What’s your favourite seiko?

Hi everyone, I started my watch journey many years ago with a seiko 5, despite having many new additions I still wear and love my seiko.

I haven’t put much attention into adding a new seiko watch until now. I’m just wanting to know what is your favourite seiko you own? Possibly your favourite seiko and grand seiko?

Thanks!

Also I have small wrists so any suggestions for furniture purchases would be appreciated!

I would have to say the SLA017 is my favourite, Seiko absolutely nailed it with this re edition of the classic & cool as you like design its a joy to wear & own

SLA017 here. I'm hoping to enjoy the upcoming SLA037 as well if not more.

Hadn’t even looked into this watch until just now, exactly why I wanted to start this thread! Thanks! Please keep the suggestions coming!

^ I'd have to say that one (SLA017), even though I don't own it or have even seen it in person... it looks perfect, better than the Sub in my opinion.

Runner up would be my Lord Marvel form 1965 and/or the new Alpinist (just announced, non cyclops) in charcoal dial (or any of the three really).

Edit: oops, I didn't read the whole post... of the ones I own... back to the Lord Marvel then, runner up being the SRP777 (black dial Turtle).

I'd take an SLA017 over a Sub, personally, and I've owned 4-, 5- and 6-digit Subs. The Seiko doesn't keep time quite as well but is far more interesting overall and costs about 1/3rd the price. Even as a one-and-only watch I'd be more than happy with the SLA.

The Seiko SLA033, "Captain Willard". I like the SLA017 and the SLA025 but the one that really sings to me is the 033.

Someone posted a Grand Seiko diver on the forum back in January. It had a Teal dial. I wish I could remember the model. It was the best looking watch I have ever seen.

I'm newer to the brand, but for many years I always wanted the SKX... I first saw one on my honeymoon in St Maarten. A man was checking into the hotel at the same time we were and I actually asked him what he was wearing .... much to my wife's embarrassment

I happened to hear that they were discontinued back in the spring and decided to pick one up right around the holidays.

I love the way it wears. The lume is outstanding and I cant put my finger on it ... but it just makes me smile every time I wear it.

Sweet Seiko... Was tempted with one of those, but found a Turtle on Sale at my local Macy's at a price I couldn't refuse. I love the Turtle, but in hindsight, I may have preferred the SKX.

Man, it’s a really hard choice for me to pick my favorite, but it might be my SLA 017 on bracelet. I wore it on rubber strap and then tried it on bracelet, and haven’t gone back. But I have lots of Seiko’s that are all my favorite at one point or another.
