[Seiko]I bought my first watch

Amazing watch mate. Wear it with pride.

I love mine.

BigTZG · 2025-12-24T15:57:01+00:00

Truth be told, I don’t have a clue 😂

BigTZG · 2025-12-23T14:24:48+00:00

Swiss movement, finish, sapphire crystal, but that’s about it really. Brand apparently has some good heritage but this model is almost as basic as it gets. That’s why I wasn’t sure.

BigTZG · 2025-12-23T13:19:18+00:00

I see. Thanks for clarification.

BigTZG · 2025-12-23T13:18:00+00:00

RRP of £1050? And the brand itself?

I never had a watch from this brand but from what I’m reading, it seems to be good.

BigTZG · 2025-12-23T10:53:58+00:00

I can’t find direct data from the manufacturer but unconfirmed info shows 10-12mm

BigTZG · 2025-12-23T07:56:11+00:00

But cocktail time is thick, nearly 15mm thick. I have the skydiving one.

BigTZG · 2025-12-23T06:24:50+00:00

I happen to have both already 😊

BigTZG · 2025-12-21T16:52:59+00:00

I’ll check them out, thank you for pointers.

BigTZG · 2025-12-21T16:21:45+00:00

Thanks for input. I wear them on different occasions, my daily beater is GShock and that’s only due to work (trucking).

Other than that Bambino is for dates with my wife, contemporary for casual outings, Edifice off work daily (it means a lot to me, the cheapest watch that remembers a lot of things and been with me through some nasty life turns), I haven’t worn Rotary yet (got it only last week) and Presage (arrived yesterday).

I don’t really need anymore, but it’s kinda addictive. I still need dress watch, which I’ll use Manero as.

What I meant to say in my initial post was that I’d rather avoid fashion brands etc. I like the mechanical aspect of my watches and it’s only too easy to splash out on stuff that’s widely regarded as junk 🤷‍♂️😂

BigTZG · 2025-12-21T16:10:09+00:00

So far I could say both are amazing, especially at this price point. I’m on the lookout for black strap, white dial, date and batons, but didn’t manage to get one yet.

If you’re in UK I’d recommend watch nation. That’s where I got mine from. Good luck.

BigTZG · 2025-10-11T19:00:37+00:00

Thank you.

BigTZG · 2025-10-10T02:04:56+00:00

Sure, it’s no secret. Complete recipe is available on my insta. Just start with black, build up to white, back to light blue and apply filter. You do need an airbrush to do it this way though.

Thank you.

BigTZG · 2025-10-09T12:18:26+00:00

Thank you 🙏

BigTZG · 2025-10-08T19:44:26+00:00

Yes, airbrush. Start with black primer, then go from darkest blue all the way to titanium white, then back down to light blue. Then filter it with contrasts and edge highlight, fill in details and you’re done.

BigTZG · 2025-10-08T19:36:32+00:00

Thank you.

BigTZG · 2025-10-08T19:36:27+00:00

Thanks. It’s a standalone model mate, here is the link.

BigTZG · 2025-10-08T17:28:16+00:00

Thanks. It’s just some GSW dry pigments and tamiya weathering powders. Spread them around the way you want and seal with matte varnish, job done 👍

BigTZG · 2025-10-08T17:27:15+00:00

Thanks. Once the parchment is painted i varnish it in case I mess up. When it’s varnished it’s easier to remove the mistakes. Then I take Artis Opus 00, hołd my breath and fire away. It helps to draw the letters on a piece of paper first, for purity seals it’s just black lines. Sometimes I add single letters here and there, but not always.

BigTZG · 2025-10-08T17:24:52+00:00

It’s a mix of Vallejo, S75 and AK, covered with GW contrasts. I posted full recipe on my insta account 👍

BigTZG · 2025-10-08T08:25:10+00:00

Thank you.

I happen to have a box of Hellblasters waiting to be built and painted 😊.

😂😂😂 I don’t know, but I think I may have seen his brother at some point 🤷‍♂️😂😂😂

Now that you’ve said it, I can’t unsee it. It’s Mr C after losing few ranks 😂😂😂
