Two days direct from Hong Kong to my left wrist:

I'm thinking about buying a new watch (like I have for about 10 years now), and most likely a kinetic. Like this image, but with a diver band.

Is that an SNX427? If so, I'm trying to find a cheap black faced one right now. I want to toss it on a TAD gear diver band, and a bund of some sort, perhaps a nice leather one. I still like my 173, but I keep staring at Tunas and my eyes light up lol.

I wear a Rolex Date with a dark blue face plate. At each hour position there is a small bar rather than arabic or roman numbers. Right now I have it with the original stainless steel band. Eventually I would love to buy a gold Daytona or an IWC Portuguese with a leather band.

The writer stated that hardly anyone under 30 even wears one now. Also said that there's so many clocks available on cell phones, iPods, etc, that there's no need anymore.



We had a long discussion about this very topic about 20-30 pages ago in this thread. Lots of different opinions.
You might want to dig it up.

I have 2 Seiko's (one of them Kinetic) and I love them both!

I've never seen one that didn't have any Seiko logo on the dial.

Cool watch.

And two days? I thought mine arrived surprisingly fast at three days (to Michigan). Great watches and great service from Harold.

There are a few other 'modders' that all do quality work from what I've seen, but Harold's work and customer service are top notch AND affordable.

And for the record: I'm not a shill, just a very satisfied customer.

That's a Seiko 5-series automatic with a custom dial and hand set.

Was that two days via the expedited EMS shipping, or regular parcel? Then again, I suppose it's going to be fast regardless since you're on the West coast.

Harold shipped mine out today and I'm looking forward to it.
