Yeah ecodrive will site closer to the wrist but still look as chunky. Looking forward to comparing!

I definitely prefer it's to the datejust 2, would go with the original datejust or 39mm white OP instead of the updated model.
Yes definitely topped movement wise. I do really like the look of the Aqua Terra, maybe one day if I get a good secondhand deal, full price is out of my budget.

Decent to know as it's one of my favourite models. Will give it a whirl.

The Datejust II was discontinued in 2016 lads.

The current Datejusts have a more conventional lever escapement than the AT but they’ve done a lot of work on it, made it asymmetric, which has resulted in efficiency savings so great that it achieves a 70 hour power reserve vs 55 hours on the smaller AT and 60 on the larger one (despite the Omega 8900 having two barrels). The Omega is certified to -4/+6, the Rolex to -2/+2. The coaxial escapement needs less lubrication, sure, but the service interval is still 5-8 years vs 10 years on the Rolex.

Ok, the Omega has a better magnetic resistance rating (they specifically test for it) but the whole Chronergy escapement is amagnetic now including the balance spring and lever. I get the technical achievement of the coaxial escapement but I don’t agree with this supposed superiority of the 8800/8900 over the 3235.

I’ll fuck off now. :)

Fresh back fron Alsal, such a good little shop. £12.50 for a new crown gasket and done in under 12 hours.
Still bearing its scars from my accident, but thats part of its charm. A true beater.

Wow no stay and keep dropping knowledge

You left the dial like that to bother us didn’t you?

The bezel? Me? 😇

When I was in Watch Centre this morning the NOS GMT had the swing tag on the bracelet, it also had a price tag - £14,500.

I emailed them this afternoon to thank them for showing me the three watches, and asked whether they could do anything on the NOS 2007.

Reply - yes, £14,750. Excellent trolling I thought, but did check the site - £14,950. Ok, a £200 discount.

I emailed them back mentioning that the watch had a tag on it saying £14,500, and they replied that they'd honour that price if I bought it in the next 24 hours.

No ed, that is just Seiko's quality control when it comes to bezel alignment (-:

Match @spotter personality I guess.

I’ve got a silver dialled with blue that’s a bit of a bargain at mo ....

I’m a bit of a seiko fan , turtle , samurai, sumo .
And for me the new sumo is excellent with the sapphire and 70 hrs power reserve .
I’ve got the green but just ordered the black one that has just been released out in Japan and is on pre order here , with a discount if you’re quick .
I missed out on a black turtle , but this will make up for it

This has been mentioned before Ltd edish
7000 WW

That makes it even better!
