Or any Sumo, Shogun, Moster or Tuna series. Seiko has plenty to offer. You've just begun the Seiko journey...

 

go chronograph or dress watch. Or vintage.

 

If I were you I'd sell one of them and get an Alpinist, vintage or modern. I'd go vintage for a little more diversity.

 

That's a very interesting recommendation.
I am not familiar with the Alpinist watches but I really like what I've learned so far.

They seem to have changed quite a bit over the years.
I like the modern SARB ones, but I think my preference is for the SCVF watches from the 1990's.
My understanding is the scvf005 is the black dial one, the 007 is the cream dial, and 009 is the green one.

Where is the best place to look for one? eBay? here (OF)? amazon?

I can recommend this article by Fratello https://www.fratellowatches.com/a-look-back-on-the-modern-seiko-alpinist/#gref

As for where to look for one, they pop up in various places, ebay, on Reddit's watchexchange(which is ok if you buy the seller and research the piece, as in any other marketplace) and I have seen a vintage one on OF's marketplace too.

 

Just arrived Seiko SNKL23. Great little everyday watch IMO and a steal at approx £100

 

Had to get one of these on Amazon a few weeks ago. Anybody know when the SNK field/pilot watches were discontinued?

 

I have a 62GS that needs a service, pic below. Are there any recommendations to send it to in the UK please?

 

I've heard good things about the watch guy - https://watchguy.co.uk

 

Alpinist with Uncle Seiko President bracelet. Very comfortable

 

Thanks for that, I have contacted the WatchBloke, if I don't get a reply I shall try the WatchGuy!

 

UK I don't know, but for vintage GS/KS can recommend this guy - lapinist_watchrestoration

 

Indeed, and @Sir Alan or Duncan at The Watch Bloke | Wristwatch service, repair and restoration are worth a look too.

 

Liking this blue

 

Seiko solar tuna with steel shroud

 

5 months later I finally have one, and it is more beautiful than in the pictures, this is going to get a lot of wrist time in the coming months.

 

I would visit a Seiko forum...

 

Time to fess up, maybe I like Seiko a little more than what I have let on. Does this make me a Seikofant?

This really raises my interest in Seiko......
Such a beauty understated watch. With amazing dial.... probably would be difficult to get one though.
