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.

Who needs a waffle strap when you have actual waffles? Happy Seiko Saturday!

I wish that watch were 38mm?

During the summer I go to the farmer's market most Saturday mornings. Corn is my weakness.

Farmer's markets are the best! They're like the Windup Watch Fair of fruit and veg.

Wearing the Orient Mako II today on a newly arrived strap from Erika. I always liked the look on the stock bracelet, but never really liked how it felt, so it wasn't getting worn much. Now with the MN strap, it's super comfortable and I love the look. It's like getting a new watch.

I know this isn't technically compliant, but since Orient is a tiny little part of the giant Seiko Holdings, Ltd. keiretsu, I'm going to claim at least partial compliance. ;-)ImageImage

OK. I missed Orient in my acronym. Are there any other Seiko brands that I have missed?

Seiko, Alba, Lorus, Pulsar, Orient, ???

SII and Epson movements would also count.

J Springs too. And I doubt any of us have any Credors but should certainly count.

Good job matching your "scuba" gear to the watch though!

You're really selling me on the EO straps with your two recent postings. Like I said before, GREAT job matching the strap to the watch. Looks incredible.

Double compliance on Seiko Saturday. Had to kill some time while getting new tires for the work car, so what better way than a couple beers! The list was overwhelming, and if I wasn't driving, I could have gotten into some trouble here.
