regarding yobokies

SPOT. IS. BLOWN.

I'd agree with you. But there's like 10 real frequent watch kids on here and Harold seems to slang his goods pretty heavily via some of the other watch forums.

I wouldn't expect hundreds of SuFu kids to flood his inbox with watch requests.

Judging by the bezel and lugs it looks like the base was the: SNK807K2 but just wanted to check.

Ah, thank you both for the info. I actually found a few builds for sale on some of the watch forums but it just feels right to do this yourself. We'll see.

One more thing @wild style. Did you purchase the base model and have Harold add the face and hands? Or does the price include the cost of the watch (I'm guessing the $125 was the cost of the mods seeing as it would make for an INCREDIBLE deal if it included the watch as well). Also wondering what model you started with.

Thanks guys.

Damn straight Mikey. Love the Tanner love here.

@Ryan + @wild style: How does the process work with Harold? I've been perusing for a good Seiko for awhile now and just haven't pulled the trigger. After seeing the Yobokie mods and doing some research I'd love to make this happen.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Price point?

The blur makes my eyes hurt. No hate. There's gotta be a way to snap better pics with the flash off tho.

thats reasonable for that watch and the band he has on it is probably worth that price alone lol.

Sorry for the double quote but I just wanted emphasize what Arlee said. That band looks amazing. Although I would rather wear a leather band out myself, the leather looks great, think and has aged really nicely.

Reminds of a guy at Gamine (Frech spot here in SF) who has a PAM with a leather band made from old WWII ammunition strap (think leather strap with holes for bullets).

Sold for $75.

That is pretty wack, as the ones (at least the suede dirty bucks) are def factory seconds which lack a lot of final touches.

Factory seconds or not, Yuketen Dirty Bucks for $32 USD? Might as well be free. I think it's pretty sad that kids are trying to resell them on ebay and here for 5-6x what they paid.

These came in a few weeks ago. Glad I scooped them up before Mikey blew up the spot.

This dude's store is so random. Hoisery and shoes...stop smoking aids. Oh wait. No. It makes sense.

Dammit Mikey.

^something about this is perfect

I was thinking it was the mini van and the unused basketball hoop that really brought the look together.

It could be Brando too. I could go either way.

what pants are those second from left?

Woolrich 09'

I'll give it a few more days and throw em on ebay. They *almost* fit without the insole...just a tad snug.

Bump and price dropped to $175 shipped. Somebody with small feet please buy these.

Just got these in today and much to my disappointment they're too small. I sized down as I heard these run large and I normally wear an 8. I'll prob try to grab a 7.5 if I find another pair. (if anybody has a pair that are 7.5 and wants to trade please let me know).

These are a SKU that are only currently sold in Japan. They've got some skuffs on the toe and the heel but the outsole is almost brand new as you can see in the photos.

Here's a link to them on Rakuten: http://tinyurl.com/yayb66e

These are a men's size 7W and they measure 9 7/8" length on the inside. (Danner conversion chart: http://tinyurl.com/ybbgep3)

Asking $200 shipped in the US and A. $45 to JPN and if you live elsewhere just DM me and I'll see what shipping will cost. Paypal preferred.

I wish I had photos of Mikey when he used to show in my dorm room wearing 7 Jeans and square toed black shoes. Dress shirt half-tucked.

Oh how far you've come Mikey...

Wikipedia on the COSC should give you the information you need.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COSC

As for my personal knowledge: it's debatable as to whether a COSC movement is TRULY a superior movement to those that are not. Like the article says, watchmakers will generally submit movements to the COSC with better parts or more jeweling to ensure passing.

Personally, I'd trust a watch maker like Stowa with using a highly reliable movement like the ETA 2824-2. With the COSC option you're more or less paying for a little extra piece of mind and a movement that's a little less likely to give you any trouble and keep slightly better time (the ETA 2824-2 can be capable of keeping equally good time as a COSC movement).

Depends whether or not the 177 extra EUR is a good chunk of coin to you. If you've got the bills to burn then go for it. But if you'd rather use the money for something else then stick with the standard ETA movement.

2 cents.

The only thing wrong with that watch is the Lifted Research Group logo plastered all over it. Not into that shit.

the seiko skx031 + nato band is pretty nice too for about $250.

That's a $150 watch. $250 sounds a little steep.

^ would love to see fit pics.

BB has always been pretty timeless...I'd like to see how the newly tailored fit looks.

I believe the De Ville was a 1960's watch. One of the first supposedly solid waterproof watches by Omega (wouldn't take it in the water now...just to be safe).

I've seen a few in antique watch shops and online still selling for reasonable prices.

Hang on to that thing man. Storied watch hand-me-downs are pretty unbeatable in my opinion.

Markmont has now edged out the Cottonduck as my favorite sufuer.

Bold statement sir. Mighty bold.

holy shit these are amazing.

Second that statement. Frame those fucking jeans.

yo tanner goods cardholder look pretty nice

it only has the one slot for cards, no other pockets right?

Yes. Just one pocket for cards. The back does have the two pieces that wrap around so that you could slide bills into if you want. It's been a really nice change from a standard wallet for me.
