Hoi.
Very nice watches. Is there a particular watch website that you’d recommend or is it just that you’ve bought watches from Japan through eBay or C24 or ....?

I bought this from a seller in Japan and am very pleased with it.



As I mentioned elsewhere, it was offered at £561 on C24 but another seller also offered it at double the price on eBay. I assumed that the second seller had intended to buy it from the first and then sell it on if he found a buyer.

The C24 seller was very fair and helpful and also provided the documents from his ‘overhaul' of the watch.

Very nice selection! The arrowhead Constellation is a fantastic piece, but isn't that Seamaster a jumbo version? 37-38mm?

Nice pairing with BOR bracelets. What's the size of the 166.011? The photo makes it look like it's no bigger than the Constellations.

Sometimes when I think, gosh, I wish I were even poorer, I look around for an oversize Seamaster here in Japan, but fortunately for my family I haven't run across an irresistible buy yet.

It is 36mm

I just got a 166.011, purportedly 36.5mm, and though it's very handsome on a BOR, my impression remains that it's an extremely subtle difference in size from the 166.010/168.024 models that I'm used to. In other news, 1.5mm continues to not be a large quantity.
