The Seamaster Pro rose gold and titanium is nice, cannot remember ever seeing that combo before.

That one isn't a common version - 2296.80. The movable ring under the gold band is made of tantalum, so really a three element watch. Prices keep climbing on them, but Omega decided to make a new version (which I don't like as much) that sells new for $14,800!

Bit of an off the wall purchase with this one, not my usual fare. It’s a Seiko Prospex Tuna Safari Edition. I wanted an everyday beater and since having this I have not been disappointed. Timekeeping is +20 secs a week for a watch looking this good and a price point of £450 it’s fantastic.

It was one of the reasons that drew me to it, very unusual colour for a watch :thumbsup:
