    Next Seiko

    I currently have 3 Seikos. Skx007, orange monster SKX781k and SKX779. I really enjoy wearing all 3 watches, however I want something more vintage and just need some advice on what to aim for? What is the next step from an skx007?
    Cheers in advance, Gavin

    A nice 6309-7040, 6105, 7548, 7549 to name a few, or maybe a MM300? A modern watch but with vintage Seiko style and roots.

    Yes. Definitely a SBDX001 or SBDC001. For modern models

    I'd consider a Bell-Matic from the early 1970s.

    I do actually like these, especially with the gold on the bezel

    A good Pogue if you can find one, you might have to buy two and put the best parts into 1 watch.
