Mungler Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I bought a Seiko 5 off the Bay for the eldest - I just went with the one that had the most feedback for flogging watches - there's a couple that have thousands of positive feedback and flogging watches (not DVDs and computer cables which is how people get a moody account looking legit). The watches are priced the same +\- £20. If you're undecided check out any Seiko 5 sports watch - they are mega well built and there's one that's a Rolex Pepsi copy that looks the nuts.

Oxon T Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Ive got a seiko 5 and it is great for the money. I do lust after a Rolex GMT II or a vintage Omega Seamaster though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 The eldest has plumbed for the one on the right - he hasn't got it yet, it's the carrot being waived pending sats results and end of term report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Word of warning some Seiko 5 auto watches cannot be manually wound and have to be worn continuously or used with a watch winder. It can be a pain as you only find out when you put them on in the morning and realise they have to be re-set. Why 5 ? well its something every budding collector soon learns.. The watch has five key attributes : 1. Automatic winding 2. Day/date displayed in a single window 3. Water resistance 4. Recessed crown at the 4 o’clock position 5. Durable case and bracelet Edited April 29, 2015 by Fisherman Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I'm a big fan of Seiko watches...this is the one I currently wear for work...its the only watch I currently own which is a quartz...the other 50 odd being mechanical movements. I bought it on Japanese ebay for 3750 JP yen including postage or about £25 quid at the time, with the help from a Japanese speaking colleague who has also got me significantly reduced Subaru spares similarly. It was on sale in the UK at about 10 times this at the time ( excuse the pun) but wasn't produced for very long because the silver hands are quite difficult to distinguish in poor light.
