Blue? Grey? Black? Which is the best dial colour?

Which dial colour should I go for? It's so tricky when they all have their pros and cons, but also when they all look so good. I'm very much keen to ask for a Seiko 5 SRPE watch for Christmas, but I'v...

Cheers pal, much appreciated. Yeah I can afford it, but it’s just there’s options from Vostok that are also really cool and a bit cheaper

As a 16 year old new to watch collecting, I'd be intrigued to see your pt2 and pt3. I'm considering going for a Seiko SRPE53 which will be around £180. I am a working man, receiving around £60 a week, currently dailying a Casio MQ241E. As a first watch, I'm wondering whether to wait and go for something a bit cheaper or whether to go for it. As I've only been interested in this hobby for a couple of months, I don't want to splash out immediately. Maybe a cheaper watch would be a go to. Let me know!

Best Edifice timepiece I’ve seen! 😁

Ah interesting! 

commented on Service or Replace? ·

That's a really interesting view. So replace and then use the old watch as something to experiment on. That's a cool idea! I guess it depends on how much sentimental value it has to you or the meaning of the watch to you.

commented on Best watch under £200? The SRPE51? ·

Ah ok! I will have to double check over any import charges but that’s a cool suggestion. Quite unique as well… thanks man! 😁

commented on Best watch under £200? The SRPE51? ·

Ooo I like the look of the first one. They look like good value watches. I noticed the first suggestion is on sale right now, but I’m in the UK. The conversion and shipping will surely not justify the watch?
