Had both years ago. Tuned me in to how cool Seiko's are and what a great watch they make...

Great Chrono collection and very cool UG!
Hey, Matt...glad to see you here.
Will you be giving advice on strap selection?
Since you already have the diver, go for the speedy. As many have said it is as classic a watch as you're going to find. I'm a fan of the vintage Speedys as I find the dials a bit more interesting...
You do see it properly.
No longer have the watch but a friend modded this by taking the cyclops off and re-painting the GMT hand orange. He also kept all the original parts for the purists but I...
Slightly different watch but when I had this Explorer, I really liked it on the gray nato.

Easy one for me. I've wanted an Explorer II for a while and this year I was able to pick up a very nice one with some interesting history. I couldn't be happier.

Love your collection, Jeff! That silver Sharkhunter is very cool and very rare.
As far as I know, there was a period of time when Omega sourced bracelets in Mexico for the Latin America market. Probably as a cost saving measure vs. Swiss bracelets. There's not that much info...
Mine is a '71 145-022. Love the stepped dial and wanted an early one that had moon on the back. And the beautiful patina on the dial and hands really make it. Also a little different on the Mexico...
Simple and beautiful '63 Railmaster...
