Took those a few minutes ago.

I really love this watch. Did not care for it a bit on the SS bracelet, but the leather strap 100% changed its personality.

JJ Irani · 12 November 2007, 09:03 AM

WOW!! Great stuff, Chip. Brilliant camera work and lighting effects as always!!

Alcan · 12 November 2007, 09:39 AM

Chip, that watch is absolutely elegant and you caught it perfectly.

Paulie · 12 November 2007, 12:33 PM

A SpringDrive is on my list of must haves. I love the "escapement".

AZDAYTONA · 12 November 2007, 01:45 PM

Thanks Mike, but I have got to ask... Why not? They make a fantastic watch. True... with an MSRP north of USD 3.5K and limited discounts, many other brands can be had, but trust me... Seiko can hang with the best!

Or rather the lack of! LOL

SPACE-DWELLER · 13 November 2007, 01:01 AM

Great watch and pic, Chip!

I really like your taste!

Andad · 13 November 2007, 05:09 PM

Yes, the white stitching sets it off very nicely. Excellent combo.

Attila · 13 November 2007, 05:50 PM

That is a great looking watch, really do like it!

Great pictures as well, thank you.

SLRdude · 14 November 2007, 04:58 AM

Thanks guys!

In case you are wondering, here is how it looks like on the OEM bracelet. (which I have, but never use)

Pics from TZ and Seiko

You have 2 of my must own watches, this one and the TI SMP on rubber.

I love this spring drive!

Since we are both in Dallas, we can always meet one day and you can check it out. I bet there aren't too many of those around. Seiko only made about 100 in each colour.

I've never seen one,

Where did you get yours?

SLRdude · 14 November 2007, 04:04 PM

About one year ago or so.

vukotab · 17 November 2007, 08:53 PM

That is an elegant and wonderful watch,Chip!
I would buy it myself instantaneously.Unfortunately,they still don`t sell them here in Serbia,so I must be satisfied with this one!
Best regards.

Nice work Chip.

I am myself homing in on a Spring Drive... saw a pic of a Diver but from what the website tells me, it ain't around anymore, not new anyway. Have you every seen one?

I love the black face model you show from TZ.

Perdu · 25 November 2007, 07:06 AM

Great photography. I agree that it looks really slick on that alligator strap.

dman · 25 November 2007, 01:27 PM

Great watch, just awesome pics!!
