I'm surprised to find Seiko fans here.
My Orange Monster with the rubber band ($100 on ebay) is my favorite watch for weekend activities.
I also spent $400 on the limited edition titanium Seiko 5 200m diver that came out this or last year. It is a bit too large for my tastes, but I really like the design, especially the bracelet.
The 5 movement is pretty accurate on my two watches, and I have all the faith in the world that I can beat the daylights out of a Seiko and it will keep on ticking. Toyota was a good analogy. I own two of them. My reps are more like those Ferrarri kits that fit over a 280Z chassis.
By-Tor: Rush rules! Also, thanks for posting the Tag bracelet tutorial, I used it for a watch I got from Josh. Now my favorite watch.
