Incoming… what do you have? (Vol. 3)

[Sporky]

Is it bad that I like that more than most of the "real" ones I've seen?

This is going to cost me money. Those look brilliant!

Just wait until you see their VC 1921 homage.

I already messaged them to see if they want to flip it for a lefty

It’s arrived back in UK. Looking forward to seeing how it works!

As much as I normally hate 'homages', that dial without a logo or text is so frickin' clean!

Arrived the other day, really nice piece, wears very well, the strap needs to soften up a bit but it's not bad quality. Manual wind is nice, haven't really confirmed its accuracy yet, it will be an occasional wear anyway so I don't mind rewinding it each time.

I'd say my only gripe is that the lume isn't at all as good as the images. The hands I believe to be super luminova as they do take in light and glow very well / quickly, but the hour markers / indices don't really, maybe because they have the more creamy / patina effect to them, they only glow dimly. Only a small criticism though.

Reminds me, need to get this up for sale…

[SSG1000]

Just picked this up, only three weeks between registering and having it on wrist!

Have a birth year Santos on the way for my partner's significant birthday next month, have had a search running for quite a while keeping an eye on what was around and this one looked / sounded like it was in excellent condition so here we go!

Ta. It fills a nice set of things all at once - green, titanium, radio sync, and a JDM-only Casio. So it's saved me a fortune, right? Also I forgot the stock picture. £650 from Chrono24 (in case anyone is wondering how cheeky an offer you can make), plus whatever import comes to.

Will it work in the UK?

Yes

It's also got Bluetooth sync to phone, and runs normal quartz accuracy anyways if it can't sync to anything.

That looks really good. Especially woth the matching date wheel. I had a black dial Oceanus with the contrasting date wheel and couldn't put up with it.

[Sporky]

I can't tell if the date wheel is green or black, but it's close enough that it looks OK. Might be two weeks for this one - from previous experience the seller is very quick, but these are only just out on sale.
