Nice! Happy 50th!

Thank you , yes I am very pleased indeed . Good boss, but I have now been with him for 20 years and together built the business from one store to 6 ( and 3 pandora stores) and from Longines as our top brand to being one of the most important Rolex accounts in the country not t mention our omega account and 3 Breitling shop in shops . So it is nice to be recognised, and I am known as Mr Omega or mr moonwatch!!

First Tudor I've liked bar the hideous snowflake hand

Lovely watch. Congrats!

Yowser, congratulations you lucky fella. Any later in the year and he could’ve got you a Grand Seiko!

Happy 50th Ejay. Watch looks great.

Thanks guys. Am well made up .
Have given instructions to bring me back any freebies form Grand Seiko meet ( and everyone gives something at Basel) and I will put them up here and auction for forum donations. Or bicycle parts !

Well, you deserve the present then.
You have me pondering your Seamaster - I do like to ponder.

Champagne time - I’ll have a beer to celebrate your 50th too!

Happy 5-0 @ejay2.0 and many happy returns buddy

Just been looking at these. Bracelet looks alright for the money. Definitely prefer the black/grey version with the turquoise triangle on the bezel, but the fonts kill it for me. Too-light Helvetica on the bezel and then Arial on the date wheel >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hey, here's a load of the new Seikos:

There's, er, a bit to unpack.

I don't really understand what that watch is.

The Prospex GMT looks pretty nice though.

I'm just so into this diver. The finishing looks really, really good to me, way above the regular MM300. So I'm guessing… three and a half / four grand? It's got to be nudging GS money.

I like that Zodiac. Glad it's 40 mm instead of the usual dinner plate sizing we see nowadays. Polished centerlinks is something I'd have to get used to :/

Looks cool. Havent heard of them. What's the movement?

Happy 50th @ejay2.0

So I'm guessing… three and a half / four grand? It's got to be nudging GS money.

€5600 apparently, at least for the GMT. Ow.

Only ones that really stand out are these:

New save the ocean dial is lovely. Not a great fan of the samurai though and I feel the dial size of the turtle doesn’t do the dial enough justice.

That hammered GS case is pretty special though. The GS dials with nothing on the bottom half are just too baron. But the hammeeed case on that one makes up for it.

Spot the shark on the STO dial...

That hammered GS has some text on the lower half, but I think it’s gold and the light is reflecting off it and making it disappear. Think it might say spring drive. It has a little star as well but it doesn’t look like the five pointed star they use for the high accuracy quartz models.

Found it

Just by the 8?
