What makes Seiko special? Why do people with Pateks etc. also collect Seiko? Please explain to me what I’ve been missing in my collecting all these years. What are the most popular Seiko pieces?

Perhaps see my “ruined by my turtle” post, for a small glimpse. Seiko is just like any other watch brand, but at the price point they’re tough to beat. Their iconic dive watches can elicit the same feelings as a Rolex sub. I shouldn’t really be comparing seiko to Rolex, but you’re asking about a holy trinity guy appreciating Seiko so I guess that’s the best I can do.
Buy one and try it out. I have an SRP777 and a grand seiko SBGW231. My 777 is a lot of fun and I don’t care if it gets dinged up.
