Hi all,

Just completed my weekly wind and clean down… and added the 300m to meet the rest of the clan :)

Figured I’d share where I’m at with you all…

Need to finish the SKX mod, and then the final space has a Cartier Santos (white dial, large) written all over it… unless my blue Yachtmaster comes in from my AD first

Think I might need a new watch box and get into vintage next… although I feel I’d need deeper pockets to fish in that pond!

Beautiful! How does the DJ compare to the SMP 300 in terms of thickness? Considering the DJ as my next one.

So much thinner, but I would say very similar lug to lug as the straps drop straight down the wrist.

The Jubilee bracelet has to be the most comfortable bracelet ever.

A very nice looking and versatile collection. Really like that DJ with the Wimbledon dial!

Bought it a while ago, and had to do a little digging back through my emails to find the purchase order… It can be found:

For £59 I have to say, the build quality is phenomenal, it’s very heavy but does keep everything safe and secure.

It took me a while to settle on the style, and I think I was fortunate enough to buy it during Covid last year, as it took about 3 weeks from when I asked to when it was in my hands… just luck of the draw!

My collection started with the Speedie, and whilst I needed to recoup some funds I got into Seiko. Some have come and gone, but the SARB033 & SKX007 have stayed.

The last Seiko in the bottom right belonged to my late grandfather and I wore it on my wedding day… to me probably the most valuable of the entire box 😊
