Togri v. 2.0
··Wow! Custom title... coolAfter buying my Submariner around new year I said to myself that it was the last watch buy in some time (and the wife hinted as much as well).
Unfortunately when I reviewed my small collection I noticed, to my horror, that I needed a proper automatic beater. My Omega Seamaster, cal. 267 from 1959 sort of has had that role, but it means a lot to me since I bought it two days before my first daughter was born and it was my first proper watch. So I try to look after it.
I then read a couple pieces on the new Seiko SRP777, which looked really good and that lead me to the SKX007. I recognized it but I have never really been into Seikos. After reading about it on several watch sites/blogs, I decided that it was what I was looking for. Also Hodinkee wrote that they stopped making them, which apparently was bullshit, I later found out, so I bought one quick. And it arrived today.
Must say I am impressed in all ways one can be impressed over a watch. I have been missing out. I could buy 30 of them for what I gave for the Sub and even without the price difference, I would say that it gives the Sub a run for its money. Well done Seiko...
The bracelet is weird and seems like it has enormous stretch from new but somehow I really like it. As everyone says, it gets the job done.

·Finaly hands on a Pogue. At this stage I'm still in denial about having an obsession with watches worn in space.

·Thanks to @JohnSteed I now have my first pie pan 👍. Unfortunately it's with my in-laws in the States and I'm in the UK so I have to wait patiently to get my hands on it 🙁. They are not the best photographers in the world so I'll shamelessly steal a photo from the FS listing to show this beauty!
