@ revolink24.
I try to forget things that are painful.
@ mralexosborn.
An old buddy of mine who specialized in this kind of thing...
Yes, it's a bumper. He did an amazing job. If you've never had a bumper, it's a real trip to wear.
You know the ETA-7750 wobble? Well it's kind of like that, but you can feel the rotor slam against the bumpers... back and forth. Back and forth. Kind of fun, really.

2k for that is a great deal. That's timeless and probably my favorite of your collection personally.

That LeCoultre alarm is a classic All very nice.
You're absolutely right. I've handled and closely examined every model in the Ananta range, as well as watching a number of video propaganda from Seiko about the design and manufacture of that range. Adjusting for the propaganda factor, they're still remarkably well crafted timepieces, selling for less than a comparable European watch. That being said, there is nothing else like the Spring Drive movement on the planet, so in that respect, there is no competition.

Kenny after having the Royal Oak watch can you please tell me as an owner what the hell is so good about these? peoples in the watch hobby go nuts for these watches, is it because of the brand (yes it is one of the top names out there)? is it the cost above a regular luxury sports watch (say a Rolex Daytona, Zenith, a JAger sports piece, etc)? or is it because the GOV of Cali has one?...ok i am joking with the last question.
i never understood the admiration this watch gets, to me it always looked as a weathly mans Rolex. i am in no way dissing it though, just wandering what the thoughts are from an owners point.
btw nice collection, which of these 4 get the most wrist time?
Just look at it. It's beautiful.
