As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

I'm an avid runner, so I had to pull the trigger on this. Definitely going in my garage. Thanks!!!!

Be aware that this thing is tiny. Might not work for your garage unless you are using it on a work bench or something. I almost bought this for my son's room, but I don't think it's going to work for that.
Thanks, I saw that it was tiny. It'll be on my workbench.

I wasn’t expecting too much but these are very solid watches with good specs and nice straps. I am usually not into chronographs but this one in a gunmetal color case and grey/green dial on rubber strap is pretty amazing value for $150. The regular ones for $100 are very nice as well.
does the second hand have backlash?
I am not seeing any backlash. I remember reading on their website these are Swiss movements so I assume from Rhonda.

Random Rob made a video about this specific Seiko clock. It appears the display may be pretty dark without using the light but still a good deal for $15.

I wouldn't make one for 130 bucks. Movement and pendulum is about 60 bucks on it's own.

I liked it at this price even more! :lol: (but now knowing what a value it is, I would purchase it again in a heartbeat at Ashford's price).

It's going to sit on my desk. I'm sure it'll show up in a lot of watch shots. :lol:

Okay, okay, I'm jumping on the bandwagon, too. It'll be great on my desk, if I don't want to look at the wall clock behind me. Or my computer clock. Or, you know, my friggin wristwatch.

Chatted with James at [mention]riveredgejewelers[/mention]. He says they have the new smooth-bezel Seiko 5KXs in stock, but they aren't on the website yet.

If you call the store and tell them this site sent you, I'm sure you'll get a good deal. :mrgreen:
