    As I said G&p 

    I had an l119a1 version

    Bloody internet 

    What are all the weird lines around the engraving mate?

    I don't think you understand my post bud

     

    The body I purchased was blank, G&P don't sell non traded bodies. My "L119A1" trades I put on myself, the weird lines around the engraving are from the salt water etching process I'm still yet to remove 

     

    G&P didn't have rear tabs on the uppers like the old TM and ICS uppers but again, ICS have traded bodies

    I've had a quick look, presumably I need to pay for the Pro version to get actually timing rather than the 'good/bad' readouts?  I can see it works though, probably well enough to make the watch wearable again :)

    To be fair I've not noticed the difference between the normal and pro version!

    Ahhhh cool thread I hadn't spotted before either!

    Loving those Seiko chronos, I've had a soft spot for all things Seiko for many years, I quite often wear my dad's SQ 4004 Quartz that he bought aboard the SS Canberra back in the late 70's.
    I've got a SARB035 which is a lovely thing, but desperately needs to get regulated.  It was about 30 seconds off a day, I decided to 'improve' it, and naturally enough it now runs at 5 minutes off a day 🤣  
    I'm sure I could actually sort it with some more trial-and-error, but in the absence of a time-grapher, I'll just get the jewellers to sort it for me, some day.


    I'm not wearing many of my collection these days.  I sprung for a Tudor Black Bay Pro recently

    which is a cracking watch.   But no sooner had I bought that than I got "The Call" from the Rolex dealer (after a year and a half on the waiting list!), and a few weeks ago I picked up my grail watch... Oyster Perpetual with blue dial.

    Wearing it every day, it's not an investment piece.   I absolutely adore it, it's just so beautifully finished, and perfectly proportioned. 

     

    If you're happy to open the caseback and regulate it yourself get yourself the TOSCA app and sit in a very quiet room and give it a go 👍
