If you tend not to wear it, they make good money. Would you consider selling it?
Personally I would prefer a Planet Ocean and certainly a polar Explorer II too
GMT Master II (in any flavour) has never done anything for me
Out of interest, what size is your wrist? I'd say very similar to mine (7.5")?
I dont think I'd sell it. I have it a few years and bought it at a good price just as they started rising in money. I know I'd be on a winner if I sold it now.
I do have a goo for a VC Overseas or BP Fifty Fathoms so maybe I'd let a few bits go if I seen either at the right price.
Wrist size is 6 3/4 inches / 17cm.0 -
Hi,
I picked this up from Japan,a chunk of 70s funk. These were marketed to the younger hip Japanese and world market, and has unique style, there are several advan models all are far from conservative, assymetric cases, facets on the crystals.
This particular one caught my eye as it's near NOS condition, it's running at +12 seconds a day. It has a quickset day and date feature I'm impressed by. You do either a short sharp or a long press on crown, and somehow mechanically it discriminates the two, and advances the date on short presses and the date on a long press.
It has an orange second hand that hacks, but no handwind so it's a seiko shuffle to get it running.
The faceted crystal really plays with the light, but still the dial remains readable. The bracelet is unusual with assymetric links, and thankfully fitted just fine when it arrives. A hard thing to judge is the size of a bracelet, great when the seller measures it and includes it in the listing.

Practicing myself today, learning that its the lighting that makes all the difference, shooting about 100 photos for every one half decent one.

Lads I have one of these seiko kinetic watches that I haven't worn for 3 or 4 years.
I picked it up today and gave it a shake and sure enough it started working again.
I'm thinking of selling it on but I have no idea of it's value.
Can anyone give me a clue as to what it's worth?
Thanks.

This post is going to be a bit cross=threaded.
I was out in Howth today on my bike and on the east pier saw this newly painted mooring bollard that ties with a pic I posted in the 'other hobbies...' thread.
As ever my trusty cycling Casio MRW-200H
Here's a quick link to that original photo of the Victorian Ross & Walpole foundry with the workers and top-hatted foreman in 1900.

That is really cool! Saw a few myself while looking on Yahoo Auctions Japan that had me tempted, didn't know they were also marketed outside Japan.

Just on the recent chat on how to best capture a photo of ones watch.
This may be of some interest for those of us who want to try a bit harder

After leaving my Casio Duro MDV106-1A sit in the watch box to gather dust I took it out today and put it on new blue nato on. I think it gives it a new lease of life!
I need to get the battery changed, but think I will use it as my new "go to" quartz for when I don't have time to set the time and date.
The annoying thing is that the battery change will probably cost me what I paid for the watch!0 -

New to me Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon, original version with Deployant. This is so comfortable, the strap is amazing. Doesn't wear big at all surprisingly although tall enough. Full set, box and papers from 2019. Basically perfect condition, these zirconia cases are virtually scratch proof. I think this will complement my collection as its very different....I am beginning to think I like chronos the most. One arty shot and a few on my phone.

This arrived today. Some people say this model wears on the small side (it's 41mm), not sure if I disagree or if I am just getting used to smaller watches these days. Build feels as good as expected, and the strap is very comfortable.

My own Sinn is back a few days now.
I'm still trying to source a reasonably priced black datewheel
I got my own returned back to me along with the damaged GMT gear and I'm surprised it ever ran at all.
That said, I'm happy with the Skeletonized hands and I'm hoping that the bezel I am currently baking paint onto
Will round out the "new" look of this watch.
I'll add a pic with the modified bezel as soon as I decide I can live with it

Right, just in case anyone gets the bright idea to add some lume to their bezel and bake it on...
It...
Ahhhm, it doesn't work.
No real harm done, but the lume I'm using at least went a really off caramel colour.
So that has been picked off with a toothpick
And new paint applied, sloppily to see how my idea might pan out.
I like it!
Now to clean up my mess and patiently paint the bezel, let it dry naturally and reinstall it.
I am my own worst enemy when it comes to rushing things, but this has/will turn out grand

My experimental attempt to lume the 1st 15 minute section of the bezel has been a failure
But!
Like all the best failures, I've learned quite a bit
The premixed lume I have, is fine for dial and hand but not at all suitable for anything external or tactile.
Baking it!? Don't :pac:
Turns it into miserable caramel shíte and it is far too gummy for easy recessed application.
I think the best option might be a matte white enamel with luminous powder added rather than the syringe of eBay shíte I have.
This morning was spent with a toothpick and razor removing the failed experiment.
I think I've inflicted enough design blasphemy upon this warhorse for a while and it'll stay as is until at least after Xmas when I hope to be able to return to a black datewheel.
That said, the white is kinda growing on me
