Never :)
Been enjoying the 775 for about a month now. Excellent time-keeping comfy if heavy on the bracelet and Uncle Seiko's waffle.

It is only transient, but this is my Seiko collection as it currently stands.
You're missing a Bullhead.

This has been sitting in the box unloved for ages, put it on a recently acquired nato and am quite liking it so far
That's nice, what model is that?This has been sitting in the box unloved for ages, put it on a recently acquired nato and am quite liking it so far

Have a look later and let you know, came from Argos if I remember correctly though and wasn't at all expensive
Been waiting a while to try a GS.
Now I have one...

Fantastic, been looking out for one of those for ages - would leave to hear your impressions.Been waiting a while to try a GS.

I love the case shape (I like angular cases) and the high quality finish, but TBH my fist impressions of the dial were a bit underwhelming.
At a glance it appears to be flat grey - it just seemed too clean, too clinical?
However, the more you look at the details - the better it gets.
The hands and markers are beautifully polished & the dial actually has a very fine radial texture to it - which is really hard to capture.
Here's a Q&D macro ...
I'll try to get something better when I have more time.
It fits exactly what I wanted - something smart for work & a bit sportier than the non lumed GS models.
It's ideal for (my) work as it's under the radar for most non WIS, but appeals to the WIS in me not only for the 9F movement, but also the fine details.
...& to most people it's... just a Seiko

I am intrigued by the Velatura design. Do you still have it and how well did it perform? I like the idea of a watch being drivable both by sunlight and winding energy. Does the winding energy work as advertised?I can't stop picking up Seikos. Mid price range ones normally and trade bonuses.
These are my 4 at the moment. Samurai, BFK, Sportura World Timer and Velatura Direct drive.
Don't wear them, can't pull myself away from Swiss! I like them though. They are great value for money.
Show yours!

Thanks very much, dial looks fabulous. I really like the grey with red text.I love the case shape (I like angular cases) and the high quality finish, but TBH my fist impressions of the dial were a bit underwhelming.

Another Sumo lover - this time a new SDBC031 version :) A really nice watch so much so, that I probably won't bother getting a Shogun???
I can't understand the criticism on the narrow bracelet - seems totally fine to me??
From my POV the bracelet is very fine and comfortable, and 20 mm feels elegant somehow, but I also think 22 mm would have been just fine since the Sumo is a big watch.Another Sumo lover - this time a new SDBC031 version :) A really nice watch so much so, that I probably won't bother getting a Shogun???

Finally found a strap with hidden seam for my 44-9990 King Seiko at a reasonable price, after I was quoted £700 for the GS strap that comes with the self dater re-issue !!
Ouch. Seiko quoted me £150 for a replacement alligator strap for mine and I thought that was pricey enough.
Waiting to get my father's watch back from Cannop before deciding what do strap-wise (both the GS and dad's are 18mm)
Not too late for a BBQ

yes..I never like Seiko's originals...even in those re-issued Turtles....sorry, while I think Seiko is going to fade them out as well.
