Uncle Seiko stuff is usually decent quality.I got a half link for my speedmaster a while ago and it’s identical finish to the oem bracelet.
Also got a jubilee bracelet for my Tudor gmt last week from them as well.It works with the original clasp so a nice product overall for less than a €90 and €30 in duties

Since we're talking about marine matters.
Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

Going back to the egg, an hour ago. 😁

Being on Blancpain's email list is rarely an imposition. This time though? They've sent me a mail about what must be one of the nicest green dialled complication watches I've seen since Weir's Patek Calendar.
A combo of both Gregorian & Chinese calendar is very interesting and no doubt a technical masterpiece. Not one I'll be shopping for given it'll be €73k plus but, it's nice to window shop 😁

Today's piece is my first 'good' watch, bought from new in 2002, the TAG Heuer CA1211-1, special edition with the carbon dial and the ETA 251.262, 7- hand chrono movement.
The smallest watch I wear regularly at 37mm, but wears a bit bigger.
A genuine sports watch that I wore doing my PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water licences with, as well as laps in anger around Mondello Park on both two wheels and four, the likes of a ZXR750R and an R8 V10 Plus.
It's low profile, shrouded lugs and neat size means it goes easily under a cuff, or glove.

Just got a certificate in the post this evening to say I passed my maths exam from December 😁
Another step closer to watchmaking school! Should be starting level 2 in February which is the equivalent of the GCSE that will have me ready for the assessment day in August.
Heading to the BHI on Sunday for the quartz course so look out for another long post!😉
Thanks all for the continued support.

After many years messing about with watches, the ‘grail’ finally arrived. The end of the road for me and watches now as you just know when you put ‘the one’ on the wrist. The interest will hopefully never die though. As usual, my pictures don’t do it justice, but for me, it just oozes quality. Legibility is fantastic and wears perfectly for a 40mm. The bracelet is super comfortable and top top quality as you would expect from this manufacturer. It is flawless being honest.

Not taken with my phone for a change. Dusted off my old Panasonic LX 5 with Leica lens(There was an identical Leica branded camera that cost three times the price, cos reasons). Compact point and shoot camera from over ten years ago but with a load of pro features inc. being able to output Raw files you can feck about with. Last of the CCD sensors, so have more of a 'film' quality, though too easy to blow out highlights, so underexposing by a stop is the trick. It's pretty good for colour, but it's a cracker for B&W.
