I have over 20 watches, mostly new(ish) models but this Seiko is my "best" watch.

My grandad used this watch from new back in 1984 up until 2013 when the display gave out. I always had a fascination with this watch as I'd see it on his wrist nearly every single day and due to the colour scheme it always stood out more than traditional styles like the Casio versions.

I recently acquired this one in immaculate condition, even the bracelet is like new.

Purchased earlier this year for about £35.

Actually, I wanted to stay abstinent in 2024.......but ;-) .... I was missing something hand-wound, not large, no date and from the east ;-)
So this my first SEIKO:



A steel-KING , a hi-beat 45-7000, with hack set and see-through back .




Not a 1st version, but really well-made and not often worn. Reminds me of my Suzuki Katana from the 80ies...


All the best for (hunting in) 2025!!!
