    I actually like that too, and not to sillily priced.

    Am I correct in thinking there is not a Uk distributor for Mido watches.

    No, they do seem oddly in-limbo, with just Heathrow T5 and a couple of shops in outlet centres.

    Chinese brand Seagull have also released something similar, that would be my way of testing the waters on this one.

    That ice blue GS dial is gorgeous but bloody HELL I wish they would put a little bit of their dial development into their bracelets.

    To be fair that is actually an upgraded bracelet to the older ones, with a new clasp that lies totally flat (it’s a little odd that the old ones didn’t really, but it was always presented as a feature in photos). It also has an unusual wide bracelet design that plays with the proportions. They released a completely new bracelet with the white Omiwatari, though for me it’s too sparkly to choose over leather. There was also a beads of rice bracelet recently, again not for me but they’re not standing still. Some won’t be happy until they get Rolex style microadjustment, but I can’t say I’d prefer a bulky clasp on mine, given the fit and comfort level it has when properly adjusted.

    Can't see me ever buying another watch at this point, but if I was in the market then this would be it....



    At 37mm they haven't even made it oversized.

    That Grand Seiko dial is simply off the charts!

    I like it. Always liked the Defy range, except for their Defy Extremes

    Im finding this an appealing package, and not a huge uplift in price over the standard tricompax.

    I am being drawn to this also. It looks very much like the original, do PM me if you have one of those for sale! List seems to be circa £6.5K so a big bath if it goes on SC a year after I buy one!
