Greeny overnight/this morning, swapped out for the vending machine watch for when I sit in front of the F1.

Much as I continue to have a mild fascination/hankering over the RMs, I just know that after wearing one for 15 minutes the total illegibility of the thing would be driving me and my OCD to distraction...

BTW, I just joined the Yellow Avenger Club. And I'm not talking Hillman.

Beautiful. I think I prefer that reverse panda style to the one I happen to be wearing today. 

But you could at least have set the right day...   (although I have to admit I had to Google it this morning to remember how to!)

@Popperini    I think I overpaid for this one  . . . bought it from a guy in Austria couple of years ago . . ..  managed to find a guy in Canada that sells lots of original spares and  he was really helpful with delivery to Scotland  . .  . .  bought a few bits & bobs and hey presto . ..  could do with a new  day/date wheel though . ..  sadly a friend spotted it on my wrist and has begged me to let him have it. .. .  he only has a couple of watches in his collection  but is really keen  . . .   . ..   and I have had a fair bit of fun & pleasure with the watch  . . .. .  so I have agreed  to let him have it . ..   . ..  so  off it goes tomorrow to a new owner ....   ..  I may start looking for a better one now   . ..  maybe a Seiko Bullhead like the one below .. .     

p.s.   Nice avenger . . looks  nice and looks really good  fun too. . ..   but I always leaned towards  the 180B

That Seiko is a mini-grail model for me too. I absolutely love every aspect of its design. Good luck with the search!

I must admit I keep nearly deciding to sell my Citizen bully. Its lovely, but gets sod all wrist time, is just a little bit small, and using the crown is a right fiddle. But its aesthetic charms have kept it in the collection.

How big are they? 40mm?

[Redfire1066 11,145]

@Simonix    The citizen Bullhead   . ...   it is 38mm or 38.2mm to be precise   . .  the Seiko bullhead is 46mm x 43mm

Thanks. 
 

Seiko it is then.....for me..... if I ever see one that is?!

[Redfire1066 11,145]

@Simonix  there are plenty around  . . .  at premium prices though . . .  and original spare parts seem to be no problem ..   .....  be aware of the usual B@st*rdized bitzers going round for sale as original watches .. .   and having  had a great experience personally from your magical horology talents    . . ..   to man of of your astonishing horological expertise and  amazing abilities  . . . you'll be be all over it in next to no time Sir  ..

Wonderful Watch. Prices have sky rocketed like the Pogue. Still looking for a nice Speedtimer.

Nice look of the black daytona on a Rubber B. Any more shots ? Are you using the bracelet clasp or a tang buckle.........might do this on mine as the Rubber B  usually strapped to the BP SD is sitting unused at the moment.

Thanks I think it suits it well. Using the clasp. I can't seem to add pics when quoting? So pics to follow. (sorry about the added fluff from the sweater)

Yeah, I was almost startled at how diddy the Citizen is. Which is partly why I too am after the Seiko!
