After hearing about San Martins being mentioned a few times in glowing terms I decided to check them out (I've actually ended up buying two after a very late acceptance of a cheeky offer on ebay). Here's the first, good initial impression of the watch itself but the strap will be getting changed.

I should stay off ebay Grant although I have sold a couple and will be moving some more on now I've discovered that for 72p the post office will collect your parcels (save me a trip to the scummy local sub post office and mixing with the breakfast cider club members who frequent that parade of shops).

That is a large organisation, with members everywhere. Often seen wearing grubby rags and clutching their 80p can of booze whilst wobbling towards unsuspecting members of the public and croaking "giz a fag mate"!

I always loved that Seiko - and all Seikos for that matter. They make some very high quality pieces, even at their budget end.

I have a collection of fifteen or so Seikos that perhaps don't get as much wrist time as they should. First Seiko I bought -
