My Seiko Collection

I have been a Seiko owner for several decades and have typically stayed with one or two models at the lower end of the price spectrum. I would wear a watch for a while and when I tired of it, I would sell it to a friend, give it away as a gift or put it on ebay. Without a lot of money tied up in them they are just fun watches. I even bought the Digital Tuna and like it. What I have found is that the more I learn, research and wear my Seiko's, the more I like and respect the brand. Several years ago I would have wondered how you could justify a Grand Seiko purchase but now I know. The Grand Seiko's are great watches and while I only have one, it will not be my last. My collection trends toward divers and I do not know where I will go next with Seiko but I am having fun with them.

Great collection congratulations, have you considered any other Grand Seiko? Maybe a high beat?

Sweet collection. I really think Seiko is the funnest watches currently to collect. I stray towards the higher end of them but I have an skx also, so it’s fun all the way around.

Amazing collection, William. I love your LE Springdrive; that dial is something else. I have been looking more and more into GS and think one may be my next purchase. How is the quality of the bracelet compared to a Rolex?

Great collection! I’m on my second one now in the space of about six months! Started with the snowflake and now have the 203. Both amazing their own right. I cannot say that I will not acquire more

Great collection! I have not made the leap to GS yet, but we are going to Japan in September, so I believe I will test my international negotiating skills....

Go to yodobashi or bic camera, ask for tourist 8% tax free discount and pay with visa to get 5% extra discount... of already discounted watches... only problem you don’t get limited models

You do sometimes! I purchased my sbgn007 from Bic Camera in Shinjuku and it is a xxxx/1200. Plus the boutiques had sold out, and I got to choose from 4 serial numbers. They get their hands on some amazing stock... Plenty of SS Rolex as well!

Thanks for the kind comments. To answer the question about the Grand Seiko's bracelet I would say that it is nice but different from my watches from Rolex. Not better or worse just different. With no on the fly glidelock or easy link system it does not have the adjustability of my Rolex watches but once adjusted properly it does great.
