Wosto = thanks also for your kind words on my pix but I am not using a true macro and your photos are really the ones to beat
Mark= thanks for your comments on my review. I tried to approach the review differently and I'm glad you liked it
Nic = thanks also for the kind words on Daily Wrist Check. This watch is really ready to rumble
Graham = thanks amigo and I agree that the Seikos, even the entry models and regular divers are greatly undervalued, underrated and underappreciated. They all get bum raps from those with little knowledge. We can forgive them.
Tom = thanks also and your PM
Natevan = thanks and for sure, I will enjoy this
William = thanks and you are so right about the strap on my "young skin". Not only is hair from my head thinning out but my wrist hair sort of joined the picket line too
and now responding to gravity. I tried a Zulu but the Zulus here in Singapore where I met up with the watch, are all with polished hardware. I also tried plain Pam style rubber but the holes for the screw bars were so small and the fat, very fat, spring bars of the MM just wouldn't go through the holes. I ended up getting a Nato, amigo, but I got the thickest Nato with black, dull hardware. The beauty with Nato, though scrawny versus the mighty Zulu, is that the Nato flows more closely from the lugs and screw bars and this is because the gauge of the material is thinner and is helped by the "underlap" portion that goes under the case. I will try my luck with original Seiko waffle rubber or original Seiko Big 3 (the ones with 3 holes on each side of the 2 strap rig).Tony = thanks too
Chris = thanks for the kind words on my review. It was way past midnight when wrote it
Oscar = thnaks for the kind comments on my review. I try yo measure up to the other great reviews of the other 3T WIS
Ricardo = thanks also and roger that: will post more pix and will show the watch as really black. The lighting a the hotel wasn't great when I took the shots and blues and grays were more predominant that time
Aredman and Bozza = thanks also.
By the way gentlemen, there's another very limited MM coming out in a few months. It's nicknamed the "STORMTROOPER". I don't really like it but I am attaching it to deliver the point on the use of ceramics for today's watches. Below are pix stolen from the higuchi website.
From the looks of the tiles and position of yellow flooring braile of the bottom picture, it looks like this was taken in a Tokyo subway.
