Oh rotate your bezels! biglaugh
I hear you but I tend to set all my bezels to 40 mins past the hour, the minute of the hour my son was born, call me sentimental hehe
I think that's just about acceptable wink

Nice collection, no matter where the bezels are set to.

Still wear the skx007j, j made in Japan.
Cost £175 new about 6 years ago..

Same.
This has become my daily, as robust, not as heavy as a braceletted Breitling (lending itself better for sport / biking etc)
Had it probably 10+yr, never serviced, but sent off today as it is getting now to be a fast runner (picking up maybe 2 / 3 minutes a day !
FYI Only, I'm told that its a 4 to 6 week turnaround for a service at Seiko UK at the mo frown

Arguably one of their more popular watches in the last few years, the Alpinist SPB121.

Bought on the strength of several reviews, and I'm happy with it. Does everything well.



The 5 gets more use though, for the price it's decently made and proving tough, since I wear it just about everywhere.

This Seiko my first, arrived this morning. Changed the strap for a cheap rubber strap and I really like this. Great value for money

Already shared on the Under £200 thread, but why not add here also. SBTR009, part of the JDM SBTR "Spirit" range.

I did dive this week but not with this. It's been used to time how long I've been in for a swim so I don't get sunburnt!

Lovely. Don't apologise smile
I set mine to the hour and minute my son finally left home wink

Not really although it’s an idea.

I was in Asia last week so had some time to browse the Seiko and Grand Seiko (!) ranges at various airport duty free and shopping malls I was in.

I must say their range right now is pretty damn good. Decent variety of styles, and they've dropped some of the weirder "Mitsuoka Orochi" school of Japanese design styles they had for a while.

GS seemed a little bit cheaper than the flagship store in NYC which has never looked like good value.

I think chopped pork should be used as a nickname for this rather than tuna.
