    This is actually quite a good looking watch. Would be great if one of you could buy it and wear it for a couple of years to see how it looks then.

    Thx

    Hey Roy,

    It's the FUNG2003B. I picked it up from Jomashop.

    Love the style of that watch too.

    Anyone know if you could get similar style in a smaller diameter? Perhaps 38mm?

    Early birthday present to myself. Picked up a great deal from chrono24 brand new and about 850 off retail price in fields.. The 2 week wait killed me though!

    Looks fantastic - mind if I ask what the Chrono24 price was?

    There's a guy near me selling the 2017 version with blue face. Private seller but has main dealer receipt and claims it has never been worn. It's been up at the last six months for 1400€ and shows no sign of moving, I've been mightily tempted by it.

    Paid €1,600 including delivery. When it came it had all protective stickers and hang tags still on.

    Seller on chrono is called Monaco Luxury Watch Dream (I know.. Stupid name but really good prices and service 😂)

    The watch that got me into the hobby, back on the wrist for the first time in years after having the glass replaced for the second time. There's obvious sentimental attachment to it but it is a bit on the small side for my liking.

    Similar story here. I’ve always been into watches but a Seiko 5 was my first automatic and I’ve been hooked since. Currently have 5 automatic watches and itching to buy an expensive one just making sure what I want is what I really want. Currently torn between a Rolex Batman and a Panerai Pam.

    Your Oris is fake. It looks like it is one of the many repainted dials coming from India at the moment. Seiko and Oris seem to be popular brands with the counterfeiters. Did you purchase it from Ebay? Regards.

    No, got it from adverts.

    I think the face has definitely been refurbished as there are some flaws.

    The movement is an FHF movement which is genuine I believe, matches the image attached

    The dial and hands are fake (repainted).
    There is a seller from Portlaoise on Adverts selling lots of these.
    Have a look on Ebay and you will see the same colour variants for sale in India.
    No offence implied. I just don't like to see people pay a premium for a piece, that is really an Indian fake from Ebay sold on at profit in Ireland.
    I am a big fan of Oris, so know what a correct piece looks like.
    I found Seiko and Oris were popular fakes in India when I went through a phase of buying HMT pieces from India you see. The HMT sellers would often sell repainted dial fakes as well.
    Do a search on Ebay.co.uk for: Oris vintage (search price low to high); and you will find lots of fake sellers based in India.
    They are often HMT's with repainted dials. Regards.

    Of all the SNXS series, the silver and blue dials are my favourite. I owned a 77 blue myself but found the 37mm case just too small for me.
    I fitted a solid link bracelet to mine. Perfect profile on the end links for the case, and screw links at a bargain price. Much better than the original folded bracelet Seiko use. Gives the SNXS a vintage Rolex 15200 bracelet look. I can't post a link, but search on Amazon for: 15200 19mm bracelet and you will find it. Regards.

    The Steinhart Kermit is a lovely piece. Wear it in good health.
    I have seen a modded one with the cyclops removed and it looked even better.
    I was thinking of buying one and putting it on their jubilee bracelet (used on the Pepsi GMT) for something different.

    It is a lovely piece, but I'm not really wearing mine much. If you're interested in buying it, let me know. I can send you some pics or post up here.

    Thanks for the offer. But the straight lugs have put me off. I prefer the fit of a Submariner case where the lugs curve around the wrist more. I also like the fit of the SRP773 Turtle, and SKX007 respectively. Regards.

    Cheers, I haven't spent much time with it yet, It's a Dan Henry 1964 and for 250 quid, you cant go wrong, They wont ship direct to Ireland due to too many going missing with An Post, so it needs to be a Parcel Motel/Parcel Wizard job.

    Mine arrived this morning, I cant comment too much on it just yet, but it really is a lovely piece. it looks great on my 6.75 inch wrist. I don't feel its much smaller than my SKX007. The hands are slightly harder to read than I would have thought on the grey model. and i think I'll change the stock strap to something more substantial or maybe a racing strap, just need to find the right colour. I haven't tried the bracelet but i don't think i will to be honest, for me it's made to be on a strap.

    Both on Barton quick release silicone straps.
    The silicone strap makes the Sumo much more wearable, it's so much more comfortable.

    I don't know if you like Oyster bracelets? But if you do, check out this Rolex 15200 style one. I had it on my SNXS77, and the end links fit the Seiko 5 case perfectly. Its solid link, with screw pins, so much better than the folded link bracelet that comes on the SNXS.

    For £20 you can't go wrong, screw pins too. Think I'll be offering one if them. Cheers

    The quality is very good for the price. OK its not a Strapcode, but the screw pins and solid links are definitely better than the stock Seiko bracelet.
    The fit is perfect on the case and lugs, so I think it must have been made for the Seiko 5 range.
    You can get around the "does not post to Ireland" on Amazon.co.uk by using Parcelmotel or Addresspal. Even adding 4 Euro to the price its still a good deal.
    A word of advice though, heat up the screws with a lighter or blowtorch before undoing them, as the white threadlock is quite strong. This saves chewing the screw heads. I found a 1.6mm screwdriver fits them well.

    No offence implied, I prefer to keep that private. But what I can tell you is over the years, I have progressively less pieces and moved up to higher tiers.
    My thinking being, less is more. I prefer quality over quantity. Also sometimes its not a case of being limited by means to purchase a grail piece, its just a case of having to wait for one to be allocated. For example I wanted a specific Calatrava but couldn't find it in stock at any of the Patek Philippe AD's within a reasonable travelling distance.

    A more off the radar name Yema from France was mentioned on another thread hereabouts and funny enough I'm wearing mine today.

    476539.jpg

    80's Yema Superman, the last version made by the company before it went wallop. Seiko quartz movement, with tritium lume, rated to "999 feet". Though a French company they often printed the rating in feet rather than metres even within France. The bit near the crown(screw down) is a Yema patented clamp that holds the bezel securely. If you buy a vintage one be very sure to get said clamp as they're like rocking horse poo to find. Time was you could pick any version Superman up for under a hundred quid, now they've gone nuts. 60's 70's examples can go for 1500 quid, even the later quartz go for 500 odd, sometimes more.

    Thanks for the picture Wibbs. Lovely piece. I like the heritage reissue of it.
    The blue sunburst dial and block indices are really vintage looking.
    I think they are using sapphire for the bezel now, rather than the original bakelite.
    Also the bracelet has solid links and a milled clasp, rather than the Veet folded links of the original.
