      thanks guys, for the price its accuracy is quite impressive that it only lost 15 sec in 11 days.

        For those of us with a rotation of watches.  How often do you guys have to wear a piece before you consider selling?    Been mulling over the idea of selling my Aqua Terra 8500.  Only gets 1 day or so a week of wear.  Thoughts?

          As soon as I recognise that one of the watches is getting minimal wrist time and there is another piece out there that grabs my attention more, then the out of favour watch generally gets traded.

          What I have learned is to try ( Not always possible ) and take your time over the next purchase to ensure you get it correct, especially for more expensive watches that you view as "keepers".  On cheaper watches I don't really obey this rule and allow myself some trading fun.

          If the thought of flipping the Aqua Terra continue, in my experience there is only one fix, sell it and enjoy choosing the next watch.

          I am sharing a similar thought process at the moment over one of my collection that I find a little underwhelming.

          Good luck for the hunt and have fun!

            That's sort of the problem.  I still really, really like it.  I just went on a tare last year and I REALLY love those watches!

            Not even trying to fund a new acquisition, just thinking it isn't getting the wrist time it should and that I should move on… but I do still love it.

              Sounds like you would be fine sitting on it for now.

              I find that the usage of watches I have to choose from changes quite frequently. The Aqua Terra could feature more prominentlly in your future rotation.

                  I think that strap is excellent. Keep it on there for a while.

                    I'm too fickle and enjoy switching things around.  🙂  Plus changing straps is a lot cheaper than changing watches.

                      Haha, fair enough! Main thing is the watch after all and you've got a real gem there.

                        Hi all,

                        Does anybody know a good Japanese online shop where I can purchase a new Seiko Sarb033?

                        cheers

                          His site is under maintenance but seiya-san @ seiyajapan.com probably can. He has sourced me all kinds of JDMs.

                            Not sure if any of the Rakuten shops ship overseas?

                                    Tudor.  Absolutely no discussion…

                                          Tudor (i had Pam rolexes iwcs) the tudor is the best choice i prob ever did for the quality, wrist presence, heritage, buck etc imo. Of course all of them have a history (some of the famous radiomir were equiped with rolex movements in ww2 for the frogman blowing up the bridges etc) and cases are built extremely nice.
                                          The tudor is my watch to go, for business, for pleasure, for all my activities. I am very very satisfied with the blue black bay

                                          Cheers,
                                          David
