My first Seiko, but I'm sure it won't be my last. The quality of the finish is fantastic for the price.

Put it on the Friday thread but deserves a share here.
Thanks Brad, yours is a wonderful example and I’ve had mine well over 10 years and only bought the other one (your watch) as I missed mine so much for the few months it was away at service. The replacement was such a nice example that I kept both for ages before realising they were practically identical and could fund something else if I sold.
I just love this design and the previous model the 7548 and picked up yet another 7548, a 700B from 1978 this week. Not mint but in great condition for a watch used to the full as intended and from the original owner who was able to give the history of where he dived in it. All totally original too even down to the very worn but actually really comfy 40 year old rubber strap.
It’s great fun tracking them down and they won’t break the bank at the moment but prices are sure to rise.
I’ve still got a few models to find before I’m done.
Cheers
Neil
I just have the one.
I do also have an Orient Mako XL also.

It feels just right.
Nice combo, I should really try a NATO at some pointSent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using TZ-UK mobile app
Simply the best watch I've owned

^^^ That dial is very lovely. And it's a (pleasingly) unusual dial layout even for a GS.
53mas on duty for this week.
Yeah, lets lift up the topic a little bit...

Very nice! I have one too, from 1981, still looks almost new.

Samurai in the sunshine a few months back, before all this rain ☔️

Just got this save the ocean Samurai which I had been looking at for a few weeks before giving in.
Have to say I love drilled lugs so off came the bracelet and I have tried on a few straps.
It's hard to capture how nice the dial looks with my phones camera. See if you can spot the shark fins :-)
The bezel also is a highlight for me with it's applied sections.
I have been hankering after a Samurai for a few years now and I'm very pleased I got this

That looks great. Much prefer the samurai to the turtle.

You got one of the shark fins-well done, but there is another fin somewhere.

Quite a few discounts on the Prospex stuff at Simpkins. Think they're decent prices?

Great pics, the GS dial are amazing and the sweeping seconds hand of spring drive..... I can feel a purchase approaching.
This is a bit of a unicorn watch these days and unfortunately I’ve hardly ever used it since I received it about 3-4 years ago as the crystal is scratched and it needs a movement service. I’ll get it done though as the dial is spectacular! The very best of all the 6R15 SARBs in my view.

^^^ Ohhhh lovely.
Any excitement about the news that a new release of Alpinists is due out in early 2020?

Looking forward to seeing the Black and White versions, but no images yet. If there's a God, people will start to offload their old SARB013 and 015s - but I suspect not.
Improvements promised, along with a price hike. It would be nice if they offered a limited edition set of all three together.
