    How many watches have you sold? I've sold two, and given away two.

    In total? Dozens. More than 50 I'd say

    That's a lot of visits to the post office. They must know you quite well in there by now

    While I admire your commitment to the cheap Shanghai, am wondering if you've ever fancied a Beijing?

    Yeah, I did have someone in the far east who wanted to buy it and would have paid more but he was a bit weird

    Yes, Raj and Linda know me quite well.
    A Beijing is definitely on my list....it's quite a long list though

    Next up is the Seiko SARB017, a watch I've had a long standing love affair with. I bought one second hand about a year or so after getting into watches, liked it so much I bought a SARB015 as well, combined the bracelet from the 15 with the 17 and liked that combo even more, sold the 15 (stupidly with the bracelet), bought a Rolex Explorer and decided the Alpinist was too similar, sold the Alpinist, missed the Alpinist, bought it back about a year later from the guy I sold it to, tried the WJean oyster bracelet on it and found it wasn't quite as good as the Seiko one, sold it again, missed it again, bought a new one from Seiya with bracelet a couple of months ago. Love it.

    First time


    Second time (on WJean)


    Third time (today)

    I think it was the one that came with my CWC G10, so I imagine you could get one from Silvermans. Not 100% sure though, I've had it for ages
