Horological Meandering

it would have arrived on the friday, but i was out so couldnt pick it up from the post office until yesterday morning. first impressions are as good as the website suggests, a great colour, excellent depth to the dial and very good level of finish. it wea...  

Please post a wrist shot. Congratulations, Nilo

i did one but deleted it in error. Doh! G On 10 Nov 2013 19:02, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* nilomis (registered) on November 10th, 2013 - 11:02 > > *Title: Great news Sir Graham ... >* > > *

It doesn't have "lugs" so the feeling of size is reduced. Huge congrats Graham, nice catch especially with this version! Fx

thanks FX, the colours are just great and different to black or steel. best G On 10 Nov 2013 19:35, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* foversta (registered) on November 10th, 2013 - 11:35 > > *Title: Yes, it wears smaller... ...

a far better pic than mine FX. i'm just sitting in my chair watching a film with subdued lighting so the LX3 hasnt done a bad job.i will set the macro gear and lighting up one day and try better pics to show the depth of the dial components. best G On 10 ... 

At least for me with my underdeveloped wrist. Works for you, for sure. Cheers, Nilo

strangely, it seems to look bigger in the pic than it does on the wrist. i've worn it for 3 days solid and keep forgetting its on. G On 11 Nov 2013 20:29, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* nilomis (registered) on November 11... 

I had several 42mm cased watches that don't fit my wrist and others, bigger, with solid 44mm that dresses fine. I believe that is the lugs format. Cheers, Nilo

yep. having no lugs makes it feel smaller. a clever design. G On 11 Nov 2013 20:51, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* nilomis (registered) on November 11th, 2013 - 12:51 > > *Title: It may be ... >* > > *

a very nice watch for this pricepoint. Congratulations, Dirk

thanks Dirk, a lovely bit of wrist funk for less than a reasonable vintage Omega, of which i have many :) best G On 10 Nov 2013 19:36, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* dedestexhes (registered) on November 10th, 2013 - 11:36... 

... in with your 'unusual displays' theme. The colour palette on this version is nice and square dials are relatively uncommon. I tried one on as well and they are excellent value and well designed. Still too large for me but helped by the integrated stra... 

thanks Andrew, but i have no idea where they got the name. i can only guess they want every day to feel like a friday. best G On 10 Nov 2013 22:49, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* AndrewD (registered) on November 10th, 201... 

. . . which would be party time for working folks? . . .

thats sounds as good a reason as any to me :) best G On 11 Nov 2013 18:37, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* Dr No (registered) on November 11th, 2013 - 10:37 > > *Title: Perhaps a reference to 7:00 PM Friday . . . >* > > *

I find these watches to be quite intriguing. Miyota movements are starting to show up in a wide variety of wonderful timepieces, and yours is a great example of what can be done with these movements in the right hands. The depth of the dial is impressive,... 

thanks Darren, i've always liked unusual watches and this is just right. the Miyota movements are bomb proof and readily available as they are the biggest manufacture of movements in the world(or so i believe). best Graham On 10 Nov 2013 22:55, "www watch... 

To add: The leather strap is comfortable as well. To add further: The wooden box is quite impressive. Regards Ling

thanks, and yes, i forgot about the comfortable leather strap and the box. i meant to take pics of the box etc, but i've been so busy i've not had time. its an excellent low cost box that is big, but not made of piano laquer mahogany. plywood does as good... 

Think you and I are the few who have taken the plunge into this here. Many around were questioning on the "value" of the watch. 1) Is it worth it for the price because it's not a swiss movement but a cheap jap movement 2) How would the resale value be? Bu...  

hi Patrick, i'm not concerned about resale and certainly not concerned about the Miyota movement, bearing in mind that they are a susiduary of Citizen who make excellent movements and have dont for many many years. its about the look, the feel, how you fe... 

thanks Nico. it has reminders of the Freak and touches of MB&F et al, but is very affordable and fun. i doubt you would ever buy one, but think you may ve surprised by the level of finish. best G On 11 Nov 2013 11:07, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:... 

.... This is a well made and designed watch, I also like it a lot although I do not own any yet. Stefan

thanks Stefan, go and bite the bullet, it wont affect your superb vintage collection fund one bit. best G On 11 Nov 2013 11:14, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* Stefan (registered) on November 11th, 2013 - 03:14 > > *Title:... 

Liked it when I saw it - like your version even more.

thanks buddy, i know your a vintage man, but it would suit some of those huge Longines you have. best G On 11 Nov 2013 13:15, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* Ubik (registered) on November 11th, 2013 - 05:15 > > *Title: Coo... 

Didn't know this was on your radar.... look forward to seeing it in the flesh :) Hope your well dude, Andy.

thanks Buddy, its been on the back of my mind since they were first released, but seeing and trying it at Mo's cemented the idea. getting back in contact with an old mate enabled a good discount so i thought, why not. its fun, funky and looks far more tha... 

one at Mo's doo :) Move should be a couple of weeks now....getting bored waiting LOL Looking forward to more pics of this new toy dude..!! See you soon, Moi.
