  5. Ya...those Seikos can draw some attention It's hard to withstand the Seiko virus but at least on don't has to think about flaws
  6. I'd say don't go the route he wants you to go... Buy whatever watch you like for 300GBP, use some more GBP to have a nice weekend with your wife (or whatever you like) and record her moaning your name. Send a picture of the watch, the voice record and a picture of the girl grinning like a Cheshire cat and tell him what you paid for it...priceless I'd say

  8. As some of you already know...my WIS life started in April 2007. Before this date I always had been a watch guy but never a WIS. Back in these days I hadn't been that much into watches. To be honest...the last watch I got wasn't on my wrist for a few month. Well...in April 2007 I had way too much time to think about anything...lying in hospital for a few weeks and facing a long recovery when I'm out of the hospital. So I started to search around the net for...something... One time I remembered my interest in watches and so I bought two of the bay just because of their look. The one was a submariner/yachtmaster look-a-like and the other a SMP 300 look-a-like. I knew about the submariner but didn't about the SMP and thought I just bought something good. Well...it wasn't...both were very bad examples of almost reps. Very bad made, cheap movements...nothing reliable. And realibilty has been always very important for me. I joined my first watch forum and learned quick and a lot. So I really started my WIS life with Seiko. The first was a Seiko 5 Superior...I was flashed about the quality and the presence of that watch...I had to buy more So I bought a SKX007, a Black Monster, several Seiko 5, some Sawtooth, some Sumos, some Premier, some Sportura, some Kinetic, some BFK...within a few month I bought almost every Seiko one can get for >1k€...there were so much, the guys in the watch forum thought that I started to deal with them But...I had the feeling there has to be more...I wasn't brave enought to buy me a Seiko MM300 at this moment just because it seemed to be too much money for a Seiko...well... So I almost quit with my Seikos (almost...some special pieces always stayed with me) and went on to Swiss made watches... About a year after my WIS life started I thought I need to have Omegas...so...I bought a Seamaster f330hz, a Seamaster Bond 300, a 70ies vintage Seamaster, a 60ies vintage Seamaster, a 90ies Dynamic and a Speedmaster ST 175.0043. Thought this is going to be my exit...well...they only stayed a few month... My way went further and I randomly bought whatever looked good to me...Sinn, Tudor, Guinand, Omega, Mühle, Tag Heuer, Revue Thommen, Mido, Doxa...you name it... But there was always that feeling that there has to be something more... So I went higher...bought two POs 45.5 (black and pumpkin), a SOSF...well...still not excited. I sold everything and bought every colour of the Precista PRS3 and a PRS20...well...you know what happened, don't you? We are in 2010 now and I tried to find my peace in Citizens EcoZilla...I had 8 of them at the same time, one with steel bracelet (rare piece) and the other seven with Suppas and different straps...crazy...I know 2011...I'm pretty bored about that WIS life...still not excited and I really tried a lot. I closed my account on the watch board that I was most active on and hopped around the international boards on my search for "THE WATCH". In April 2011 I took some serious money and bought the watches I thought I always wanted to have...a 16610, a 16570, a 16710 and a PAM 111...well...guess what...still not excited and I had a bad consience with having almost 20k€ in the watch drawer. I sold them without a loss and went back to Citizen... As I started with Seiko it was the same with Citizen...I bought almost every Citizen >1k€ but none of them stayed long... Mid of 2012...another try, this time with only two watches...a Revue Thommen Aviator Chronograph with white dial and a Sinn 203 with black dial. This was the first time in my WIS life that I felt comfortable with what I had. Still not excited though but it was okay...at least till February 2013... I got the go to buy me a 1675 and so I sold the RT and the Sinn. The first 1675 I got offered was from a colleague of mine and it was a rep. A not so good rep as I learned but good enough to fool some at a German watch board. Good for me that some of them had been very good with spoting reps and so I had been saved from spending 3k€ for a rep But from this moment on I was hooked. So I tried to learn everything about reps, at least as much as I could In March 2013 I found RWG and within a year I had about 40 reps...as you can guess...still not excited. May 2014...I can't remember why, but I had the feeling that'll be a good idea to buy a Seiko MM300. I always loved that watch and after all these reps with all their tiny flaws and problems I really wanted to have a watch with high quality, no problems, very reliable and at a very good price...what else could it be than a Seiko MM300 So I bought it and the Seiko bug was back...but...at a different level this time. I knew a lot about watches since my start back in 2007 and first of all...I now know what is really important to me and what excites me So I started to build my exit collection...not an exit of the watch game...there isn't an exit at all But my exit from being a flipper So the quest is over...I'm still a WIS...but a settled WIS, retired WIS...what you like This is what's left of my rep collection (except a POS which isn't for sale yet but will be next time...) And this is my current collection I don't think I'll get back to reps again, since one can get so much more with almost any Seiko as long as one isn't after a watch in particular but can live with something "close". But be sure I'll stay as a part of this community as long as you would like me to stay

  18. I know, I know...I used to be very active in the old scwf and had a few hundred Seikos the last years. Seems like the bug was only sleeping...I thought he's gone
  19. Not really ...the NH35A is actually the 4R36 which is a great movement indeed
