No pics for me until next Friday, but I finally found an Omega I liked (used, fantastic condition, pretty fair price too), and it'll be here early next week. I was so tempted to pick off the Civic Type R that I've been looking at all day/night from the window in my father's hospital room. He's been improving rapidly after coding out just a week and half ago, and kept telling me to "go buy that car, I'm tired of you pining for it". Still holding out for what I had planned to buy this summer instead though, but man, the Honda pics along with the watches had me talking to myself (again). I did sit in that Type R - man, Honda makes a great interior, fit me perfectly.

So, next week, a couple new watch pics, maybe accompanied some of the new blades I got in as well (some high end Medfords and a Shirogorov that don't make it up here all that often now thanks to the CBSA). Maybe some bullet chuckers too, we'll see.

So I hope some others put up some Friday pics today......

Nice, lots of Omega (and Rolex) lovers here ...

I recommend to buy Omega from Japan, usually mint condition, and fair price too. (with weak Yen lately) However, duty/tax/shipping/handling fees could be very high too, depends your luck! But some models/version we don't see here, worth to try! :)

Optical illusion due to the curved plexi.

I just ordered my first watch from Japan, just to see how it goes with a less expensive one prior to getting something higher up the food chain. Bought a Casio G Shock MT-G MTGB1000D-1A stainless, for $850 from Japan which $300 less than any Canadian dealer I could find. Friend of mine had one when I bumped into him last week, and I was really impressed, and since he lives in Gatineau and we only see one another once or twice a year, he didn't care if I bought the identical watch as him. So, I'll take that advice belatedly. I have 2 Rolex and one Omega now (Sea Dweller and Stainless/Black Submariner), but I'll hopefully expand this year a bit.

In general, price for almost everything is cheaper in Japan than here, (not cars or house) even with 11-12% duty/tax, and $50-100 shipping fee, but for watches, only come with domestic Japan warranty. (Some retailers charge extra 5000yen + packaging fee, beware.

(Such nice day to go park with kids! Finally, outdoor watch photo with some Seiko love ! )

Thanks for the advice re Japan, C4S. Great Seiko as well, a good Seiko is on my list for sure.

Disoblige, I love GShocks myself, I have a similar XL sized watch of theirs, and am about to get one of the Gshock steel watches in shortly, the MT-G MTGB1000D-1A model. Such great watches for the $.

It's not Friday, but I'm not the first to break the rules, plus I'll be out on the water on a friends boat that day. Finally got one off the list (Good used Omega)

Two things I always take with me one I go out, besides the usual wallet/keys/phone. A watch, and a pocket knife/tool. Posted before I was waiting on my Omega, it's got some miles on it, but it was a great deal. The Medford Knife and Tool (MKT) knife is excellent as well, slightly smaller than the last one (Hoback Husky) - this is the MKT 187 Flipper model, the titanium sides are both .187 width, as is the PVD coated D2 tool steel blade. Flips like a laser, crazy edge, and for the $800 after tax/shipping, probably my favorite folder knife atm. Thick, tough, chunky, yet precise instrument and tool.

my favorite Seiko. I had the black dial version last year and sold it. Got the SLA025 and like it but I should have got the blue SLA023 and put the difference in my piggy bank.

Really need to add one of these to the collection. Doesn't need to be Gulf but that would be extra sweet.

^^ Very nice Adam - fellow Sea Dweller fan/owner too, I'm thinking of getting a new stainless one as well myself. How's the Dreamliner seats in your opinion compared with other current liners?

Where did people get their AP? Looking for a specific Royal oak. Does Brinkhaus carry them?
