Order placed Saturday the 6th November. Originally I was informed it would arrive by the end of the month but they had their allocation from Seiko arrive earlier than expected.That's where I pre ordered mine from the first day they was announced

I liked the look of the Seiko SPB259 Ginza when it was announced, but I don't generally like to buy things without seeing them.
Unfortunately that meant when I popped into the Seiko boutique, they had already sold out (note to self, just pre-order next time and cancel if I don't like it).
After spending quite some time hunting around the listed dealers in NL allocated some of them, I found one not too far from me in Zaandam.
Have to say I am pretty pleased with it.
What I like;
The dial, really nice interesting pattern.
Blue seconds hand (painted, not blued)
70 hour PR
What could be nicer;
The case Is a bit slab shaped, but not bad as such, the SARB033 shape is nicer IMO.
A signed crown would have been nicer.
Would prefer nothing on the caseback glass, or a non see through would have been fine IMO.
What I don't like;
The thickness, which is exaggerated by the case shape.
19mm lugs, which limits the strap choices, as most of my watches are 20mm so I have quite a few straps that I can swap between them, but nothing in 19mm.
A bit more micro adjust on the bracelet would have been better, it's a bit too loose, but if I take out a link, too tight.
That stupid prospex logo.

Interested to hear what it's like. Will you keep it once the Tudor arrives?

Legendary I understand! How did you find it?

In my book that’s the archetypal Datejust. White/cream dial, baton indicies, fluted bezel and on a jubilee bracelet.
Perfect Datejust.

That’s a beauty.

Blitzed most of the unnecessary logos looks much cleaner.

Love the Seiko! It’s been on my wrist ever since it arrived even to the point that the Breitling SuperOcean 42 that arrived on Saturday hasn’t been on the wrist yet!
Will definitely keep it when the Tudor arrives.

That’s definitely naughty! Worth a call to see how they plan make amends.

Looked at my OP41 a couple of hours after getting it. Looked like a crack, felt like a crack.
It was sherbet from my Sherbet DibDab.

Delighted. Just picked it up...
Thanks, apparently sold out in quite a few places already, this was a case of a fair amount of phoning around.
I was a bit surprised to be honest as it's, "limited" to 3500

About 4 months, although I had prior with the AD - who said that they wouldn't even allocate one as a first Rolex any more, which surprised me!
Congratulations. So they do exist ..Delighted. Just picked it up...
Looks great. How long was the wait?
I was so tempted to ask for details on the ‘experience to land one’.
Grey or AD ?
How much jewellery did you have to buy within last 12 months?
Do you still have both kidneys ?
How many ladies bi-metal datejusts do you now own?

This today from SC.
Didn’t you reject one the other week?!
Looking good. How do you find the size?This today from SC.

This and the Pelagos are the two nicest Tudors but the rivets aren’t for me. Thinner than I thought but still a bit thick. I’ll give it a few weeks and see how I get on.
I was offered by an AD but if I bought it I wouldn’t be offered the white face one which I prefer. If I took it and flipped it I’d be risking being sent to the naughty step.
Thanks! About 18 months for this one.
From an AD. Took about 18 months, maybe a bit more.
Bought a 9 carat signature ring for wife and a James Cameron last year. Pepsi when they were released.
They've been great with me and know that I don't 'flip'.
I know what you mean about the rivets. I wished they would just do away with it.

I just got back with the Pelagos FXD.
It wears very comfortably on my 7.25inch wrist.
Just on a single pass Nato for now whilst I experiment with the oem offerings.
Just got this today and have to have to say I really like it
Well I which you well to wear it in good health.
Shame St James no longer offer a dial swap. I'd want the white too, seems to wear bigger which helps with the thigh wrists!
Nice, giving us all hope there!
And it came with a nice warm, sweatshirt jacket delivered while I waited for the watch.
New to me, with many thanks to Pagan and SC:
Got the call from local AD that my Rootbeer was in if I’m still interested.
Sure am and 45 minutes later I’m in the shop getting it sized for my wrist
Had a 335 for almost 4 weeks. Couldn’t cope with the screwdriver and trying to undo the screws. Swapped it for this Stainless steel brother the 270 with much more manageable quick release pins.

I picked up a Spinnaker Fleuss recently and I have to agree, they are lovely watches for the money. It's a Strap Monster that goes with virtually anything I pair it with. Enjoy your one!
