For this week’s episodes, we’ll cover sales from August 20–31. Let’s start with some eBay finds.

This stunning Scubamaster Pipin Cayman edition, as most know, is one of my favorite Seiko divers. The dials on these are just awesome. This one sold for just under $900.00 US.

I hate it when I forget to […]

Seiko does something big guns like Rolex and Omega can’t. It makes quality automatic watches with an in-house 7S26 caliber movement that sell for around $100 US. Last time I checked, the cheapest Rolex went for over $3,000 new and the cheapest Omega, a quartz model, sold for over $1,000. Although Seiko can combat the […]

Let’s start this post out with my favorite watch of the bunch. This is a stunning Silver Wave Seiko. This one received a fair amount of interest and sold for $170.00.

Here’s a 7K52 Scubamaster. I like these watches a lot. This one did not meet reserve and was bid up to […]

Last night I accidentally bounced a Casio G-Shock on the floor. I didn’t even think twice. Why? Because the rubber G-Shock watchband and bezel-cover absorbs blows that would scar an ordinary watch — even one tough as boots like Seiko Automatic Divers 200m SKX007 (above). I wear SKX007 all the time, including when I go […]

Is your Frogman poisonous? Casio’s G-Shock Frogman watches are arguably the most collectible of modern post-1990 G-Shocks. The prices of some used models have exceeded $1,000 US, and as we’re now seeing with the Black Dawn GW-225A-1JF Frogman, collectors are paying more than list price for these watches before they sell out.

The name Frogman is […]

If you’re like me, you not only love Japanese watches, but goodies like Swiss Army knives. This weekend, thumbing through a Japanese magazine, I spotted a Japanese-made key holder inspired by Victorinox and Wenger, custom-made by two brothers in the small city of Miyazu. The brothers call their brand Moobius.

The key holders come in one-key, […]

In 2004, German watch manufacturer Nomos released its Tangente model in 30 colors. A limited edition of 100 units in each shade was made. By all accounts it was a great success. The folks at Nomos are smart; Seiko people take note. When you have an iconic product, like Seiko does with its SKX007 200m […]

Seiko SKX007 is the classic Seiko divers watch available today. It has an excellent balance of simple, functional design elements. It makes me cringe when I read about someone who buys one only to immediately send it off for alterations — swapping off its hands, dial, or bezel, or attaching a funky new strap. Ugh. […]
