Artego today.
A bit worrying yesterday as I was turning the bezel and it popped off?!
I have put it back on and all seems well but I am afraid to put the watch under any type of pressure of use.

Hopefully that is an isolated incident.  You should report it to the seller in any case.

Love that Seiko, I have also informed Artego of what has happened.

I'll join Neo with the Artego 300M. I've treated mine fairly roughly and am happy to report no issues.

Thanks, Chris.
This is a worthwhile acquisition - especially if you find the average vintage piece too small.  This thing is huge!

Trent, I know how you feel. My oldest just turned 22, the next one will be 20 in 2 weeks, then I have one starting 7th grade next week, one 5th and my little Zoe start "Big Girl School" Kintergarden next Wednesday. That'll be a tough day, my little buddy is 5 and growing up too fast :)

Anyway, Melody and I are taking our three little ones to rent Wave Runners in the Gulf of Mexico. I'm wearing this beach favorite until I get my new arrival next week ;)

You nailed it Graham...in addition to the general vintage awesomeness offered by these pieces, the larger size does make it even more attractive.  Very cool.

it's just an awesome looking watch! I almost bought one use on WUS last week but not the right time. Your pic almost makes me regret making the right decision:)
I love both the silver and orange versions. Yours looks just mint amigo!! Was it new?

Brice...thanks so much buddy!!!!thankyou.gif  Like you, really love the Searambler and PRO versions of the T-Graph (the Sharky is no slouch either!!!).

I was very lucky to have picked this one up LNIB from the original owner...so no, this one did not come new from Doxa (but I was really shocked to see upon receiving it that it was just as I would expect to see it come new from Doxa...not a single scuff on it and with all the goodies!!!!thumbsup.gif...also came with the Doxa rubber as well).  I simply could not pass on the deal...and I think the Searamblers have been sold out from Doxa since about the May-June timeframe of this year.

Hey...so I see you saying that you've got something new arriving next week!!!!anodie.gif  .....So my friend, is it a Doxa T-Graph Pro or an Omega Seamaster GMT 'Great White'????  Inquiring minds would like to know...toon1.gif

Congrats on the new arrival Mark!!!!    Outstanding!!!Thumbsup3.gif

Love the U1 on bracelet and the lume looks really uniform and quite good on this one (...seems like I have heard mixed comments on the U1 lume, but looks very good in this shot to me!!!).

Enjoy this new one Mark!!!!

Looks like the 3133 Poljot movement but I have never owned a strela, there are a few re releases and originals are back to Seconda. Windy1 is an old friend from Russian watch forums and he would be better suited to answer this.
ThumbsUp02.gif
Although if I am correct Windy1's says Strela and yours says Storm "bypah"
Looks great though, a lovely manual wind Russian. That lovely classic design powered by the 3133 work horse of the Poljot movements.
