    Show your Seikos.

    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!

    They're nice, this doesn't get much wear but I like it nonetheless:

    The watch that all but stopped me buying watches. It's almost my only watch.

    Gotta love a Monster:



    A modded one:



    And a rare one:



    And a couple "in transit"!

    Just these three for now, although I've owned about twenty five others through the years. The last one I built myself from some spare parts.

    A topic I can contribute to, this one!

    First off, my current Sportura trio. The Honda F1 is a brand new arrival, the yellow/black model was bought by accident and now back on e.bay (wanted the lime green one).




    A handful of 7t32 chronographs. I've sold a few, traded some others but these superb little 4 button chrono's will always have a place in the collection in some form.




    A pair of Seiko Boss Kinetics - black is now sold and the white one is probably on the way out...though I am in talks to buy an Orange one!!!




    Another newish one in, silver dial Arctura Kinetic. The third one of these I've had! Lovely looking watch, just awkward.




    I've a few other kinetic divers, but here is an absolute fave and one bought from this very forum! New glass fitted, running like a dream;





    I could keep going all day, I have about 30 Seikos at the moment, but those are the pick of the bunch.


    Oh, and a Pogue on the way - my first one (never been a huge fan to be honest) so watch this space.

    I am ashamed to say that I have never really given Seiko watches much 'time', my Dad gave me two dive watches from I guess the early eighties and I use these exclusively for DIY and gardening. This thread has many fine examples and it is obvious that the vfm is exceptional, I rather like the 55 fathom watch as I discovered the Blancpain price is way out of my league!

    The other watch is another 7S26, -0020-660075.

    I saw a variation of this in John Lewis yesterday. It looks even better in person and I was very tempted to pick it up. Agree with the OP, at the prices they are it could easily become a habit :)

    Not had this that long but I sure am attached to it (SARB035). Strange because my preference has always been very strongly Seiko's divers.

    They do look good with a domed sapphire fitted.

    I too bought one recently and love it, great size and feel, pity about the clasp on the bracelet, but I can live with it. I see you have put it on a colourful NATO.

    Can't beat a good Seiko. With the wealth of replacement parts available, you can always mod them if you tire of the look. For example, mine went from this...



    To this...

    Took a punt on an internet sale with dodgy photos. I didn't know much about the 7548 but after a bit of research I discovered that it has a bomb-proof quartz movement in a classic case.
    Anyway, the watch arrived and I couldn't be happier. The case in in perfect nick, not a mark on it (hard to show in photos just how clean it is) and the movement is running strong, second hand hitting the markers spot on.
    Picked this up for the equivalent of 60 quid! Sorry, had to mention that.

    On the case back it is marked with a dot on 1984 which i think signifies first battery change, so I guess the watch is 1980?
    I think I'll get this in for a service a change the seals. The crown doesn't seem to be sitting right when screwed down, it's just a bit high.

    Initially put it on a rally strap.


    And then on a NATO because a dive watch shouldn't really be on a rally strap.

    Looks like a good catch- the serial number will reveal the production date

    I didn't know that.
    Serial number reveals production date of October 1981.
    Thanks!

    A photo of my gold pair of 6139's; One from 1974 (6139-6012) left, the other 1972 (6139-6015) right. There are subtle differences between the two.

    Recently purchased from messym (Mel) , my Seiko Alpinist sarb017.

    My favourite vintage Seiko chrono, the 6138-3002.
    Measuring 42.4mm without the crown is a great size for my wrist with a stepped minute marker giving some depth to the dial, applied Seiko logo and a flash of yellow is spot on for me.

    Superb - this was my first vintage and I feel it is such a great design. Was smitten so much I had 3 at one point! Alas the bracelet was a hair puller and I ended up keeping my first one. An old pic of mine...

    The Darth has been a perfect holiday watch so far having taken it scuba diving several times in the Cenote caves and open water, and also doing double duty poolside with the cucumber mojitos :)
