New Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military Maxi with high domed hesalite for preorder on Gnomon. Best looking Steinhart yet. Limited to only 300 pieces worldwide. Serial number of watch will be engraved on caseback. Managed to secure the serial number that I wanted #128 . Similar to the prior ltd edition, resale value will be through the roof.

why must i see this after i ordered my seiko

 

[Kusanagi]

not rly sure what paros mean...sorry...but the leather strap is good so far...

but yes, i can confirm plus chop its from China, cause the person actually told me she has no stock on hand, so she will get her supplier in China to ship to SG direct, instead of China -> sweden -> SG...

after that, i jitao sian le, contemplated asking her to cancel all my order too...

-----

but her site does has some unique straps, i kinda like e racing straps..

i like her snake skin straps too, but i have a phobia of snakes so nopes...

i reckon you should buy for her only for uniqueness, but not for quality...

taobao has plenty of them, only if you know how to search

New movement can do handwind and is hackable. Biggest aesthetic difference is the removal of the day pusher. Still mineral glass.
Bezel action is damn solid, zero play, 120 click. May be too stiff for some. But I like it.

 

[AyuReady]

Wow nice. Upgraded movement. The old pusher I quite like haha abit like omega.

The bezel of orient had been better than seiko in similar price range I feel. Personal experience comparing it to the seiko 5 FFF that model. Can't recall the model snk57 or something. That seiko not really centralize and the click not as solid as orient.

Given all the upgrades, did the prices upgrade also?

ytd i went Seiko@Jem to touch the SARW015 for e first time, ok it feels quite heavy, but should be better after changing to leather straps
