I just bought this insane Seiko. I think general the forum would dislike it, but I am totally in love.
It's a special edition Presage, made to commemorate the Studio Ghibli film 'Porco Rosso' (pig, flys a seaplane, gets baddies...yes, only in Japan!). I love this because it fits my geeky/pop culture nature, but also the general aviation / racing theme. Anyway, I'll use one pic from elsewhere then mine. Sort of mini review. And at the end I'll say why it also feels quite personal...
So why do I love this so much.
1. It just looks beautiful, especially the dial, I like the sort of vintage almost imperfection of the enamel. And the case is really nicely finished, beautiful thin hands and bone coloured hour and minute.
2. Easy to forget how good the 8r48 chrono movement is.
3. The whole package is really luxurious, never seen a Seiko box and stuff like it!
3. It's fun!
4. My surname starts with an 'R' so the crown feels almost personalised. Add to that...
5. It is a limited edition of 600. I do not think many came to the UK. Mine is number 8! And the cool thing is, my birth month is August.
So I am chuffed to bits!!
