What is best a custom Rolex or a Rolex that is stuck in custom?

Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional

Looks great! I did not see any for sale (I'm not in the market anyway). Since some don't like links, here's a picture

Great photos as usual Jocke, but you might want to edit that first sentence (I know English isn't your first language)

Perhaps "Queen guitarist Brian May bought his first Seiko....." might work better as the opener

Nice photos of the dial. I hadn’t realized the detail and work Seiko had put into it. Very nice.

Great pics!! I'd really like to have one in my little collection, as I too grew up with Queen and this would fit in with why I add pieces.

I guess most of the watches have never left Asia, it looks like most of the ones for sale are there. In Sweden the Seiko dealers only get one copy each.

If I weren't in the market for a Godzilla this would be my next hunt. Thanks for the linkage.

Seiko should have these models sold online only with the pickup and sale allocation credit going to a chosen AD.

Speaking with a Seiko AD on these matters directly is like explaining how to defuse a bomb to a 5yr old.

Total PITA.


Oh. and thanks for sharing Jocke.

Seiko online boutique here in France removed it from its Seiko 5 collection, so it’s no longer for sale in France (at least via the Internet).

I just discovered this yesterday and have a feeling they will be almost impossible to source in the US. I want one but not enough to pay a premium.

If anyone is still looking, Dan at Timeless in Plano TX ordered one for me and got a few extras. As of about 3:00 this afternoon, he has two left. It really is a striking piece

To be honest, I thought this was just a cool watch but didn’t have an interest in it until seeing Jocke’s photos. Wow, that dial. Your pictures of it are far superior to others I have seen on the web. Why isn’t photography your day job???

Great photos, it does the watch better than the Seiko marketing photos I saw a while back.

My AD offered me one. Declined. After seeing Jocke’s photos, am wondering if that was a mistake.
