And the Habring is - as always - a gem. Let's say something that enlivens every train journey?

A very hypnotic watch for sure

Easier to just show the collage. Besides Lange and Habring, all else is Swiss Hagwe Best Joe ...  

...a slight preference for a specific brand, would you? A truly impressive collection, hat off!

Have a good weekend Best, Mike

ever since he got this knock-off during this Feb cruise, he's on a roll...this year, or his watch bug just grow suddenly??? What have I done? ) He likes mercedes hands, and rotating bezel... His collection this year, likes big watch for his small wrist, C...  

It is nice to see that he is starting early.

Seems like he\'s had a great start already!

What would I choose... hmmmm Maybe the Emil Lange. I love the Zeitwerk too for its movement and very unique hour display. The black dial of the Cabaret is so charming and the Dato is quite an iconic chrono. Congratz! Cheers, Mark

... and the one I picked is probably an all too easy choice for the non-swiss theme - anyway, here we go: Do I regret having sold this one? You bet! Have a great weekend. Henrik ...  

But think of the gain...an empty slot in the box to fill Thanks for sharing, Mike

HAGWE fernando ...  

The sales are usually pretty good! Nice entry, Mike BTW-love your recent photo reports...especially at your daughter's school

)

or should I take a photo of my IKEA wall clock? Nah, I'll skip that.

Warmest, Mike

Miss seeing your contribution but perhaps there are a few examples that will inspire you to pick up a non swiss piece? Cheers, Mike

Hi All A very small Seiko stack - all Japanese Cheers JML ...
