A few years ago I started buying other brands

having basically only collected Vintage Rolex for over 20 years. My good friend Manos introduced me to vintage Seiko's. I had never owned 1 up until about 2 years ago. After seeing some of his nice ones I was hooked. The bullhead was my 1st and I love it. Then came the divers and so on. They are an addiction and inexpensive

I have been enjoying this 1 a lot. Hands down IMHO the best bang for the $ out there

Here are a few of my Seiko Divers

My 2 bullheads 1 is a Coca Cola presentation watch rare I guess?

My UFO a good friend sourced for me

The only other vintage I have is a AP 5402 Jumbo Royal Oak (A series) from 1972/3. The rest are Rolex.

How about an original 1935 Ingersoll Mickey Mouse watch...

bluemartinifan · 21 June 2013, 12:39 PM

Hi Nikos, I am also a fan of vintage Seiko divers. This was a gift from Frogman4me (David).
I keep it in my gym bag and wear it 2-3 times/week - I am fortunate to have it - yes - it's alot of watch

Frogman4me · 21 June 2013, 02:56 PM

Hey Nikos that is a wonderful collection of vintage seikos. I've been into them for quite some time now. Glad to see you enjoying that 6309 Russ, I was honored to give that to you in person :)

MP5 · 21 June 2013, 03:01 PM

Those 8000s and 62mas are outstanding. I have an original 6105-8000, 6309 and 7548

Great watches Nick, I will have to do some scans of my Seiko :-) Best bang for the buck.
I really like the older Longines Chronographs and Omegas as well. M

Thanks for the compliment. Here is another oldie.

Laco B-Uhr (Beobachtungsuhr, Pilot's observation watch). Early 1940's German military watch. Too big to wear (55 mm).

StaceeJaxx · 22 June 2013, 06:14 AM

omega. Though I wear my late fathers Waltham some.

nrecob · 22 June 2013, 06:20 AM

Those Seikos are SICK. Been loving them since the '70's....

GeoGio Greece · 22 June 2013, 08:05 AM

Very nice Nikos. I love these Seikos and all the watches presented here. Am I growing old ?

Vintage Seiko Divers here as well. Living close to Japan, and visiting regularly, it's a pleasure I often indulge in.
