Seiko Golgo 13 Limited Edition – SBBN023 | Yeoman's Watch Review

I owned one for 6 months...very shiny and looks good in the wrist. But u will need to baby it as any scratch or scuff on the shiny black surfaces will be very obvious. IMHO this defeats the purpose of buying a tool watch like the Tuna. Better to go for a regular stainless steel one like SBBN017/015, if must have black perhaps the matte black but bigger SBBN013 and SBDX011 may be more expensive but better choices.

been thinking of sumo, tissot visodate, sarb065...end up with this...wifey asks why not consider a non-round face one for one time...

good choice, not so common, good conversation starter.

Thanks for sharing!!!
SBDX011 is really quite ex for a tuna sia... Now got the spring drive tuna rite? Really need to be a tuna fan to spend that amount on one

Where did you get this from? haha seems really nice
Thks :), i got this from Big Time yesterday.

U have successfully denied the bam poison with Seiko.. ;) actually I like this Seiko more.. Hehe.. :D
haha... yah it was love at 1st sight! But this one is more than 3 times the price of the bambino, so the bambi poison is still hard to wear off :D

Nice, how about some wrist shots.
Sure, coming up shortly! :D

my orient star hoot yesterday at Big Time

Those that ordered from creation, you all took FedEx/UPS Express Shipping right?

Delivery time in days or working days?

Hi guys intending to buy a bambino today! Will Bigtime be offering it cheaper than Mustafa? Or is getting the watch online cheapest?

Morning guys,

This is a watch by Rotary with their recent partnership with Chelsea FC. Quartz chronograph. Retail about £299. I've seen it at City Chain also.

Time to beat Norwich? They would be relegated if they can't get at least 4 points and they play Chelsea and Arsenal their last two games. Good luck to them.

Quite many pple there at around 2pm+. But i went again at 5pm+ to get the Seiko, and by then the place is quite empty already.

Oh... i didn't really notice the mm300 or sumo. But it was 1st time i saw the Orient Retrograde... but it looked quite small irl.
