Re: FENCE POST STUDIO
Funny that just finished watching a couple of his videos, only thing I could find now to ask was what the opinion of the movements is from you all, in other watches they sell Seiko movements are mentioned but not with the evo

Re: FENCE POST STUDIO
todays new arrival
Pulsar 7S26-X004 Divers, 45mm including the crown guards,screw down crown, 200M WR, drilled lugs, 22mm lug width.
this is every bit as good as the Seiko SKX007 and maybe even a little better if only for the more interesting case design....to be honest i prefer it
the X004 is quite a rare watch and don't come up for sale very often so i am chuffed as i have been looking and missing out on some for a while now.
there is also the plus that it can me modded, all Seiko parts gen or after market fit

How do you get it to around the £89 mark I can never get it cheaper than around £97, they also have a deal of the day https://www.aragonwatch.com/product_p/a183bei.htm delivered to the uk for £57

its probabaly down to the wildly fluctuating exchange rates..they seem to be all over the place at the moment

Re: FENCE POST STUDIO
Thanks for that, anyone have a side on wrist shot I'm just worried that it sits a bit high ( don't know the correct name) or compare it to an 007 if you have one ( as I have just got mine)

they do sit quite high so its not just you i have really big wrists and i have the same issue, its just the design, the 007 will sit lower with a bracelet or a softer strap and i have found them to be one of the comfiest watch to wear

Thanks I'm still tempted by one of these watches I think I will have a play with my fake which is 15.5mm and compare it to the evo which is 17mm

It sits relatively high though that's not bothered me much. It's a great watch and has barely left my wrist since I've had it. In fact it's so good, I've had little interest in wearing anything else since this arrived. Aragon have a Mega sale on today, they have some Quartz divers for $53 if anyone's hair interested.

Have you stopped taking your medication
It is a fine watch but seriously even just thinking about getting rid of all others and settling for one watch is criminal

Not sure why it's so small, tried it from the new app. It looks great, but was incredibly cheap!

Re: FENCE POST STUDIO
It's a Seiko mini monster with Dagaz Dial, SKX007 hands (I think). The case has been machined and give a shiny finish with bezel to match. The strap just about goes with the watch. I'm not convinced about the strap but I don't have the inclination to change it at the moment.

I bought via a n other sales forum. I think it was a bit of a one off. Someone I suspect bought the kit to machine watch cases and this was one of their experiments, it may even be the only one!
