An octopus colleague at work has lots of watches

Is this seller reliable? They have TAG watches for £699!!!

Also there's a couple of videos on YouTube were people flak about the watches they've bought from this company and they say positive things

good quality watches. heat added

Why would you pay £36 for a display case?

Cheap rubbish, out by over a minute a day.

Sorry but why does a person need a dozen of the same watch? I rarely understand it when someone has more than two watches, an everyday watch and maybe a dress watch, but a DOZEN Seiko 5s seems really odd...

Heat for price though

Because I collect them. And no different to having more than 1 or 2 ties.

I have a lot of ties, I wear them to work. no two are similar. Just seems an odd thing to collect, but to each there own :smiley:

A black faced one ordered - would almost have been rude not to at this price. :smiley:

Collecting watches is very very common. They are a good thing to collect as you can wear and enjoy them, and if you get lucky, even make some money on them.

i understand collecting watches to wear and enjoy and to make a profit on. Collecting a dozen of the same £40 watch is what I thought was odd. that's all. but as I said, to each their own.

Will customs be applied on this?

Great price for a solid automatic.

But if you're buying remember that automatics are heavier, less robust and less accurate than quartz watches. Normally they'll lose or gain a few tens of seconds a day or less with a bit of luck. They will also stop if you don't wear them for a couple of days. Hardlex crystal is nothing like as scratch proof as sapphire (but it's a £35 watch remember).

You do get a lovely little bit of precision engineering on your wrist with a sweeping second hand and no horrible cluncking tick.

I've a Seiko Monster with the same movement. It maybe loses a minute over the course of a week but not enough to really notice. I swap watches at the weekend so the Seiko gets reset regularly anyway.

Heat great watch day and date, automatic, nice viewport on rear, great make. Heat++

Love the narrative on the website must be machine translation "For them who are tired of quartz watches. Let this affordable Seiko 5 be your first ever automatic. There’s no impulse working here; only strong, sound judgement. Or say the impulse here works out quite well! On your wrist, it will look better than in the picture; the fineness of the sober design is a perfect fit for business attires"

Worth pointing out this is 30m water resistant "Do not shower or swim with your watch unless it is rated 100m/330ft and has a screw-down crown."

I have this exact watch from Creation, bought alongside another seiko. This is my third order from them and Ive never had any problems with there service (or customs).

I collect different Seiko 5s. No 2 of mine are the same either

Maybe they mean the movement is the same but the case/face blah is different?

oops there you go. post above me
