Rad, thanks for sharing, Adam.

I'm a Seiko fanboy but there was plenty in there I didn't know.

BTW, Seiko is also well know in optics, which explains why GS watches have such a clear display. I even have their glasses.

Great post!

H. Norman Schwarzkopf General, U.S. Army, wore a Seiko SKX009 diver on one wrist and a Rolex President on the other. He donated the Seiko to charity, it got $11,000 I think in auction.
