Reply With QuoteThe BFK is really a piece of work for the money. Great details and it's looking like a king in the flesh. No wonder it's in the Prospex line in Japan.
My first Seiko, an unexpected Silver Wedding Anniversary gift from my Wife, picked with no prompting or hints from me.
I've not had it off my wrist for this last Month!

I really am blown away, I couldn't have picked better myself. It's a had a few positive comments when out and about.Originally Posted by Cornelius
My first Seiko for quite a while.
Bought it on the jubilee (which I don't hate; it's very skinny wrist friendly), but swapped it immediately for a blue Bonetto Cinturini 284. Great strap, visually a perfect clone of the Seiko flat vent 22, but made from much more pliable real rubber.
Great combo the BC just gets better with age, much prefer the Pepsi to the 007.My first Seiko for quite a while.

A 6306-7001, all original :)
And my closest thing to a smartwatch, this Sony Seiko.
Now that's gorgeous. I need one of these.A 6306-7001, all original :)
Thanks for the compliment! Cool fact about this watch, the 6306-7001 is the JDM model of the 6309 divers. It also features a 21 jewels movement with hacking function and not the lower grade 17 jewels movement of the 6309's :) And Kanji date wheel ofcourse!
The 6306-7001's become quite rare.
Waiting to pic up the Ananta tomorrow! The proper One with sides like a sword! Can't wait!

I've just been sorting through my pictures on my phone and noticed I have a picture of each Grand Seiko I have owned so thought it would be fun to document the ones I have owned and sold over the last year and where I have ended up. Until I joined this forum I had never heard of Grand Seiko
It all started with this, the SBGR051.
Then the SBGX061
Followed by the SBGH005 (currently being sold by Wooster on SC for a bargain price).
Then the SBGX117 (will definitely own one of these again. Fantastic watch)
I also briefly had the white dialed SBGX117
SBGA029 (would love to get the titanium version)
SBGE001 (stunning, but for some reason I just don't like red on my watches)
And finally my current SBGJ013.

Thanks. May try Seiko Japan site.
I think my favourite Seiko so far!
Recently purchased, really impressed with it.
Loving my 'bond'
My old Seiko Sumo returned this morning
Looking forward to the arrival of the bracelet off SC.
My old watch I believe. A cracking piece, and one I miss.
I think my favourite Seiko so far!
Here's my latest (and greatest?) SBDX017. I'm very happy to have an MM300 back in the fold again.

This beauty went diving with me on Koh Tao this afternoon and did as expected - extremely well.
This is the watch tracker graph for my Sportura World Timer which is used and abused! None of my "High End" Quartz watches have ever got near this!!!
Wearing this one today though
Autumn 2013, 1961 Sportsman
Spring 2014, 1971 7000-8000
Winter 2015, 1968 Skyliner
Autumn 2015, 1971 7000-8000
These 2 arrived this week.
Cheers

My only Seiko
Manual wind today, same as yesterday.
A lovely piece with a nice behind also...
Just putting this together from some parts I had
6309A case, 007 dial and 7546 Quartz movement
I just need a crystal retaining ring to finish it
Understated elegance..........Manual wind today, same as yesterday.
A lovely piece with a nice behind also...
Lusting after a MM600 again! And I mean lusting!
SRP577
Is this spot the watch?
SRP577
On the windowsill of the upstairs bay window of the cream coloured house slightly in the distance, facing the camera?
It's not a seiko!
Oh lord, I am not a smart man.
Picked up a couple of 7C43 last month, here is one of them.
It has a greenish tint to the dial lume that I've not come across on these before but I doubt it's a relume.
What strap is that please?
This is an amazing looking watch.... Which model is it and is the strap a Hirsch?And a '5':
Counting down the nightshift minutes with my Seiko 5.
But just received my new SKX009 and popped it straight on a strapcode jubilee and i am really pleased.
I already have a 007 on a strspcode Super oyster and the 2 combinations are perfect in my opinion
Strap is a Toshi, super soft.
