Re: King Seiko Re-issue SCVN001

thanks for sharing, it does look really nice, haven't heard about this until now. i wonder if seiko will eventually ressurect the King Seiko line... could be a tier just under grand seiko and to consolidate with brightz/ananta (and replace those unusual names). edit: did they ever sell this in singa...

Re: SBDX012 MM300?

is there enough demand here for an MO on this?

Re: Sumo or MM300?

Don't have a Sumo. But here's the Shogun (SBDC007) and MM300 together.

Re: [160414 Neu Addn.]- [Steinhart]- Nav.B47 Anniversary Ed.

nice statement watch from steinhart.

Re: Sumo or MM300?

alternative view: what works for the sumo is that it is in a very sweet price/quality range. especially the blumo - one of a kind. interestingly for the price point for the MM300 - i find that you actually have MORE choice and I would not just consider the typical brands like Sinn, Oris and (stretch...
