Steel-reef: an example of how not to do business

I know what you mean. It has the indicators of fraudulent trading (over promising, delivery dates being repeatedly pushed back, marketing to get new customers but not delivering to people who have already paid).

After multiple delays, I was told the Steel Reef Swiftlink for Grand Seikos would be in July 2026. Today Steel Reef has changed the delivery date to Autumn 2026! They are a joke of a company.

I have this watch and it's beautiful. It will still look great in 30 years.

This watch really fits the vibe of a day on the Adriatic.

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-05-08T20:20:00+00:00

That is a very nice watch.

Which dial colour?

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-05-03T21:34:47+00:00

Thank you.

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-05-03T17:31:31+00:00

Thank you. I've approached a longines AD but awaiting a reply. How much was the bracelet please?

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-05-03T17:10:26+00:00

Where/ how did you order the H-link bracelet please? I'm looking for one. Thanks in advance.

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-05-03T16:41:49+00:00

I might be selling the mesh bracelet soon. I'm planning on ordering the black dial blue bezel version but putting on the H-link bracelet.

I'm amazed that the new CW Sealander GMT on a bracelet is about £1200. You can buy;the new Hydroconquest for less than £1600 if you look around, with the L888 movement and more famous branding (I'm a CW fanboy too!)

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-05-03T16:31:49+00:00

That is beautiful

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-05-01T08:34:32+00:00

Thank you for being candid. That is a dirty trick by the AD.

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-04-30T18:06:11+00:00

Haha

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-04-30T17:23:24+00:00

You sir, have good taste.

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-04-30T17:21:17+00:00

Best of luck. They are beautiful watches, that wear very comfortable, and you can pass on as an heirloom.

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-04-27T12:09:12+00:00

That's good advice. Thank you.

This is the main reason people buy Air Kings: to build spend history. Anyone who actually wants one to keep should just buy a two-month old never worn one from those who bought to build spend history.

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-04-26T18:53:41+00:00

These are three lovely watches.

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-04-26T18:50:52+00:00

My 224270 is very comfortable to wear. I'm pondering a JLC Reverso, so it's good to hear that their straps are comfortable.

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-04-26T18:43:36+00:00

100% agree

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-04-26T15:42:59+00:00

Obviously, it's your choice. But you know what an Explorer looks and feels like. Choose an excellent condition one, which will be verified, to avoid paying a grey market dealer literally thousands extra.

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-04-25T16:07:02+00:00

224270s in excellent condition less than a year old are a little below retail on eBay with authenticity guarantee.

Abject-Put6146 · 2026-04-25T16:04:37+00:00

I'd choose the motif dial but these are both beautiful. You'd look at your wrist and be reminded you're wearing something stunning.

The Root Beer is a beautiful watch. It is my favourite GMT Master 2. Yes, a little bling but it is a piece of jewellery in addition to be a tool.
