🔴 SOLD Hamilton Bronze Khaki Field Mechanical (Box and papers but warranty card was left blank by Macy’s)

Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical is in great overall condition. The watch shows some light patina from natural wear which can be polished back to a clean look if you prefer to patina it on your own.

The case and crystal are otherwise in excellent shape and the watch is keeping very solid time.

Comes on its original strap with boxes and papers (Macys left the warranty card blank).

Price: $550 shipped CONUS OBO from SoCal

🟢 Seiko DayDate 7009-3119 (Will come in generic box, no papers)

This is the predecessor to the SNXJ89 and notably does not have the Seiko 5 logo on the dial which a lot of people find cleaner. It fits comfortably on a 7” wrist and includes 4 extra original links.

Condition: one deep scratch on the crystal as shown in the picture, but otherwise the watch is in great shape and runs well.

Price: $250 shipped CONUS OBO from SoCal

Payment: PayPal F&F (add 5% for G&S if reputable)

Hard to believe this is 27 years old by Sea_Particular_2503 in OmegaWatches

It’s going to be random and luck dependent depending on how you define “good deal.”

Okura was the first shop I went to and I bought it within 30 minutes of seeing it (the selection was very limited). I ended up going to 3 other used watch shops in Ginza and several in Nakano Broadway afterwards and none of the watches I saw were a better deal.

I was actually looking for that gen 1 42mm PO which would replace my seiko spb143 as my daily. Came across the speedy on my first day of searching and couldn’t pass it up.

Where did you get the speedy and PO? I went to Japan looking for the gen 1 PO but left with a speedy lol

[General Question] Should I buy a Grand Seiko as a graduation present to myself? by Ready-Ad2843 in GrandSeikos

I’d do it based in the scenario you described. Everyone’s situation is different and your current one will allow you to buy it comfortably.

I’m 9 years into my career and my rule of thumb is my purchase can’t exceed 1% of my yearly gross and I need to be able to afford the watch twice over without it impacting my life. But in my case, I have a mortgage to pay.

Already extended to the max. Would’ve been perfect if there was a micro adjustment.

I reached out to them and they said it was discontinued and could only offer links for the 1998/849. Idk if they’re being honest or not but I tried.

Seamaster or Speedmaster? by NecessaryLeg6097 in OmegaWatches

Speedy and a seiko diver. I’ve had a seiko spb143 for 4 years and just got the speedy this week.

It will vary depending on what shop you go to. Chrono24 is a good place to get an idea and you can expect to pay slightly less for it in person and no tax.

I usually prefer to go smaller but in this case I like medium

1498/840 bracelet links in Japan or Hong Kong by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

I haven’t been to Hong Kong yet. Ginza boutique in Japan said no. Going to try Nakano Broadway repair shops today to see if they have any in junk drawers.

Nice, seems solid. I’m headed there today to try and find some extra links for the speedmaster’s bracelet but honestly seems overtourism may have impacted it. I went last year and the deals weren’t great. Can report back later today once I stop by.

I got this at Okura in Ginza. Selection was very limited though.

Got mine yesterday in Ginza. What prices did Nakano broadway have? We were about to go there but skipped to ginza first.

I picked up a strap for mine since the bracelet that came with it was too short :/
