Newbie Kena Nibbled By Sardine!
Dear all



Finally, after 6 months from my previous hoot, I'm granted to buy another watch by my CO :lol:



Have been eyeing on a few watches in the $300 range and decided on a Sardine; bought it at K2 today.



Here are some pics of my new watch, you are welcome to post your Sardines too.











will do some closed-up shots tomorow.

The rest of us will be wasting water. But Chris usually puts water to good use in his shots! Haha! Enjoy your new toy Chris!

hmm, since my watch is black, I think the original black shroud is fine.

Just an update on the watch.



I've been wearing the Sardine daily since day 1. While on the wrist, the watch runs about -2 or -3 secs and if I put it face-up on the table, it gains back 2 or 3 secs.

Right now after face-up, I'm at +- o sec! Fantastic really!

Totally agree! Your shots are sensational. Made your Sardine "come alive" like a living thing with a heartbeat.

What camera did you use? Sensational!
chriscentro
Re: Newbie Kena Nibbled By Sardine!
for the closed up I used a Nikon D700 , Tokina 100mm macro lens and some extension tubes. Actually should have used the D90 instead to have more magnification.

Re: Newbie Kena Nibbled By Sardine!
nice! i saw that at k2 too. was slightly tempted by the sardine but i ended up with the monster. hah

Re: Newbie Kena Nibbled By Sardine!
just found another "flaw" on my sardine beside the mis-aligned chapter ring.



The hour hand is out of alignment as in it is slightly ahead of time. When I wind the watch to exactly 12 o'clock, the hour hand sticks out to the right and not centrally position with the rest of the hands.



I guess this is a small fix which Mr Goh can help me fix.



I wonder any other owners have such problem?

Dear seiko gurus, is $380 a good price for a new gray market limited edition blue sardine?
