Seiko SRP777 purchase

Just picked this up today. First impressions are fantastic. Whilst I love all my higher end watches, I’m an absolute lover of all things Seiko, especially the lower end. I don’t think you get beat them!IMG_1596.jpg

You can’t beat them. Nobody makes a better watch for the money, and you are getting a full in house watch for the price of a night out in town.

Enjoy it! Love all my Seikos. Taking 2 Seikos, an Orient and a Casio on an upcoming cruise. Leaving the heavy artillery home.

I have a 779 that I picked up some time ago from a local store I was in. I love wearing it just as much if not more than my others that cost thousands more. They are just fun daily beaters.

Thanks for all the kind words. Often makes me think why we put our aspirations and money into some high end pieces when Seiko does it all.
