Absolutely disgusting subtlelaugh.gif...and yet, I've always said that the Lupah is the only watch I've ever seen that looks better in pictures  than in person! mistake.gif

 I only said 'no' to purple.  Simply because I haven't seen a nice looking purple strap to go on anything.  I would wear a purple-ish watch though (the Bathy's UV PVD comes to mind).

Being 'into' G Shocks, colors don't really bother me.  I have a couple of all-white watches too :D.  The right watch can look good in just about any color.

 A Paul Newman Edition Rolex Daytona on a red dial with white registers on a burgundy leather strap looks quite decent. 
I've seen one years ago but it wasn't for sale.

 Wow ! A vintage 1960's Seiko Lord Matic...Hard to find watch.

From what I've remember about this particular watch was that it was
rated at 21,600 bph with Quickset Mechanism,a fully functioning hacking movement that can be manually wound.

It was Seiko's answer to the Swiss Movements of the same vintage.

 You are right on this Simon hand6.gif! Took some time to find it and it is not in perfect state. Well, it is about 40 years old, so it wears its' scratches with pride ;)!

all the best

 Who cares about a few scratches, for a 40 year old watch to be working perfectly is
all that matters.
