my second seiko in as many weeks and to think i used to think they were just cheap dodgy jap crap
i was a fool back then
Just arrived here, the SRP717K, lovely dark green dial, very subtle!
That's very nice, where did you get it from?
Today's Arrival
One of these on its way to me. Rather looking forward to it.
The guys.....
the one in the bottom right corner was bought with my first pay packet.

I've not posted this one in a good while...
SKX 007 MERC TRAVELLER:
NE15
Signed Crown
Triple-Grip Bezel
Drilled Lugs
Superdome & 12 Hour Insert
Merc H/M Hands
Strapcode & MM300 clasp
Oh and the drilled lugs!!
Cheers Matt I've been waiting for a decent dark mercedes hands set for a while to bring a bit of my favourite Sub DNA to the 007. And thought I would bring the Superdome to this one at the same time.
I felt more comfortable with the departure in main due to having the 7548 as original as they come.
Do you still have your SKX?
New in yesterday courtesy of Hammond (still have to leave a H&V )
And this
I'm not what you'd call a Seiko "fan". Never bought one for the brand name, and certainly don't collect them. And yet with the addition of a SKX007 to the fold this week, I did a quick inventory and it turns out I have nine of them. None of them particularly collectable, desirable or valuable; none you could call a classic, possibly excepting the newest arrival.
The light is a bit dim for photography in NW Leics at the moment, but here are three of them:
An ana-digi, acquired in 1986 or 1987:
A digital I saw in the window of Austin Kaye in 2000 (I think it was £25 or so):
An automatic I bought in Derby in 1991. Still on its original strap.
Just got a Seiko SUN021, aka the Kinetic Tuna GMT. Bloody huge, it is. Not too unwieldy to wear though... :)
Sorry about the naff smartphone photo, no decent camera at the minute.
My recently acquired SBBN017 Tuna with sapphire crystal upgrade and non std torx screws on one of Eddie's 22mm NATOs

Most seen Seiko after the SKX series?
My mid size 4025 from the early eighties with custom 31trum strap. Lume is faded on dial and just about gone on hands, new crystal and bezel insert. Crystal was hard to find in good condition, first one NOS had strange spots that wouldn't polish out.
Photo was a sort of EDC for the strap maker as that's one of his wallets.
My daily wearer, I like it as its not huge on my skinny wrists and it hand winds too
My Neo/Mini/Baby Monster I sold, but have a "real Monster" now, which I have (had) modded (see the appropriate thread: http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...-watch-somehow!)
BTW: A mini Monster is just as big as the real deal..
I had no idea! These GS Divers are amazing!! Just awesome in ever way.
The guys at SalonQP were all over it too! Awesome.
