    Hello all!

    Just thought I'd share a recent purchase...
    The story first though. Back in 2005, I started my first job post uni. I lived across the road from the city centre an everyday, I'd walk past a few jewellers. One day, I stopped and had a look at watches and saw a seiko that I absolutely loved. I was really tempted to buy it as a reward for my job but just couldn't bring myself to do it because of the money. Since then, I've looked at it on eBay regularly, and finally bought one this week! It arrived and I have to say, it's in amazing condition, looks mostly unworn! The dream has finally been realised!

    Sadly not - I don't have any opening kit. As you say, the leap year/perpetual calendar functionality is cool. Looking forward to testing it out! I'm also keen to test out the sleep mode/energy preservation function!

    Nothing much to see inside these modern quartz watches. A lot of plastic, and not much else.

    Enjoy it man! Nothing like getting the watch you want! Perpetual calendars are great! I have a couple with that feature, those are my pick up and go watches
