On the fence about this, but I overbought and am now traveling, have two Gruppo Ardito pieces so thinking about moving one and keeping one. I am original owner of this rare piece that is currently no longer in production, procured directly from Italy…

Seiko 7A48-7009 Moonphase
Just a great example of Seiko's innovation. All functions work great. I replaced the crystal with a Seiko OEM crystal made for this exact model. On original bracelet which fits my 7.5" wrist loose and comfortably….

King Seiko 5621-7000
Great example of what they were doing with King Seiko in the 70s.
Picked up in 2023 from a well regarded Bangkok vintage JDM watch specialist. It was serviced before I purchased it and runs VERY well especially for a vintage wat…

Gen 1 Titanium Seiko Blue Samurai SBDA003
Continue readingIn 90+% terrific shape for its age. Minor wear marks throughout and on buckle/bezel edge and caseback but overall great condition, please see photos. Sized for my 7.5″ wrist loosely. Watch only. These are only getting rarer by the year. Running well within 7S25 spec (please try make sure it’s fully wound for better accuracy).
Sent to Seiko Service Center in Mahwah NJ for service a month or so ago, have not worn since. Seiko Watch America “service”…
USPS Stolen Package woes
Sent out a package with a CWC G-10 which I blessed with an extra NATO and some gummy bears to a buyer in NYC. Package shows up in NYC with all the packaging and gummy bears sans watch and NATO. The buyer said the package never looked opened, but some of the wrapping I used around the watch was also gone from the images he sent.

SBBN011 “OG Darth Tuna”
The first Darth Tuna. For a 15 to 20ish year old watch (model was available between 2005-2009 but I am not sure when this one was made) it is in terrific condition, not all chewed up and worn out like a lot of examples out there. Being that it’s the OG, there is SOME wear but the ceramics have kept that to a minimum. All ORIGINAL, Full Kit. The band is obviously worn but is in great shape and could probably go another 20 years easy, keeper is in great shape as well but please see…

Available is a Rolex 16600 Sea-Dweller from 1997 in excellent pre owned condition. Perhaps some minor marks on the case, bezel and bracelet but I will let the pictures do the talking. It’s in amazing shape. Dial shows that that it’s a Tritium dial model, but less Tritium than earlier model, therefore the markers aren’t quite patinated (yet?) as other tritium dials of the same period.
Continue readingThe Sea-Dweller was serviced last year in May 2024 at my very reputable independent watchmaker in Bangkok…
Panerai Base Logo PAM000 Zero
Love this classic piece. Zero seconds hand, no problem. Almost the cleanest dial were it not for the Panerai Logo, which I prefer. In very good used condition. Polished case will show marks but nothing egregious and/or deep. It’s a tool watch so I elected to not polish during its last service 1.5 years ago at SJ World Time, has been running magnificently since. 44mm case with 24mm lug width is a lot less intimidating on the wrist than one would think, especially on the OEM PAM rubber strap…

Seiko Arctura Kinetic GMT SUN001P1 in great shape. Fairly rare these days, I picked this up last year in Thailand. Have had no issues with the movement and getting the capacitor to full every once in a while, but it does take a LOT of movement to get …
