A fine King Seiko watch. I wonder why it seems there is so few on the boards here. Perhaps their owners hoard them...
Can I ask you seiko guys something. I have a couple seikos I really like that I picked up for, in some cases 65 bucks new, it was a special sale on amazon and then others which were a couple hundred. What do you do with these as the years go by? Do you normally spend the cash to service them? I know the answer lay with how much you like the watch I’m just curious if people spend more than they paid for the watch to service it.
Generally at that price you run them into the ground... hard to justify outlaying 3-4x what you paid for a watch for a service, unless some sort of sentimental value gets attached to the watch for you over the years.
Pretty amazing how well the lume has aged on a 44 year old watch
I agree, it helps to think of modern Seiko as two brands. If the watch says “made in Japan” on the back of it then its probably worth fixing.
Damn I just made an offer on a seiko Alpanist. It’s a really nice set, original box and extra bands. I really dig these watches. Such a nice look and nice size. I picked up a skx007 which I’ll probably end up just selling as the alpinist is a better size for me and the ones you guys have look great. I think I probably went to low on the offer but it was the minimum offer he would allow so maybe he will counter with something reasonable. I promised myself no more bids or acquisitions until I sold off a couple things but I’m sure you know how that goes. Really set off to pick up a world timer or pogue but the pogue went before I made the offer and the world timer is making me hesitate as I just have feeling it may be a redial even though it’s just a couple numbers that make me think this.
Thanks for this thread by the way u guys always answer my questions and it’s a great thread to learn the better models of seiko
