Wear something cool,

maybe a Seiko chronograph built with Advan, the Yokohama based tire and wheel brand.

A JDM-only crossover from 1998, and not something that turns up often.

10 new pieces today, all tested and ready to wear.

Something I've been trying to get better at is stocking more women's pieces. This whole space skews pretty heavily men's, and there's just as much good stuff out there on the women's side, so not much excuse.

Three from the last week that I wanted to feature: a YSL, new old stock and never worn since it left the factory; the women's half of a matching his-and-hers Ligin set; and a Rado Elegance on its original woven gold bracelet, small case, easy to wear every day.

'His-and-hers' sets used to be a whole category of their own, or at least a lot more popular. Same case shape and dial layout across the pair, his usually a quite bit larger and often with a date window, hers scaled down to fit a smaller wrist. Watchmakers sold them together on purpose, and they were designed to be go-to wedding or anniversary gifts.

This Ligin De Luxe pair is a cheap and cheerful example of exactly that. Swiss movement but interestingly Hong Kong assembled, identical right down to the "antimagnetic" text on the dial, just resized for her (and apparently she didn't need the water resistance?)

Wear something cool, maybe a Seiko Ignition Chrono?

These were a JDM exclusive motorsport inspired chronograph line, some editions carrying official manufacturer & F1 team branding.

2 new pieces today, tested and ready to wear.

Or a new old stock with tags Vintage YSL womens watch.

3 new pieces today, all tested and ready to wear.

Just wear something cool, maybe a hammered dial Seiko Dolce?

Thin enough to disappear under a cuff, with a unique dial you won't find on many other watches.

3 new 'Tanks' featured today, all tested and ready to wear.

Wear something cool

Maybe a Seiko 5 Sports Rally Diver - a modern homage to the original 1968 diver, from the Seiko's Retro Colour Collection.

Rare watches don't need a special occasion.

This is a JDM only Seiko Cressta from the 90s, first one I've been able to buy in such great condition.

Wear something cool,

maybe a JDM Seiko Cressta 'tank' dress watch, not something name you see every day.

Three new pieces today, all tested and ready to wear: a 60s Seiko Skyliner manual wind, and a modern but quite rare JDM Seiko Automatic dress watch round out the drop.
