i love the GS GMT, but i've also fallen in love with the Royal orient
Skeleton and cant afford both. in fact with all the building work going on at home i cant afford anything else until at least April 
the only way i can cope with my addiction withdrawal is to buy unusual straps to put on them.
Seiko Discus. What more can be said?
I hesitated to write anything more about the Seiko Discus Burger as it seems that almost all that needs to be said has already been said. But humor me as I share my thoughts. When I received my Discus, I opened the green box to view a watch that strikingl...
Not yet,
but I expect it to arrive today! The anticipation takes me back to my childhood days when I was waiting at Christmas for the Super Spy Kit from Hasbro! I guess we all have a little boy in us! i'll give a shout out when I receive it! Bob
Bob, just read your post and put it back on as i've not worn it for a week.
i hesitate to teach anyone to suck eggs, but i've found a superb way of winding a watch with small crown. instead of trying to wind with thumb and forefinger, i hold it in my left hand, put my right thumb on bottom lugs, put side of right forefinger under...
Thanks, Graham.
I'll try that. That is such a simple, and GREAT, solution. Here I was, trying to use just my fingerprints, mostly fingernails, to try and grip it. LOL Bob ps Just received my Grand Seiko GMT. Beautiful watch. I'll have to post some pictures of it, soon.

Ahhh, yes.
Those home building projects can sure take a chunk out of Ye Old Watch budget. I redid my kitchen a year ago so now, I am able to pick up a few watches here and there. Saw the Orient line when I was in Japan this past November. Nice watches. And, they've ...

the problem i have Bob, is that i live in the middle of nowhere, am medically retired so dont get a chance to travel on business so 99% of my watches come via the web and mainly the bay. luckily, or perhaps more research than luck, i've only been done ove...
Sorry to hear
about your medical condition, Graham. I get to travel to Japan about once a year, sometimes twice. I love to get things that you can only get IN Japan. Sometimes, though, it is not that easy even when I am in Japan, be it distance or duration of stay, etc...
Bob, Hawaii may be the...
Bob, Hawaii may be the most isolated land mass on earth, but mid wales feels far more isolated. some people in my village have NEVER been to england which is only 2 hours away by car!! LOL Graham
Thanks, SJX.
Me, too! I look forward to my photos! LOL I tried taking some this evening but it didn't come out too well. I'll try again! BTW, it is a beautiful watch. I just love it! What I don't like, though, is the pillow for it. To make the watch fit in the box, it...
I agree
The pillow inside the box isn't the most practical form of storage but I am sure the watch won't be spending too much time in there anyway. :-) - SJX
