Reply With QuoteI’m guessing you like Seiko
I had a few batteries to change so while going through the boxes an ideal time for a SOTC post, photos are just quick and dirty so pretty poor but.......on top of this I have about 20 projects of all types but in the main Seiko and also a few that are boxed in another safe, again Seiko's.
My intention is to get down to ten or less but easier said than done but a few year back I was in the 400 mark but sold mainly at watch fairs, traded and given a lot away and sold some of my best to a friend so getting there slowly.
I tend to wear a Citizen Eco drive a lot these days as it looks good and its accurate, I have had a hankering for a SD/SD for some time but in reality I think it would be wasted on me but my son would be happy down the line :)

Not enough Seiko's though...

Thank you so much TigerUK, I have just shown your collection to my wife, who now understands that my own 30+ collection is woefully inadequate!
I love the Seiko Chronographs definitely my favourites. Overall a smashing collection

I remember you as a regular contributor on SCWF, am I right in remembering you had a 6309 project going with members
Is there a story to the personalised bezel insert in the third photo?

I have a square Seiko Nooka that would look good in that box.
Do you have one??
That collection is running a little low TBH.
:)
You remember correctly
Not really I asked a guy to produce me another bezel insert I needed for a mod and he made the personalised ones for me at the same time.
I often toyed with picking one up but never did.
I need it to run a lot lower :)
Lovely John - very Seiko centric (as expected).
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Great collection. What's the reason for the duplicates? Thanks for sharing
TBH mate I never wear it and it's gathering dust so I would have just sent you it for no cost.
But I have just looked on eBay and almost fell off my perch. :D
I might just list it now. :D
I was expecting more 6105 and 6309/6306 watches.
Hopefully you haven’t sold them all
OMG
That is an amazing collection of Seiko timepieces.
Have you got shares in the company
I could never afford to just collect (if I could have my collection would be amazing :) ) I bought, sold, traded etc to be able to buy my next one and I think more fun than just being able to go out and buy what you wanted, for me the chase was often more enjoyable than the actual watch :)
I always show these SOTC posts to my wife to make her realise my interest in watches is moderate contrary to her views.
Impressive collection ...
Exactly the same here, usually by her token 'But they all look the same' Comment
