Watches - another OCD problem

[Seul]

Yeah I like the Monster with an orange dial…

@Mega - you dodged this one then: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seiko-SKX007-Custom-Planet-Ocean-UK-Seller-/291113593359?pt=UK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item43c7b8ea0f

I quite like that tbh, but as you pointed out there is a hefty premium on it for the custom parts.

It is a hefty premium and you always have to wonder who the cobbler was and if they knew what they were doing.

Very true, a pretty picture hides a multitude of sins.

Decided to go for a change of pace

[Megatron1505]

I like this a lot, very solid watch for not much money.

[louisbosco]

[Friday]

[Snowy]

Nice Mega, suits you well

@Snowy:

Yup, it's also a big solid lump 

(Got there before Seul  )

[Chris]

Nice watch.  I like the mesh bracelet, too.

[tmg]

Yep, very nice Mega, had me browsing eBay for similar

Also, nice Poljot Chris, wasn't aware of that model, guess it's the Russian Speedy though?

[Anesthetist]

Hey Chris does that have the 3133 movement?

[hectic]

Nice Mega, is the lume nice and bright?

[Chris]

Yeah, I guess it's sort of a Russian Speedmaster; it's a commemorative for the 40th anniversary for Yuri Gagarin's space flight.  I've had it for several years and it was dead stock when I bought it.

And you're right, Ane- 3133 movement.  Well, technically, it's the 31681, but that's just the 3133 with a subdial for 24 hour indication, which I'm sure you knew…

Not massively, apparently that is a flaw with the Mako XL's (read this after purchasing).

[hectic]

hrmph, hope it has not vexed too much.

[Megatron1505]

Nah, it's legible which is all I wanted really. It's a nice, chunky, reliable watch for little cash. I am happy.
