Sensational collection! I love the blue ones. They wear a little big on my wrist or I'd have a couple myself. Even the awesome lug-to-lug measurement couldn't take away from the surface contact this watch has on my little wrist. I am in awe though - thats a really wonderful group of them you've amassed. Wear them all in good health.

Nice couple! I miss these two but I have a bullhead and a UFO.
I agree on 6138, maybe I love them more than 6139 because of manual winding and easy daydate setting.

I agree. I got into 6139s first and have 4 of them, but my more recent 6138 purchases are the favored pieces having lived with them for a while now

My next seiko will be the sla037. I’m hoping the prices drop on the second hand market but most likely already appreciating 😝

Have 3 Omegas, but these 2 get plenty of wrist time as well.

I have a quick suggestion... I’m wondering if we might want to have two sticky posts for Seiko... the first for showing pics of our watches and the second for general Seiko talk... a place where members can ask questions and also where we can discuss new releases and such.

It might help grow the Seiko community here on OF a little more and provide some of the knowledge value members get from the Omega and Rolex forum pages.

Here’s my 7546-6060 from March ‘78 on its original bracelet (one of the best integrated bracelets I’ve worn from vintage Seiko):

Lovely, these are some of my favourite daily watches too probably because my dad wore a Pepsi version my entire childhood and it’s ingrained in my memory. They’re the perfect size IMHO.

We could start a WSRUW Today thread...?

I'm surprised how much people like my new-to-me Seiko skx007.
It seems lots of Seiko enthusiasts spot the watch in my various posts on social media.

I assume the skx007 is a "classic dive watch" and not too over-priced, so it is popular with a lot of people.

I was looking for this thread. I was a bit shocked when I saw a rep of a seiko I bought for 65 bucks on amazon during a flash sale of some kind. The rep was poor, it was quartz with a solid back so it would be very easy to pick out but it was being sold on Reddit for 17 usd.

I won’t post a picture of the rep of course but the fact they are repping sub 100 or 200 dollar watches gives me pause.

@bardamu, that's the same watch I had. My dad bought it in Japan, gave it to me on my 14th birthday, and I wore it every day for 20 years. That watch worked in the engine compartment of an MGB, travelled all of Europe, skied, I wore it everywhere. Mine was on a bracelet. It was sent to NY at least three times for full service, it would come back with a new crystal but the watch was never polished, and it showed. The clasp failed due to s stress crack that had gone unnoticed, and the impact against the sidewalk finally did her in.

Hey all. I am just getting into this watch collecting thing and have this Enicar left to me by grandfather. Would love to know more about this brand and this watch in particular. It does run, btw. Need to get it on a band, too.
TIA

I’m pretty sure this is the wrong thread to ask about Enicar , try asking on the other watch thread 👍 . Nice watch though.

Anyone see this yet? It’s technically a men’s watch I think it’s 38.5mm case. They have a pinkish version as well same size. Limited to 5,000. I do kind of like it.
