If the build quality is anything to go by their sub homage should be quite good -Quote:

Only problem with ordering from the states is what starts off as a good price is inflated by shipping, duties & import fees :(
It's not like the members of my local gentleman's cider appreciation society are homeless, a couple of them live (I suspect illegally) in the maisonettes next door. Think this place has got a revolving door as there are a number of comings and goings throughout the day and night. They appear to laugh in the face of covid but I doubt the virus would go near them, they all look like they need pressure washing.Quote:

I've given myself permission for this sale, as it may be of interest to the folks on this thread...
FS: Job lot of watches - instant collection!
Click for full size pictures.
1. Seiko Dancing Hands. The model is the 6M25-8050 which has the 37mm Grand Seiko style case. Gorgeous dark blue dial with a sunburst finish. Sized for 7.75" no spare links. Works perfectly, mind-bending movement controls on this one, but there are instructions online.
Slight marks, but nothing of note. Pics look worse than real life.

2. Invicta Sub-alike. In gold, barely worn and hardly a mark on it, comes with box and a gold looped black NATO, and a soft black leather strap with a gold buckle. Full bracelet sized for 7.75" plus two spare links. Tags and stickers blah blah. 40mm.

3. Accurist 7216 quartz. This is one of their 'Heritage' models. 42mm quartz with running centre seconds and a chrono. Nice bracelet, again sized for 7.75" plus two links. Double box, the normal stuff. Never worn.

4. Casio Altimeter ana-digi. Backlit display, altimeter, chrono, countdown, calendars, barometer etc etc. What doesn't it do? 53mm including the side sensors but wears smaller. Sized for 7.75" with a bag of bracelet link bits. Manual (you'll need it), display case, box. Cracking for the gym!

5. Seiko titanium quartz. 37mm, very slim and light. Head only in the pictures but I've popped it on a blue lizard skin strap. Been a hard worker this one and it ain't unmarked by any stretch. Also it needs a battery.

6. Some straps. 3x 22mm black straps with various stitching, 2x 26mm thick straps without buckles (no idea where they came from) and a 22mm gold bracelet with straight end links - completely unused.
https://i.ibb.co/x7z87jf/IMG-1816.jpg

Any questions, fire away!

Beautiful! I think it works well on that strap, hard to capture the deep blue sunburst dial in a photo though.
Lovely light piece that.
:D
And this beast got a new gold strap
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...43971a51_h.jpg
:D
I can't even remember why I bought that!
If you're anything like me you would have had a watch in mind to put it on when you ordered it but when it arrived you discovered the watch actually needed a 24mm strap.Quote:

Owes me £18 with a ten year battery, it’s the only watch you’d ever need, of course [emoji6]

I had one of those in a slightly different incarnation. I love the little map. :DQuote:

You could store some phone numbers... and that was about it. Novelty having a separate keyboard though.
Nice looking little cheapie

Quite a nice shade that
Yes, I quite like it.Quote:

pretty darned expensive to me:D
Not compared to some of the wrist wear I’ve owned over the eons.
That’s a strap I put on thinking it was an improvement over the original black one [emoji23]Quote:

My intention was to offer it with both straps, the brown one is a quick release and only owes me £4 or so.Quote:
