Watches - another OCD problem

[Simon]

There's a good watch buyers guide in this months British GQ.

I have been absurdly busy of late so have been somewhat quiescent, however I dd find the time to pick this up off the 'bay. It is a JDM Seiko Discus Burger. It is def viable content for this board, given it is rare and weird.

Hope you're all well.

[Giles]

Not my type of thing, but well cool.  & welcome back H….G

So in the top shot, what time is it, about 8:24?

I sorta like it, btw.

[hectic]

Yeah like that.

Its basically impractical but the build/design is sweet.

I can't really afford to indulge my fascination with watches, but I really enjoy wearing my grandfather's vintage 1950s/60s Omega, that he was given as his forty years long service award from work.

Seiko's usual 7S26 movement?

The more I look at it, the more I like it, but I agree, it doesn't seem very practical.

That Seiko Discus Burger is an amazing watch, even though different from what i'm normally into it's design and idea is a great one.  Unfortunately Seiko was given all the credit for the idea except that it was done in the early 90's by Swatch on a watch that looks nearly identical.  Regardless, good buy.

@ Chris - its running a pretty straightforward 6R15 movement but it seems pretty accurate. Getting used to telling the time quickly on it too.

@Kiya - its really growing on me, I've fitted a soft retro rubber strap instead of the OEM one, see here: http://www.timefactors.com/rubber.htm, really suits it.

Panerai 312 fitted with a new strap from Toshi Straps.
A big 'Thankyou' to Hectic for putting me in touch with them.
They were super accommadating, the first strap didn't fit properly so they remade the tail with the holes in a different place, perfect.

nice colour choice, suits it well. How thick is the leather?

[Tripleterror]

It's a crap iPhone picture, the strap is a bit orangier than it looks on picture, Toshi call it 'Caramel'.
Around 4mm thick, serously chunky.
It's gonna take some breaking in.
