[SRPJ17J] Seiko Presage 'Irish Coffee'

Tried a couple new straps today on this one, left it on this light brown one that looks excellent imo, but they all looked good imo.

EFB-730D-2AV - Still my fave of all the colours in this series

Love the red/blue/silver combo of this one so much, and on a brown matte rally strap it looks so good!

[SKZ025 and SKZ040] Seiko Superior 7s36 Whirlpool and Lumed Dial

Recently got these ones, one was a pawn shop buy - seems to be running really well, holding power reserve and over 8hrs kept perfect time. The other, a private seller. I have 2x more SKZ025 I'd already purchased online, will see how they all compare and go from there with reselling the others, might need to borrow some links for the SKZ025 I keep though lol

Really loving the full lume dial, got it for a little over half what they normally go for. In quite good condition, tiny marks on the crystal and slight gold wear on top of case, and the clasp doesnt lock well now but they'll both be swapped for leather bands that are en route :) Seiko did amazing with these models.

A Pale White Dot - It's Only Smiles

Sorry if I've missed this here before, I did a search and couldn't find it.

But the guitar of 'A Pale White Dot' feels very much like 'It's Only Smiles'. Anybody else feel that way?

I know they use riffs as throwbacks to stuff, but this really feels like It's Only Smiles, especially the opening half of the song.

Really cool :)

[NH8390-20L] Crystal 7 Reissue - still one of my favourite watches in my collection

The C7 reissue was a great release from Citizen, I love it has that original styling in the day frame, and sector dial. This blue dial is also the benchmark blue dial for me, crazy for a watch that can be had on sale for $275 aud at times. Love it on the stock strap as well. This watch is a pretty regular go to for me :)

Happy Friday!!

[AW0082-01A] Eco Drive Classic - Champagne/Ivory and Rose Gold

This one was a last in stock, rather cheap sale watch. Great looking dress watch for the money and reminds me of the Tissot Le Locle. Champagne/Ivory dial looks very nice. And eco drive! Love a good solar watch :)

[BM8560-11XE] Casual wear today :)

One of my wear around the house/yard buys, these things have a deep rehaut/chapter ring and look great from a bit of angle! Lume looks great, but doesn't seem to last too long which is a shame, not terrible but not great either.

[SRPJ17J] Irish Coffee - love the guilloche dial of this Cocktail Time series watch

NWD - adding to my collection of Cocktail Time series, this time with the Irish Coffee. 0.5mm smaller case than most of the series, and a much smaller crown. Very unique guilloche dial that looks incredible!

[NB1060-12L / Silver Leaf] One of my affordable grails acquired

Really hard to photograph, especially without full sun. Even then, this dial is hard to capture in photo how truly amazing the dial is. I'd read some people felt underwhelmed by it once they got it, but it's a special one. Photos dont really capture that the dial is a little bit three dimensional. This will be in the forever collection and it lived up and exceeded my expectations.

Just got this BN0166-01L 'Unite With Blue' Limited Edition in a private sale

Really love it. I also just got the incredible NB1060-12L Silver Leaf, which has been a grail for me for a long time. I really expected the Silver Leaf dial to be my fave, but the FujiFilm bioluminescent ink dial of the BN0166-01L blew me away with how much life it has!

Little more expensive than a usual quartz, which is totally fair for the special nature of the precisionist movement. That smooth second hand is great, and the dial, bracelet and case are really nice.
