New arrivals. Prospexs and huge Promaster Leviathan
Well its been a fairly busy 10 days for our postie. Couple of the new Prospexs have arrived, a nice 1000m, rare discovery, Guigiaro Machinna Sportiva NOS and one huge Citizen.
The Prospexs are great. Gotta feeling that they are priced low too - they seem a lot of watch for what they can be acquired for. I think the prices will rise on these. Nice to see Seiko changing the formulation of the rubber straps too. This one has a nice silky/velvety finish. I am not sure if its a coating - hopefully not .
Nice deep faces. And as can be seen by the side of the 1000m - they aint small. Its funny - i remember getting my first 1000m Tuna -and it was huge . But now, they are dwarfed by some of the recent offerings.
Which brings me to the Citizen. This thing is huge. And heavy. Its solid and a lovely piece of engineering. This is the limited edition model - with a gold tone case and slightly different colouring to the dial etc. Now i know that there are many who hate naming a watch. Some ways i also cringe at the process. But I do find the names extremely helpful. They are far easier to remember than the model numbers. And the names are recognised and acknowledged - even by the likes of Seiko. The word Sumo is actually printed on the box of the limited edition Sumos.
So i propose to christen this beast the Leviathan. Which is apt - cos it is truly huge.
Anyway to the pics:
