I didn’t really celebrate Christmas this year which was actually quite nice, but I did buy myself a present. Or more accurately, I saw an extremely rare watch for sale on Christmas Eve and I impulse bought it.

Nice!  My family bought me a watch for Christmas to replace the two that died this year. I ended up swapping it for a different one that will arrive Monday. I will post accordingly.

Ooooohhh. I considered myself well-versed in the movement-and-model numbers for Uncle Seiko... But... I’m flummoxed. That’s a rare piece....

Any chance you have the Model # handy?

Is it the elusive-and-unseen 7A28-7090?

Man, that’s pretty. I got my first real watch for my birthday late last year.

very nice - we were talking about watches at work today, a co-worker came back from China with 5 different fake Rolexes - I honestly couldn’t tell the difference on the submariner he was wearing...

Most of my watches are Seikos, hardly fancy either

Those are an absolute rarity.

I’ve got a Citizen Stars-n-Stripes Yacht Timer Chrono I bought decades ago that I still love the look of.

Those Seiko limited editions are epic.  Congrats.

Some of the fakes these days are pretty much indistinguishable to the naked eye, it’s nuts
