Let's see your Seikos!
Discussion
I only seriously got in to horology a couple of years ago. Back then if you said I would one day spend >£3k on a Seiko...a Quartz Seiko...then I would have laughed at you.
The gold star at 6 o'clock denotes accuracy loss of less than 5 seconds a YEAR.
In normal lighting the colour is more like the upper left quadrant, it's only under perfect lighting conditions that the rich blue and the pattern emerge.
40mm but wears a bit smaller. Very nice to have a watch that doesn't need winding all the bloody time. Every collection needs a high-end quartz, right?

Quite right. I have a GS quartz and it’s my go to watch now, its so nearly perfect. I just wish they would sort out their date windows - bl**dy contrasting date wheels and that heavy surround ... just doesn’t look right to my eyes.The gold star at 6 o'clock denotes accuracy loss of less than 5 seconds a YEAR.

the serial number on the back says V743-9020, does anyone know how old it might be...?
V743 is the model number, the serial number will be the other 6 or 7 digint number on the back. V743's were made in the 1990's and early 2000's.Depending on the serial number you can narrow it down to a month and year. The 1st number [0-9] denotes the year within a decade, and the 2nd number represents the month, 1=Jan, 2=Feb, 0=Oct, N=Nov and D=Dec.
You need to know when movements were made, so sometimes it is a bit of guesswork.

Anyone out there in the knowledge of Seikos, know anything about one of these, its a "Disco-Burger" from the Moving Design series Ref number:SCBS007. It belongs to a mate of mine who bought it 6 years ago, we have tried to search the net for a value now but cant really find out much about it, so were assuming it might be quite rare. If anyone has any info it would be good to hear from you about this watch. I have uploaded some pictures to show you it, it might jog a memory or two.
Would appreciate any info whatsoever, thanks.

. I'll give you 70 for it though, well above the established value!
