Let's see your Seikos!

Here's a few Seiko's from my Collection.





I'm waiting for my Mrs to return from HK with my Red Alpinist, bought in Tokyo in Jan 1999. Left it in HK pre-pandemic as servicing in HK is much easier. However, with the pandemic and Covid Quarantine rules into HK (3 weeks Hotel) I won't be returning any time soon. So asked the Mrs to bring it back to the UK and see what to do with it here. Looking to get it serviced and a new crystal at the minimum.

One day a GS will be mine, but only a 38mm one because the 47mm lug to lug of the 40mm cases is not to my liking!

For now... Alpinist:

That's a great dial.

Here’s my little collection of old uns. I love the style of these old Seiko’s I think they still look great and a bit different.

That’s a nice group.

I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on my Pogue, haven’t seen it in person since I had it refurbed. Not too much longer to wait now.

Not new, or new to me, but recently returned from a service by Joe Horner:

I've gone monochrome, you've embraced colour!

I've wanted one of these for so long. I nearly bought one up at a car boot once but the seller was so rude I walked away. Regret it.

They're very comfortable. This one even has a spring loaded section in the bracelet so it has a bit of give in it. Hope you spot another one.

Me too! Very cool. Have you had it long?

[RicksAlfas]

Had to look back. I’ve had it since 2013.
Where does time go?!

Right! Let's bring down the tone a bit in here. As most in this thread know, I got an SLGA007 the other day, but on the same visit I picked up this:

Zoro Seiko 5 by Alex D, on Flickr

It's a limited edition 'One Piece' watch. There are 6 or 7 of these I think, and this one is the 'Zoro'. One Piece is a long running anime and manga series, I've been reading it for about 15 years, and it's pretty important to me. I was tempted to get all of them, but this one is enough. Seiko 5 watches are expensive these days! But they've also had a fair bump in quality.

Cheers. 1976 I think.

Saw one on a grey NATO on YouTube and thought that looks great. Not a fan of NATOs so got a faux suede strap from AliExpress.

I'm well chuffed with how it softens the watch and the grey picks out the grey on the bezel perfectly.
