Very nice - but is there a purple square G?

Very nice - but is there a purple square G?

I posted about this seller on TZ-UK. The sales are massively speculative and I personally would not buy from him. He apparently has unlimited access to discontinued Seiko HEQ and Grand Seikos, all at massively inflated prices. Also be wary - he says he's in Japan but the eBay account is in the...

Mine's cleaner (he said modestly) but not going anywhere near eBay for a while!

It depends on the model obviously but we're going to get better longevity and case resilience with a metal case. There are of course arguments to say that a resin cased watch would respond to certain types of shock better than metal, but taking the original 10x10x10 design premise, in the real...

Four plus - but still not enough!

Here's nearly everything, apart from a couple of new entrants and the one that Farcelpost managed to mis-deliver today! We have a TimeFactors PRS-10, my used GW-5000-1JF, a Rolex Submariner 16610, a DW-5000-SL Spike Lee and a G-9000 Mudman. On the back row sit a Seiko SARB033, a DW-5600E, an...
