docthor Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 ...are all from Japan . I sold the main part of my rep collection and went gen...I started my latest WIS life with Seiko and finally got back to Seiko 1. My all-time favourite...A Seiko Marine Master 300 TechSpec: Name: Seiko 300M Auto Divers Marinemaster Ref.: SBDX001 Case: One piece structure, stainless steel Water proof: 300 m water resistance for divers Anti-magnetic Weight: ca. 210 Gram Lugs: 20 mm Diameter: 44 mm (without the crown) Thickness: 14.6 mm Bezel: 1 piece, black print coated, 120 clicks Movement: 8L35 Automatic 26j Hack function & Hand winding Accuracy: +15/-10 sec per day Power reserve: 50 hours Crystal: Dual-curved Hardlex with non-reflective upper coating Lumi Bright: hands and makers Here is one of the best reviews I ever read about it...it's in German but google translate will do the trick http://www.rruegger.ch/seiko_marinemaster.htm 2. Seiko Solar Diver Chrono Pepsi The main reason I bought this one here are the drilled lugs . First I thought about buying a Citizen 8020-53 Pilot Superduper Titan Radio controlled water boiling blow jobable watch...but once bought I had been told it's already sold out and I had to wait some weeks...naahhh... Went for that Seiko instead TechSpec: Stainless Steel Case Stainless Steel Bracelet Solar Powered Quartz Movement Chronograph Function Analogue Display Hardlex crystal Blue Dial White Lumibrite Hands & Markers Red and Blue Rotating Bezel Fold over clasp with push button and secure lock Date Display Between 4 and 5 O'clock Position 200 Meter Water Resistant Screw down crown and pusher Case Diameter: 47mm (wears a lot smaller) Case Thickness: 12mm Weight: 182gm 3. As some of you already know I'm a very ambitious hobby chef . So I spent some serious $$ into knives...one can't have enough good knives 1 Nakiri, 1 Santoku, 1 Funayuki and 1 Yanagiba So...I hope I'm set now...I always do 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusk Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Stunning Docthor. Stunning! Knives are great too. I'm going to get a nice set soon too, (maybe not this nice though...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I like your watches, but I love your knives!! Can't beat that Damascus steel. It's unbelievable how much easier it is to prep food with good sharp knives. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Nice watches Doc but like Panerai the knives are killer for me. I bought a Santoku just a month or two ago love it, keep in safely in box (hidden!) when not in use so my family does not ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 ...can't wait to use mine...tomorrow I'm going to make some Korean food...Daeji Bulgogi...I bet the Nakiri will just slide trough the pork I store mine in a knife block that is on a high shelf...even too high for my wife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraggle42 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Oh I'd love a proper Damascus samurai, but it's impossible to buy them now. Any ones that are for sale are cheap tat that couldn't cut a piece of butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
