Watch lovers?

If this is your wedding list, I'll get you the fruit trees

Something for the dogs to lift their legs on!

What Mr Boag shocked, the fruit trees are a flower, Magnolia early spring flowering on bare stems, very temperamental can take up to 10 years to flower initially, love acid soil will never flower in alkaline soil, can be highly perfumed, pink or white flowers.
Unfortunately I don't know much about watches apart from I'd like a few that cost far too much money that I don't have (and not allowed to spend the money I have on them no matter how much an investment they may be) and I do like your Panerai especially compared to all the recent huge oversized watches including Panerai ones too.

I do like the scent of Magnolia and a spray of Aqua Di Parma Magnolia on top of Aqua Di Parma cologne makes for a very clean smelling Mr B on a night out

Had a quick look last night (seems to have disappeared now?) - Custom mods using parts produced by Jake Bourdeau (Dagaz Watches - http://www.10watches.com/apps/webstore/ )

Look pretty good - The 7S26 movement is a decent reliable base. (Can't hand wind them, though).

You also have the option of buying an SKX007 for £108 (http://www.creationwatches.com/products ... -1167.html), and some parts from Jake B, or yobokies (http://s161.photobucket.com/user/yoboki ... t=3&page=1), and getting a friendly watch-maker to put it together for a true one off.

This guy seems good for Seiko too

Not quite as cheap as creation but no issues with import fees etc etc. Out of all my watches my baby tuna is probably one of my favs

It's this one but there are loads of variations

Thanks folks,
Actually now looking a little more simple (and cheaper) http://www.yorkshirewatches.co.uk/seiko ... -300-p.asp (or http://www.yorkshirewatches.co.uk/seiko ... 1-98-p.asp) not sure what the difference is exc colour of day marker?
Any opinions on the Seiko 7s36 movement?
Other option would be Khaki one and buy a brown leather strap? http://www.yorkshirewatches.co.uk/seiko ... -394-p.asp

Dont know enough about the specific movements but all the seikos ive had have a blue saturday and a red sunday with all other days being black. As such id guess thats not the difference in the ones above.

Edit : the model ending j1 is made in japan, the other is made somewhere cheaper. As such people tend to pay a premium for a j1 but the quality should be the same.

The 7s36 is the 7s26 with a couple of extra jewels (23 vs 21) - Online search suggests it's no more accurate despite this....

Tough, durable movement - Last for years.

Thanks folks, got one on the way. Khaki green face and a leather strap to replace fabric one. Even ordered a budget watch winder to keep it alive as won't necessarily be my daily. Will post pics when it arrives

Nice one considering doing something similar myself as I'm on the lookout for a simple watch with brown leather strap.
I ended up buying a watch winder for my seiko SKX007, I was happy to reset the time as I didn't wear it every day but problem was it lost another 30min first day you wore it which was very annoying so probably a good decision to buy a winder.

[vet111s]

So got my new watch today. Fitted aftermarket strap from eiei watch straps. Really happy with it, thanks for all the advice.

I've got one of those, you'll love it. Looks good on leather. Might need to go strap shopping....

[Stevoraith]

That looks great, especially on that strap.

I don't feel that I have enough time to wear the three watches that I currently have but if I could justify another then something like that Seiko would be top of the list.

3 watches - 7days in a week, get buying !!!
