Seiko Speedtimer

[Bob_Defly]

I've been after one of the V192 powered speedtimers for a while now, trying to decide between the classic pandas 911 vs 813, when these two popped up.

The ltd edition SSC937:



And the new 'Pogue' SSC947



Now I really can't decide!

What are your thoughts? Anyone own either?

I've been considering buying the automatic version of this watch but maybe in a few months as I've blown my watch budget for 2024. Given the choice, I think I would go with the bottom one because while it looks retro, it also looks original. The light blue looks a lot like a blue face daytona.

Which auto? I know there are some cheaper ones, and some pretty expensive.

The automatic version is probably on the more expensive scale.

I really really want to love that Pogue but I think it would have been just perfect with sunburst orange subdials...
Feels like they skimped out there.

The 3 sub dials are the Solar cells if I recall correctly.

Possible, never seen a Seiko Solar without "solar" on the dial though!

The fuel gauge on the bottom dial is a give away
