I love those vintage Hi-Beats and the Grand Seikos, very classy. I do kinda dislike a lot of the entry level men's quartz from the mid and late 80's. I think this is where the cheap Seiko stigmata arose from.

 

Ewand, is that Robert Carlyle in your Avatar? Where is this photo from, Trainspotting?

 

Yep, it's Ewen Bremner, Ewan McGregor and Robert Carlyle, from Trainspotting...

Since my name is Ewan, I figured I'd go for the guy in the middle

 

Just added to my Seiko collection with this 1959 Seiko Crown. Nice original condition for a 57 year old.

 

Wow, McGregor must be 20 years old.

 

Yeah, well he was 24, nearly 25 when Trainspotting came out - so maybe 23 or 24 in the shot...

 

My first ever Seiko, 42 mm.

 

Congrats, looks great! Looks like you've started down the Seiko rabbit hole, you'll be browsing vintage GS soon enough...

 

Bought a 6105 in a NEX in country. Currently with a collector. Couldn't bear to wear it after I found it after many decades in a drawer.

 

Feeling regal...1973, 5625-7111

 

Super Seiko Sunday!
Hello from sunny UK.
A trio of 70s seikos which 2 are new to me so if there's any issues please shout up, always learning here.

Grand quartz 9943-8030/20 , aug 78. This has , according to my google research, has a cantaloupe terrain dail?
Then a 4006-6080 Bellmatic , nov 76. Working well and in good shape.
Also a gold cap KS 5625-7110 high beat, jan 71. This and the quartz, obviously, keep really great time.
Now need a GS to finish off.

there's absolutely no shame in a Seiko... It is not a skeleton in my closet, and I still proudly wear them, and will likely add a GrandSeiko in the near future...

 

Here's a vintage GS I own at the moment

 

I just picked up a Turtle reissue to wear as my weekend beater. Presently running at -2 seconds per day... unbelievable value.

 

@Private_Doberman - what model is this? I've been eying the SARB033, but I don't love the 38mm case size.

 

It is the SRPA 25J1 with the 4R35 movement. My photo does not do it justice. Stunning watch on the wrist.

 

I modded my SKX031
Is it blue or faded black?

 

I like the applied hour markers on that dial.

 

The SKX 031 and 033 was Seiko's "homage" to the Rolex Submariner.
I absolutely love mine.
the 033 looks like a Rolex GMT

 

Seiko family... Time Sonar 7015 A
