Re: Incoming

Aside from being such a sturdy and utilitarian design, my experience with MG is that the movement s are tweaked beautifully to keep very very good time. Like 1-2 secs a day. Congrats on that score!

Omega RAF '53 Question

I saw this one for sale at a good price - too good really. Is there anything obviously wrong with it?

Re: New Mühle Glashütte Sportivo

They remind me of the Street Series Seiko made at around $450.

Looking around the site though, I see they are now making the iconic SAR in titanium which is tempting…

Re: A New MKII/Tornek-Rayville Offering

Another thing I don’t understand….. the Seiko movements aren’t very accurate and do seem cheap in a watch approaching a grand. I think a smarter move would be to use the thermo-compensated ETA quartz movement, as used in Marathon products. We’ve seen great seconds-hand alignment in Marathon, CWC, a...

Re: Which Seiko should I keep in my collection

I’ve been wearing Seiko dive watches since 1980, and have a soft spot for all of them. However, the SKX007 is most representative of the history in my opinion. It is the lineal descendant of the 62MAS, 6105, 6309, and the short lived 7002. Inexpensive, tough as nails, sized right, and - using an ove...

A New MKII/Tornek-Rayville Offering

Let me preface this to say I abhor his business practices and I cringe deeply at the fan-boi obsequiousness of his military fantasies. However, I will admit that Bill Yao has come up with a decent watch this time, though sadly called the Blakjak. 42mm, 200M, Seiko 4R36, sapphire, choice of countup o...

Price Check?

I’m a little out of touch on the Doxa markets .

What’s a good price for one of these, as a buyer, in mint condition?

Re: Got scammed

This sucks - I hate thieves. Trying to soften the blow a bit: Lightly carried handmade FARID framelock folder w/ chisel ground 2 1/2" hunter blade and full titanium handles. Opens very stiffly, lockup is tight, tip down clip, very sharp. He sells them for about $250 I think. Send $200 to Paul and I'...
