But it is quite hilarious.
Not orange enough

Bit of a āmemeā brand Dave - you need to be on their mailing lists and order on the second of release or theyāre gone instantly, subsequently to reappear at a hefty markup on the usual sites.
Have a look at Credor if you want something Japanese, exclusive and beautifully made, though good luck finding a specific website - because typically for Seiko, they completely fail to market their most prestigious brandā¦
Some Credors are absolutely beautiful - and also some are Ā£Ā£Ā£Ā£Ā£Ā£Ā£Ā£Ā£ for a very unsuspecting looking watch
Agreed - if you want a supremely elegant, restrained, and well-made dress watch, theyāre a good choice; but they seem to vary between borderline bland or hideously blinged-up gash. Theyāve also MASSIVELY increased in price in the last few years as Seiko tries to push its entire catalogue uphill to parity with Omega and Rolex.
Was going to post ānot enuf Orinjā but reality has bludgeoned my sarcasm. I bow my head and retreat to tend my wounds. Well played sir. Well played.
Millenary - wow - Iām not sure Iāve ever seen a/the chrono version.
Congratulations. Although the 25 years makes me feel old.
The itch is starting up again and some awful horological nightmare is likely to come home with me soon. So in the modern spirit of oversharing every aspect of our banal lives here are some things Iām looking at for you to comment on and rip the piss out of.
By far the most likely thing for me to spaff my money on, a Ulysse Nardin, marine torpilleur, the only choice is classic white or funky blue.
I like the john wick films and the Bucherer Manero Autodate is rather handsome and frankly pretty classic looking.
I was dropped on my head as a child and probably have brain damage thus the U-Boat Sommerso seems like a good idea.
A Laco Frankfurt GMT. A nice solid watch. Why do I want this?
A Breitling galactic Unitime. Only mildly batshit.
A vague idea of a panerai of some sort as Iām a big ugly lump myself and can identify with them. No idea which one. I like the ones with power reserves but the price for those is a little spicy.
Some sort of integrated bracelet monstrosity, Cartier Santos extra fat, wempe ironwalker, Bvlgari octo solotempo, bellend Ross br05 or some such. I like the idea of one but they are all a bit cunty.
GS Snowflake because that dial.
Opinions?
Abuse?
The UN, a marine watch with Roman numerals for those who captain their own destiny. No, get a fucking grip. Youāll have to buy a canal barge and one of those ridiculous comodore hats to go with it, just donāt.
I thought that was Corum admiral watches with the little flags. Hmm another one to add to the list methinks.
Ta for the suggestion.
Do it.
The Laco is a nice looking watch as well I think.
Had a āfuck it, knock 20% off street price and flog the lotā moment.
Fished out an old photo and started going ānot that, not thatā.
Mk XII, no, Iād like to get that put right one day.
The Panerai is a one-off, but itās all ancient history and I wouldnāt be entirely surprised if the guy who gave it to me wasnāt still with us, so, eh.
Boyās Inge belongs to the wife
Seamaster was by Dadās, so no.
The rest of it, feh, but I donāt think that the 90s are very trendy right now. If only Iād known when they were flogging off those Roger Dubuis at 30% of retail in the early noughties
edit: if I had to pick a great all-rounder from the box it would be the Doppel, but I doubt Iād ever wear it again.
That VC is gorgeous
