Where are you guys buying straps from? Online?

Hi Berg Man

This is the best place, always pick priority mail.

2-3 days from Sweden and your stuff is here.

Prices are good and nato and paratrooper straps are good quality.

Rubber straps I get locally from www.lugtolug.co.za

Thanks so much. Are the lu2lug Nato not very nice, or is it just a preference for you?

His straps are good, as good as you will get from CNS.

I buy often from Roelf, his rubber straps are superior to the ones from CNS.

His nato straps are brilliant quality, the only reason I order from CNS is for color variation and also they keep the single pass paratrooper straps.

Roelf does the Marine National which isn’t single pass, I need single pass for my FXD’s with their fixed springbars.

99.9999% of digital watches do nothing for me, but boy this is an exception. As a design detail, if they could have made that small raised bevel around the display flat I would consider it perfect- but that’s just me with a fetish for flush finish faces (and alliteration apparently).

Thats what I love about Hamilton.

Although now Swiss owned under the Swatch group, they have a strong appreciation to their heritage and their American Classics.

The Pulsar was the worlds first digital watch, it was seen as a "computer" when it came out.

They had a solid gold version that cost more than a car, it was worn by people like Nixon and Elvis as well as many other prominent people.

What I like about the PSR, its a 99 % true reissue of the original Pulsar, even down to the bracelet (except for the butterfly clasp)

The Crystal on the original was raised and thick being an LCD screen.

This modern day reissue has a dual LED and LCD screen so you can read the time in sunlight as well. Its actually quite crazy when you have it on the wrist, you cant stop looking at the crystal and its bevels from all the different angles.

The watch was made even more famous when James Bond appeared on the screen with one.

It is very special to my collection especially for the fact that I lusted after one since I was 5 years old

Very, very nice. Quite colourful for an old geezer. I don’t have a collection but I do have a soft spot for Seiko. Once a year or so I accidentally find myself browsing the Grand Seiko website, but have abstained from pulling the trigger (so far)!

My late father bought this for my mom in the 90's.  She's decided that she no longer wants to wear it.  Where would be the best place to take it to have it valued so that we can sell it for her?

Hi All.

What experience do Hubbers have of using Chrono24, good or bad?

I'm just planning at this stage, looking at a Seiko that is not featured on Seiko SA's website (will therefore probably favour a Japanese seller)

How does their delivery work? Is it door-to-door?

Thanks in advance for any feedbank

I recently swapped a mildly damaged forerunner for this. Note, don't spend hours in the sea with a forerunner.

It’s quite solid, I have bought 4 watches from there over the years. 

Also from Japan.

You pay the price and delivery, once it arrives in the country, you get notified by the couriers to pay customs.
