Ive seen a number in person. Really gorgeous. Almost tempted to buy one.

 

KS 1st Gen

 

Seiko 5 Arabic

 

A new arrival, only the second Seiko in my collection, joining my 62mas.

 

A pair of sea urchins, alpinists, cocktails and king seikos.

 

What does everyone think of the new Seiko 5 Sports line?

 

New to me on Monday , absolute bargain of a deal from Macy’s & came with both bracelet and Rubber strap . 20% off with additional 25% off , so came out to $740 or £593 .

 

Twin incoming

 

Very nice, Im creating an Seiko batman mod for the SKX007 right now.

 

Grand Seikos were always an interesting brand but never interesting enough for me to buy. I understood the interesting spring drive movement. There were some interesting finishes. But overall, the design was too similar to other dress watches for me.

Then the SBGK005 came out and it just struck a chord. Asymmetric dial. Manual wind. And this super thin case with a bubble crystal. Just absurdly interesting.

So here we are. My first Grand Seiko. Cheers.

 

That is a gorgeous piece. I’m going to have to look harder at Grand Seiko. So far I’ve been infatuated by their divers.

 

Congrats! I tried one on at an AD a few weeks ago and it's just stunning. It's also way above my budget, but maybe one day...

 

Absolute trash, if this garbage replaces the SKX I will have lost some faith in the brand. The new logo is also kinda ugly and won’t age well

 

Zimbe 11

 

Grand Seiko Automatic GMT SBGM221 with Box and Papers
$3,150


Compared some prices on the web, $3150 appears to be good price. HQMilton for the Seiko fans.

 

If this were on bracelet, i might have considered it. I like my GS on bracelet.

 

Seiko SPB079J1 ,

 

Well that lasted less than 24 hours. When HQ has none Rolex items they have good deals in my estimation

 

Japanese whisky and seiko

 

These are the Seikos that are not buried in my closet and are in my rotation. By my latest count I have 3 Seiko SKX put away, 2 Seiko Turtles, 1 PADi solar, and 1 Seiko Astron Chronograph. My 1970’s Seiko 5 lost it’s crown and is with the others, and I traded my Seiko with “deep blue” style dial and now regret that.



These are also in my rotation - 3 bottles of Yamazaki 12 yr, 3 bottles of Hibiki, 2 bottles of the Hakushu 12 yr, 2 bottles of Nika Coffey grain, 2 bottles of Iwai, and 2 bottles of Toki. I gave my Kimiki to my son since the cedar smoke reminded him of his visit to Japan’s shrines in January.


Whenever I open a bottle I'll usually buy a spare right away so that I don’t have to ration it by being afraid of running out, since Japanese whisky got to be a bit hard to find in the past year. But then as I expanded into more types of Japanese whiskey it meant having at least 2 bottles of everything until it got out of control.

I only have 1 bottle of Glenlivet and Dalwhinnie since they’re so easy to find, along with a Glenlivet and Glenmorangie sampler box. It’s the easiest way to get my son to come home from college for a visit, by sharing the whiskey, not the watches.
