@robbybobby93 explorer is awesome. Patina on the lume…is perfection. All your doing?

[robbybobby93]

@Sage954 not all me ! I actually purchased it from the original owner back in 2022. I believe he said he paid just under $160 with a discount back then.

[Sage954]

I’m guessing you paid a bit more than that.

@robbybobby93 absolute grail watch.

Can anyone recommend a reputable Japanese second-hand watch reseller? I know Jackroad in Tokyo, who are very good.

I will be in Japan next year and hoping to pick up an IWC Portugieser chronograph with a white face and black hands.

Thanks

My wife bought me this Yema Yachtingraff Seconde-Seconde for Christmas and it’s really a neat little watch. It has a step motor powered Seiko chrono for the regatta timer and the action is super snappy. I wont really use the chrono as intended but it will be good for timing coffee and tea brews.
