Fook me Daywatch......that is the beez kneez!!!!
I actually prefer this build myself...I'm a great lover of the Seiko movements and I love the Seiko FFF...yours looks stunning. I'd rather pay for that than 600-800 usd for the new one. Great work matey!

Hi, haven´t been here for a while, love my little Seiko FFF - base watch is a Seiko SNZH 55 or 57 dependent on if You go silver or gold from Creation Watches (superfast shippers, well priced, got mine in 80 hours from Singapore to EU) and all lumed extra parts (total 121 usd) are from either Yobokies or Dagaz. Just get everything and send it to one of the forums modders depending on location. Still love the rep to come out ....totally different.... but the pricing.....

Yeah....$458 with Toro and $488 with Angus.....Asian movement only for now.

Not sure if I should say it's steep.....If you estimate the price using only the cost variable then maybe....but if you add the exotic factor into the equation things start looking slightly better....

I'd have to wait for the dust to settle down before I bow down.....

It sold out in a few hours at toro so the price is not to high according to the market

'Sold out' has to depend how many actually were available for sale...

Either way I will wait for a V2.. U know.. Like the BB..

No sold out always mean sold out. However, it was 50 for toro and 50 for pure, 50 more will be sold by the other dealers later on.

That's the issue, 100 pieces is not that reflective of the actual reaction of the market.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the price, but using the word 'sold out' is a but misleading to reflect the actual reaction to the price. Not sure if I expressed myself nicely.

I myself might jump for one if the reviews are good.

any flaw u noticed? seems good to me

has got a couple of flaws like the too fat letters, the 12, lug screws, number on the back(can´t be around No.1942)
Blancpain on the case has other dimensions.....
But overall: It´s nice!

I´ve got the gen one and will make a comparsion, when one of them arrives in Germany
