I've been looking at this today but as I don't have much interest in modern watches, I've got no idea about it. Anyone know the model number ? Is it auto ? Was it made in the 90's or more recently ? Cheers guys. (Sellers pics) sFIZRKKQ0pBSG37dLSnQ~~60_58.JPG)  ( I tried typing 'Seiko Titanium 100m' into Google, but out of hundreds of images, I couldn't find this model ) |

I don't mind wearing slightly smaller watches sometimes but I think this style of watch needs to be 38mm to give it some presence. It's one of a couple of questions that I've asked the seller, had no reply yet, they don't speak English so maybe Google Translate has let me down again & I've probably insulted them with a bad translation. embarrassed-smiley-face |

I discovered a German seller who had the same e-bay username as me, and knowing a reasonable amount of German, contacted him. I got stuck on the word "Fan", so I used Google translate which came up with "Luftgeber". Off went the message, but the next morning it occurred to me that the word meant "air giver". Never did get an answer. laugh1.gif |

And the reply I got back was: "What business is it of yours to ask how old I am ?" beating-head-against-the-wall |

I think it's got a great simplicity. Nice piece. My only quibble about titanium is that it can sound sort of tinny on the wrist.

cussing1.gif Dammit. Had a couple of drinks in the garden when I got in from work & forgot this watch was ending. I know a lot of these titanium models don't fetch much but this only sold for £18. Someone got a bargain beater, shame it wasn't me.
