Looking for a great used Seiko ssc929

yellow chronograph. Newest model. Under 325-345 shipped? Anyone have a lead?

What are the instructions for sending Zelle payment for FTW collective purchases?

Thank you

A cousin recently gifted me a surprise Christopher Ward C63 Valour chronograph and I quite like it. Comfortable reverse panda, looks sharp, nice finishing, well priced, and has a 1/10th second dial which is pretty cool. I am particularly intrigued by the new C63 GMT and C1 Jump Hour. I also like William Wood, interesting backstory and designs although I've never handled one.

Wondering if anyone owns any references and your thoughts.

I'm starting to get an ap offshore bug as they seem like pretty good deals sometimes.

I'm wondering if people have any advice on how to go about it as there are a trillion models many of which I like. I suspect two big factors are scratches and comfort. The brick for example seems awesome with the bracelet but that doubles cost and seems like it'd be hard if it doesn't fit perfectly. And the full rose gold bezels are beautiful but I worry I'd damage them and while I don't mind some scratches on my watches, a protuberant well finished bezel like that seems like having an exposed nerve.

So I'm thinking maybe a rose gold case with a ceramic bezel on a rubber strap might be where I'm leaning. But there's one steal model I think is really cool too and is half the price of the rose. I think the 3/6/9 config with the magnified date is my favorite.

Any other factors to keep in mind? Anyone have a favorite model?

What kind of activities do you tend to avoid while wearing mechanical watches? Riding motorcycles/bicycles? Tennis? Shooting? Golf? I tend to be cautious and remove my watch for all of these activities, but curious to see how others wear their watches.
