Is that a strapcode bracelet on that Alpinist? It looks fantastic!

My favorite is this new Marinemaster, also on a strapcode bracelet.

It’s worth picking one up

The SKX013 is my favourite, I still wear it more than my Rolex and at 38mm it fits me better than my 007.

This is my only Seiko. I love it. For all my watches I always think “this could be my only watch and I’d be happy.” This one is no different.

I’m intrigued by the baby turtle. Have never seen it in the metal, but photos I’ve seen look incredible

SLA021 is the apex predator of the non-GS models.

I love my Seiko Samurai SRPC93 Save The Ocean. I love the unique angular shape of the case, I love that the bezel and crown are darker colour than the case, I love the dial (bezel insert could be better though) and on a dark night you could almost use the lume as a flashlight. I’d be camping outside of the Seiko store to pay Grand Seiko prices if they would do a Samurai watch with Grand Seiko bracelet, movement and finishing.

Easy for me. My one and only. Alpinist on a ginault adjustable bracelet.

Ditto. I have about 18 vintage that I love over anything modern. I need to group them all for a photo shoot.

This one - KS4420-9990 Chronometer.

It's just so perfect: the dead brand, the proportions, the *only* KS with a gold chronometer lion medallion, the one watch becoming another (----> GS44), the unique arrow seconds, the future of the movement, the exquisitely detailed simplicity of the design...

I'm still hoping that Seiko uses the 60th anniversary of GS to re-release new recreations of some of their greatest hits. New, warrantied versions of these timeless classics would have me hammering on the doors their stores...

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.

I agree with this 100%. I’ve had my 009 for almost 5 years, it’s been everywhere with me. I love swimming and snorkelling with it. It’s a watch I will always keep.

I wish they'd just kept the SKX as-was, and dropped in a the newer, hacking, manual-winding movement. Such a great watch and the new Prospex/5 replacements just don't hit the right spot...

There's a certain charm to the SKX ... shake, rattle and roll

Loving mine and wearing it today

I just received the SLA035 and am in a honeymoon phase. Probably still the SLA033 but the SLA035 is taking a lot of wrist time now.

Sarb017 Alpinist. My first mechanical watch, its what made me like watches. Will never forget when I took it out of the box, flipped it over to look at caseback, then flipped back to the dial and the second hand was moving. Then I stared at the green dial for like 5 minutes in a sunbeam.

This is my recent favorite Seiko (that is not a GS)

Its really great for daily wear, comfortable enough even for smaller wrist size, decent lume.

This Seiko Presage. I’m someone who likes simplicity in watch dials and this is just perfect.

My Lord Marvel 5740-8000, beating at 36,000 A/h.

It's a shame I already sold it at very low price, only $250 :(
