One of two early Seiko Quartz watches I bought for peanuts from eBay late last year.
This one is a Silverwave (I always want to call it the Silverware!).
The other's a 3003, but it's having some love and care lavished on it currently.

Nice Seiko's in this topic :-)
A picture of my own modded SKX 007:
Bought the SKX007 on the Dutch Marktplaats.nl
Modded it with the following parts:
-dial
-hands
-Chapter ring.
However I am thinking about modding it again to a more modern look. First want to change the glass for a sapphire version.
Anyone got a saga? Curious what they actually look like? Seem to be their version of an oceanus or atomic citizen.

Rather than start a new thread and following up on my question above, since this is where the Seiko fans hang out - what do people think of this commentary?
Hehe, I think it's a Seiko thing. Their product ranges always seem to be mutating and changing. Confusingly they seem to re-use range names or, at least, re-target ranges over time.
I seem to remember I commented elsewhere on the mystery of Seiko's brand/range naming choices.
I feel that one just has to take it as it is: If you like a particular watch, then fine. If a particular range appeals to you at a particular time then so be it, but don't expect that it will remain static.
New arrival and a quick wrist shot before it goes off for some spa treatment...
My SKX173 - the US version of the SKX007. I like this one much more than the 007 - the triangle, the square indices (also next to the date) and especially the seconds hand suit me better.
I received this recently from a super bloke on this very forum who couldn't get away with it. It's an A914-5010.
I've never had an LCD watch so I'm a little taken with it. I also love it's retro look:
Great mod Captain. I was thinking of doing something similar as aesthetically IMHO it just isn't quite as good as it could be.
This one isn't a bad Mod - about halfway to where I'd like mine to end up: http://forums.watchuseek.com/f29/sei...ck-957832.html
That pmmm mod shows some class :)
This one just rolled in. Me likes...
Love that GS diver ^^^ - just think at 44mm it's just too big - any other wrist shots?
i am really liking the last of the Seiko Brightz in Alansmithee post/link above - the Panda-ish dial Chrono - really taken with that.
Just happen to remember these maids that I used to put up for sale and luckily no one was interested
Got these images from a Taiwan watch forum

Wow! Very of their time, but undeniably cool. In many ways I find such things a bit more interesting than more 'timeless' designs...
My panda. A lot of watch for the money picked it up for about £125 a few years ago. Couldn't do that with an in house Swiss movement. T
