Happy with this one...my first Time Factors watch!
I am presently quite unreasonably excited at the prospect of getting my mitts on something quite special. High-accuracy quartz, GMT, and something I've been hankering after since it was launched.
Picked up a NOS SBDX017 a couple of months ago and was struggling with the bracelet for weight and comfort.
Tried a Crafter Blue and it’s a game changer. On a 6.75inch wrist:

Looking forward to an incoming tomorrow, can’t say no a couple will likely have to go after this pickup.
Got the call this afternoon for a Submariner 126610LV.
The required Wrist shot will be forthcoming.

Thank you, certainly keen to see it in the metal.

Thanks. I would definitely give one a go unless your wrist size is 6.5inches or less. The case is a little wider than the bezel, that and the dial size being quite small makes it wear smaller than you think.
Prices have increased somewhat on used models though. Historically they do get flipped quite a bit but I suspect those with the old style ‘Marinemaster’ dial versions will be holding on to them now.
This is my 4th one! I always loved the watch but could never find a strap that suited it and was comfortable for me other than a nato. Problem with the nato was that just made an already tall watch a bit taller. The Crafter Blue has solved that issue. Better late than never I guess...

Arrived today off Andrew. Very impressed indeed.

This arrived for me today.....First impressions?
I love it!
I need to size the bracelet, but first impressions are far, far better than this quick and dirty iPhone photo. I’m genuinely excited to have this, I love high accuracy quartz and the 9F GMT has been lurking in my “want” list since Seiko launched it.
Not the usual “experience” but sized and handed over at the Door
Initial thoughts are if I can get the ND to replace the maxi case I certainly will.

Very nice, @TonyAFC8!
Well played and well wear.
Thank you.
Have bought 4 watches from them previously and they have it on record how many links I have out

?? fingers crossed it won’t be too long for you, I didn’t think it would be a difference enough to change but in the metal agree it is.

GP vintage alarm watch, so sharp and clean.
Just picked up this afternoon... Classic combo.

Actually a dual arrival as I picked up the PRS-25w via a WTB and the perlon a few days earlier on SC

I really wanted a Navigator but sadly the Eddie Platts Sunday shoot-out thwarted me. This will have to fill the military reissue gap for the time being.
It's gained 2 seconds 48 hours so not too shabby.
Latest incoming and just love everything about this watch. So different it’s really refreshing, and this bracelet is the best I’ve had.

I am sure you have all seen one of these before but after a long old wait I finally collected this at the AD doorstep this morning.
Still pinching myself after getting a call yesterday afternoon a little earlier than I had been led to believe.
I hadnt bought a G-Shock in a while but the in the past couple weeks these 4 have joined my collection. I need to stop now.

Been searching for ages for the right strap as an alternative to the bracelet on my SAR and due to the lug shape and configuration it hasn’t been easy.
This arrived a couple of weeks ago a notched SteveO strap and for me is the perfect alternative.

I had this for sale BNIB on SC, took the watch out of the plastic bag to take a better pic and the dial then presented its beauty. So I'm keeping it. Same watch, different light. Just look at the dial changes depending on the light!
