The first Seiko in my collection

**Alan C** · 26th August 2017, 19:43

The Seiko Samurai Blue Lagoon that I acquired the other day arrived this morning.

This is the first Seiko piece in the collection.

Tried it on, and even before I have adjusted the bracelet, I love it. This one is definitely a keeper.

Congratulations a real beauty, enjoy it.

**RAJEN** · 26th August 2017, 21:18

Samurai in any version is a winner. Well done.

**asteclaru** · 26th August 2017, 21:29

Very nice indeed. Enjoy

**jimmyt** · 26th August 2017, 21:57

I bet it won't be your last, awesome watch, enjoy!

**Damo** · 26th August 2017, 22:51

Lovely watch, how long until you add another Seiko to your collection? :)

**waiteu2** · 26th August 2017, 22:58

Really want to like these but the hour hand puts me off.
Dial colour is tempting though.

**Filterlab** · 27th August 2017, 07:24

A lovely example of legibility and sense. I love Seikos, not had one of these though. Looks cracking. Enjoy!

I know the feeling !
Got a blue marine turtle a few weeks back, green Asia now on the way and already looking at getting a SKX007 to do a few mods.

**Tazmo61** · 27th August 2017, 10:02

What a nice start , very nice choice , enjoy .

**Alan C** · 11th September 2017, 19:42

Put a blue Colareb strap on it today while I'm waiting for some NATO straps to arrive. I think it looks quite nice.

Very nice... but you're on a slippery slope now!
So little time, and so many Seiko's.

Tell me about it. Bought another one as a beater watch within 2 days of this one. The wife has started pinching that one!

Love it

**OHG1X** · 11th September 2017, 21:41

That's really nice.
Excuse my ignorance, but can you buy them in the UK ? Had a peep in a couple of Retailers, seen a Turtle and a Tuna, but yet to spy a Samurai.

I bought mine from a UK bricks and mortar retailer, they had two. Was told it was very limited.

I love Blue dials and this one is a stunning.

I will post a picture of mine.

This one was limited to 6,000, and were supposedly sold out.

They have released non-limited edition black, blue and Pepsi bezelled ones. The black I've seen over here, but not the others yet.

Saw a black one in John Lewis in my town on Saturday and in the shop I bought my blue one.

Love Seiko's.

**alphajet** · 11th September 2017, 22:12

I do like a blue watch, looks good.

**Mike2500** · 11th September 2017, 22:20

Looks lovely. I am very tempted by the Seiko Turtle with the red and blue (Pepsi) bezel.

Really nice. Love the chunky crown

**Ryan1984** · 12th September 2017, 13:46

Great start with the Samurai, excellent VFM and build quality.

**Toddy** · 12th September 2017, 13:55

Great looking watch, very tempted to try and get hold of one myself. Anybody got one in black?

That is lovely , I think the samurai is a reissue of an old model also named the samurai . I’ve tried to keep up with new Seiko models but they come so thick and fast it’s hard to keep up

I have One, great watch.
Was happy to have found One in stock fairly locally, then when I got to the till the shopkeeper announced they were having a special 25% off day and promptly knocked 25% off the price !!!

Now that doesn't happen very often !

It was a One off, sorry !

How does the samurai compare to the sumo , not sure if anyone has owned both or handled them both . They are very close in price and the sumo also comes in blue

**seikomatic** · 25th October 2017, 02:58

the polish, finishing, weight and comfy, not to mention the movement..everything is one level up.

The Sumo is on a higher level, the finish especially is much nicer. Also you have upgraded movement. Style wise they're very different, on a personal level I think the Sumo feels and looks like a much more expensive watch, and one of Seiko's real triumphs. The Samurai reissue is more on a level with the reissue Turtle.

**Tazmo61** · 25th October 2017, 14:54

Very nice . I bet it's not the last Seiko , congrats .
