I’ve heard good reports on the Ratio, not succumbed yet…
Today another Submariner style Seiko mod with NH35 movement and “Starbucks” style, picked up for only £40 secondhand - probably worth twice that now just for the movement alone - they’ve gone through the roof! Had been thinking of having a go at doing my own build, but that’s a completely new (potentially expensive!) rabbit hole!

Wow - that's adventurous of you! :eek: Do you have any experience of watchmaking?Quote:

I wear this one mostly.
Simple and easy to read. ST3601 mechanical movement in a 44mm case with a Type-A flieger dial. I dismantled it and changed the H/M hands for a set of Sinn-alike hands I got from a chap on Ali. The lume is immense.
I can read it without my reading glasses on. :)

Ah, that's my kind of watch Roy - I can afford to keep those running :)Quote:

(BTW - did I spot you on a watch forum a while back??? Can't be many people called Filterlab? :D )
I only have one G-Shock and an analogue Casio - they have just brought out a really cheap analogue I like - will try and find a pic.
Yep indeed. I've been on The Watch Forum and TZUK for many moons - for as long as this place has been around. :)Quote:
