That would be wonderful.

What size is this? 40 or 44? I'm thinking of picking up one of the new colors. Blue, of course.
Its the 44....can be found for ~$200. I LOVE the way it wears, style and quality. Only complaint would be the lackluster lume.

Wearing my Double Twelve in an effort to convince myself I don't need another Glycine. I'm not sure it's having the intended effect.

Thanks! Bummer about the lume, but that's not a deal breaker.

Thank you! I own 12 watches and all are Seikos. I've owned other brands, but for whatever reason they get sold.

Put on the Popov leather strap (from the deal posted a month or so back) onto my Minuteman A11.

Image

Like the color, like the smell, but overall not very impressed.
The stitching doesn't look all that clean and the keeper is way too wide.
Also the leather was quick to "crack" when I bent it around my wrist.
Probably worth it for the price, but I won't be a return shopper.

From what he's posted, I would say that [mention]tennesseean_87[/mention] can run circles around these guys.

Thanks! The dial and subdial textures don't photograph well but really stand out in person. They did a lot right with this one, e.g. skeletonized hands. I can't get him to stop looking at pictures of Sdelka tho...seems he developed a bit of a crush.
