I like the 4 o'clock stem and case style

The dial is useful for me and I can also read it

I happen to prefer an orange minute hand

Not currently being into shiny
I like the blasted finish

If I could find a stock watch with those features I would consider

I'm so happy to be used for your entertainment :-)

Talk about good timing.


773 arrived today...

and so did the domed sapphire crystal I ordered.


That crystal was ordered for the 775; I didn't realize I would add a 773, too. :shifty:


Duarte let me buy one of the crystals he has.


Sending him two watches tomorrow for the crystal swap.

That's a home-made strap using Toxicnato hardware and tan colored leather.

I'm three days into owning the 777 - I have to say, even without the bracelet it's a ton of watch for the money. I can't seem to find a criticism.

Can't wait to put it on a NATO.

Just ordered a 777 from Creation Watches. It should be here the beginning of next week. :rock:

Now I'll have to look at getting a domed sapphire with AR installed. I also will probably get a SEL Super Oyster bracelet from StrapCode. I see they have started making bracelets specifically for the SRP watches.

Very fast. I ordered from them recently, placing the order Friday night, and the watch was here Monday morning. And that's not unusual. I've ordered most of my lower end Seikos from them, and it's always 2-3 days.

I'm tempted by one of the $265 779s on eBay. Shipping takes forever though.
