Unexpected three watch Soviet collection pickup.
When is a SEIKO not a SEIKO..
Just when I thought I was over the SKX...

I was going to, and then I bought another diver from the Prospex line at the weekend, so I probably won't.
These are a cheap (relative) entry into GMT ownership though. I know it's just a caller GMT movement, but it's a £400 watch, what exactly was expected?
TwoBrokeWatchSnobs did this first, they coined the phrase "watchfast" The idea is that a single watch for a month gives you a finer appreciation of the piece. I did my Christopher Ward Sealander C63 for a month solid. I like the watch, after a month I loved it, and now I won't part with it.
For reference, I currently own 32 watches, they tend to get relatively rotated, some get more wrist time then others.
Yeah it's marked as SEIKO but it's not made by them.
I'd like to add a 6r35 movement to it eventually, they're still expensive though.
Because they never made this case with a peacock dial like this one (that's what it's sold as) I don't feel as bad using a branded dial and a lesser movement. Never seen the point of building a watch you can buy 🤣
thing is, there's quartz, and then there's quartz, if you know what I mean?
When you understand how a good, a good quartz movement can be, you'll inevitably start to appreciate them more.
And when it comes to good quartz, no one does it as well as the Japanese.
I'm building a watch up using an MM200 reduced case at the moment so once that's done this will get some attention 😊
How about the Seiko 7a28 powered RAF Gen 1 chronograph? First quartz chronograph issued to the RAF, used by fast jet navigators. Jeweled, serviceable, super accurate for a tool watch too.
