These are so comfortable on the wrist. A Seiko strap that you don't automatically take off and replace before you even set the correct time! A beautiful watch. Wearing mine right now.

Thanks for your words. Yes, it is an unusually nice strap for a seiko. Was planning on a hirsch performance strap for it, but will see how this goes first.
New arrival
I've owned (at varying points throughout this bloody hobby) a few Omegas (x3), a few Precistas (x4) Steinharts (x2) Invicta, Tissot (x2), Orient and a fair few others yet I quite happily return to Seiko like a moth to a flame.
I have other priorities that mean I can't justify spending over £500 on a watch. I've looked at pre-owned more "expensive" makes but I feel I'm buying the brand rather than something that I would actually enjoy.
Whereas I found my SUN017 via a WTB on here and for me it's (almost) perfect. I haven't seen the cobalt blue bezel or chapter ring on many other watches let alone any other Seiko models. My only criticism is that in some lights the yellow gmt hand can be confused with the hour hand.

Thanks Gav but I'm clean out of internal organs....

Latest acquisition.

My new Shogun SBDC029 arrived this afternoon. Popped it on the Crafter Blue rubber for now. Good job I didn't order a Sumo curved end strap, I never gave a thought to the Shogun being 22mm wide between the lugs. I was a bit worried about authenticity, but I guess this must be a genuine Seiko as the chapter ring is out of whack as usual!

I have several, but wearing a Monster 2nd gen today. Amazing value for the money. And with the bracelet it feels indestructible.
My Seiko Shogun SBDC007
Fantastic watch. Just got this last week.
It's going to replace my black Gulfmaster G-shock. Totally different league.

Thanks Mario!A truly spectacular find if you ask me...
I was not actively looking for one but when a full set in good condition from a good seller suddenly appeared it was a very easy decision.
My newest Seiko acquisition. Bought it to mod to fff, but not sure if that will ever happen.

Brining this back to life at the moment
My latest acquisition:
Always wanted one, and this one runs really well and has the perfect face/case colour combo for me.
Picked up this Seiko 5 SRP551 K1 on a recent holiday in Tenerife, a nice blue face and pepsi bezel a good holiday watch with the hacking 4R36 movement. As a bonus it is running +1 second/day.
Buffed up okBrining this back to life at the moment
Lookin' good Paul! :)
These arrived yesterday
7548-700B, The hands and bezel insert are replacements and not original but should be an easy fix.
7548-7000, this one will need some tlc to get it running
7546-700C, purchase for spares for the 7548's but running nice
7546-8021, also for spares and running, but I think I will pop the movement and white dial in a 6309 case.
7C43-700A, picked up at a local auction. Came with the original box, strap & booklets.
Just the 1

I don't remember if I've ever posted this and don't feel like searching to find out, so here it is now (or again, as the case may be).

That looks awesome! I assume it's some sort of limited monster? Not seen one like that before.I don't remember if I've ever posted this and don't feel like searching to find out, so here it is now (or again, as the case may be).
Rob van Herpt at Monsterwatches in the Netherlands builds them, or at least did at one time. I believe the white dial was borrowed from the SZEN006, a limited edition released in Thailand(?) from a few years ago.
Other than the white dial, it's a standard issue 2nd gen Monster running the 4R36.
He still shows them on his web site:

Mine is in the shop for a block coil replacement. A H558 5000 dive watch. Original owner and used it for its intended purpose, swimming and diving.

But not for telling the time. :)
Nice watch!
Thanks. Fingers crossed all it needed was the coil.

Looks great! enjoy :)Just arrived today. Very nice.
My latest. I found the SARB033/5 wasn't really doing it for me. I nearly went for the limited edition but I'm glad I went with this one in the end, particularly given the price (although it came from Japan and not "Amsterdam" as advertised by the shop on EBay)
Did it get caught for VAT?
It's very nice, by the way.
Thanks and no, it sailed through, Japan to the U.K between Friday and Monday
That is simply stunning.Snowflake
Still my favourite GS.
