Yeah,Grand Seiko is really something.But,that`s not only hi-class line produced by Seiko.You have that amazing Credor line,positioned slightly below Grand Seiko.And most expensive Japanese watch ever is made with Credor logo,legendary Credor Sonerie.
And Credor is also known for their skeleton models,I`ll post some pictures when I find them.

Seiko's are the best buy in watches. I have a 6309 7049 Diver that is my everyday watch. I recived it as a High School graduation present in 1978. Thats 30 years this May and going strong. Jim

I recently bought these two chronographs.
First one is from seventies,and second is recent model.

First one:6139-7069 automatic chronograph
Second:SNA 411 Pilot Chronograph,powered by very reliable 7T62 quartz movement.

vukotab · 12 February 2008, 02:12 AM

I forgot,I finally put jubilee-style bracelet on my Seiko Diver`s Automatic.
It looks great now,I think.

Email - My gut reaction - buy it. Now. Big bang for buck, lots of class... Larry.

JJ Irani · 12 February 2008, 03:26 AM

Value for money? SEIKO might just come up as the world's best watch in that department!!

vukotab · 12 February 2008, 03:43 AM

They`re without competition in that department.
One of my friends got vintage Grand Seiko!
Man,that`s a great watch.Superb quality and finish,on the same level(maybe even bigger)as their Swiss competition.But,GS always was(and still is)an expensive watch!

JimSnyder · 13 February 2008, 03:55 AM

For a $65 bin out of the Bay. I just got it this week. This is all org. and one of the nicest ones I have ever owned;Jim

SPACE-DWELLER · 13 February 2008, 04:07 AM

I love Seiko watches! I have two of them and would never part with any of them.

Seiko makes phenomenal quality watches. Probably the best you can get for your buck in that price range.

Here's my beloved Seiko Sport's 100, given to me as an Xmas gift in 1985. IMHO, one of the most beautiful Seiko's ever made:

This Seiko I bought some years back. Hardly ever use it, but the Kinetic Auto Relay is quite ingenious. One shake of the watch, and the hands tune in on the "remembered" (stored) time after it has been lying inactive for a while:

Besides that, Seiko ranks right among the few manufactories that made everything entirely in-house.

See this sticky by "Padi56" about watch companies.

Had this since the late 80's......

After daily wear the past 3 months, I am very impressed with the 7s26 movement on my Seiko Diver. The build quality of the watch is good. Not a scratch on the Hardlex. Lume's amazing. An awesome tool watch. Highly recommended.

vukotab · 14 February 2008, 11:18 PM

Great watches,guys.
You will be very happy with that Diver`s Automatic,you`ll be surprised with it`s precision.
And what should I say about Bo`s moonphase watch?That must be my next Seiko!

nethskie · 28 April 2008, 09:42 PM

just saw this Black Monster it looks different

Scarface · 28 April 2008, 09:52 PM

Nice thread - even though I am not into Seiko

Seiko:

Great watches. Rugged, reliable and a lot of them have genuine style. I still have a couple of older ones from my youth. They were built to last a lifetime.

I want one of the Spring Drives. What an awesomely engineered marvel.

SLRdude · 29 April 2008, 01:19 AM

Got a couple of Seikos myself.

And the Black Monster.

My favorite Seiko is my vintage World Time. I've had it for about 40 years. I recently had it overhauled. It looks/runs like new and will be around long after I'm planted.

stevemulholland3 · 5 May 2008, 07:09 AM

was that a bullhead I just saw?
