Wish seiko would release an automatic version.

Some seikoholics tell me the reason seiko wont is that their automatic chronograph movements are at a much higher price point.

Cant fathom why seiko cant make their own version of say, a Valjoux 7750?

SEIKO 7S26-0020 A1 SCUBA DIVER

 

... SEIKO 7S26-0020 A1 SCUBA DIVER ...

 

Hello. This week I made a deal and finally obtained an alpanist. Not that they are real hard to get I just kept missing them as when they are reasonably priced they move in hours. I’ll put up a picture of it tomorrow it’s too dark here now. Anyway, it’s a great looking watch but this stock band is atrocious. It’s an atrocious uncomfortable faux alligator. Anyway I’m looking now for replacements. I’m open to bracelet, NATO, or strap. Just wanted to see if anyone else felt the same and found a strap they would recommend

 

Which alpinist did you get? The SARB017?

I got a strapcode TT jubilee bracelet to put on mine.

 

Yes should have been specific sarb017. And thank you that is one of the recommendations I read But it was an in an advertisement I wanted to hear real life applications.

 

Ah the classic Alpinist , what a great choice . Had mine for about 5 years now & thought the original strap was not up to much & I've had mine on a number of leather & nato straps but was always looking for a nice jubilee bracelet with SELs ,I bought this one as a aftermarket from the bay & think it really suits the watch .

 

Yes, I really like this watch. Disregard the wrong date Im tracking the time and power reserve as I picked it up used and last night I changed the date by error. Anyway I know it’s not a high end watch but the dial always caught my eye on this. I notice uncle seiko has a beads of rice they recommend for the alpanist which looks way cool on their website so I am narrowing down my choices. These do look good on leather as well. I think I’ve been keeping an eye out for one for the past two months. Glad I finally picked it up.

 

Just welcomed this 6602-8050 in the family,





A brother for this one ....

50th Anniversary piece

 

First wear since summer 2019 for this 7002

 

Just love them. I have a few Swiss pieces but I go back to my Seikos to wear all the time . I love the simplicity, elegance you name.Very unassuming timepieces. Why did I buy some DJ's ( because it is a must in any collection IMO) when I can have this for fraction of the price. I remember the old owner/founder of the Seiko and Citizen Watch Forum( It is now Watchsite and that was where I started learning the craziness ) -Dr. Lee. He said that when he discovered Seiko especially the KS, GS etc, he got rid of all his swiss watches. Would I do it? Probably not but I understand why. They are just fabulous. Here is an incoming one- They call it -Midnight Blue

 

Shucks, why is it so small?

 

One more with my World Time that I am wearing now!!
