Oooh. That's nice ^^^
Maybe something like that when I turn 40... or an ExplorerII.

Gooldie, nice Seiko. I was looking to get my mate something for his 40th in a few months & did think about that very same watch. Wasn't sure how well the coating would last on the bracelet though... so I ordered up a stainless Seiko 'Fathoms' with black/gold dial. Now trying to stop myself from wearing it before his birthday arrives !!
I have no signature.

Standard Fitment for the Aberdeen Oil Services Exec :D

The current Mrs Boag has been notified that the next watch is one of these........... I should really get rid of a few, as I am now liking some less than others

Oh Well.............

DSSDs are a cracking piece of kit - quite something to marvel at when sat down with a critical eye. Residuals have plateaud at about £5.5k - £6k; not something you want to hear if you've paid £7k for one. I thought about it, but I don't have the wrists for it :lol:

Wowsers! Subtle differences depend on what you've gone for - normally arabic numerals and different tachy chapter ring - some have red second hand too.
