i am sorry but that vid is a mess

I haven't watched it to be honest.

One thing I love about looking at watches is trying to find that perfect watch (in a price range that you're comfortable with). When you truly understand what you want in a watch, it's a beautiful thing. Finding that perfect watch though can be a daunting task. I've been looking for a Speedy with the three sub dials on this pattern (left, right, bottom) with a date on at least 42mm. Didn't think it existed. Found that it did online today and realized the sub dials are on the same plane (not lowered) as the main dial. DANG! Wish the sub dials were indented a level lower.

My must haves are a date function and luminescence. Also has to look great with a rubber strap.

I'm feeling like a gold colored Seiko is OK if you absolutely must do the gold plated thing

Yeah if they made this watch 40mm with sword hands it would be perfection.

If anyone is even mildly curious about this watch you can email fratellowatches and get the first magazine for free. They will post wherever you are in the world free of charge and you'll get a very informative read.

Congrats on the newborn, Leebro !

Thank you brother.

My first boy after two girls. I've always been nervous about having a boy as their love needs to be earned whereas a daughter will love you as long as you don't mess up too much. Fingers crossed everything is going well almost two weeks in

I have two little ladies too, I’m done though. I wanted all boys but I’m so thankful for the girls I have. The four year old likes to try on my watches, that make me happy.

Congrats on the baby!

We have a ten month old boy and hopefully that’s it!

Believe me I would be happy with all girls and when I heard I was having a boy the nerves started.

I was cool with the tea parties, playing teachers and barbies, and fighting with the youngest one who is a bit of a tomboy. Things with their mum never worked out as we were pretty young but we are still friends to this day.

My new partner has two boys and it brought back all of my memories growing up the oldest of three brothers. The constant need for activity, the boundless energy, etc etc. So after seeing that on a part-time basis I thanked the lord for little ladies. Anyway after four years we got pregnant and after our five year anniversary just before fathers day we had our son. I couldn't be happier.

Congrats on the baby!

That's what we all say. Your lady may well have different ideas.

ok so gold colored Seikos where I like the case:

snkk98, it's $171 on Amazon
www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNKK98-Stainless-Steel-Analog/dp/B0065ACQ9M

SNKK52, it's $129.99 on Amazon:
www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNKK52-Stainless-Goldtone-Bracelet/dp/B004TLVBXG


I have the above in non gold plated/steel color. The bracelet feels kind of cheap. I have no idea on how long the plating lasts.

Nice watch for the price point. My major issue with this and other watches in general is the lack of continuity in regards colour of the watch case and the case back.
