I kept the Tudor clasp which seems much better quality than the one supplied on the Uncle Seiko!

Yes the Harrods, its a thing of beauty !!

Cheers. No scratches or marks just yet, but I suppose it will get a few knocks along the way. Its something I don't particularly worry about, as I don't resell my watches, I buy them to wear and keep, so a bit of patina doesn't worry me too much.

I would recommend the diver highly, looks great with the white dial also. Enjoy

No worries, I also own the titanium 007, but admit I prefer the seaweed SM 300.

I absolutely love mine, its almost never been off my wrist since I bought it last month. I just happened to call in at the AD and they had one in stock.

To be honest, I thought I would struggle with the bracelet (not having a taper), but its fine and I've grown to really like it. Turning the bezel isn't the easiest either (compared to say my Grand Seiko Diver or my Black bay), but again that doesn't bother me, as who uses the bezel much?

What stands out is the green dial and bezel, in daylight they look stunning but indoors or in lower light, they almost look black which I like as its very subtle. I also like the 'on the go' adjustment on the clasp, its easily adjusted if your wrist is hot and expanded.

Hope this helps!

I love my GS diver (SBGA229), or if your budget won't stretch, the Captain Willard is a beauty (SPB153J1), on the green strap and green dial.
