First Seiko: Presage Starlight Acquisition

After 30 years of collecting, Watchonthewrist makes his first Seiko purchase, a Presage Starlight, influenced by the WatchProSite community and fellow collector KMII. This post marks a significant milestone for the author, illustrating how forum discussions can broaden a collector's horizons and introduce them to new, highly regarded brands.

Although i am collecting watches for 30 years now i have never owned a Seiko before . It was never on my radar as a Collectible brand until i became a member of this Amazing forum . I started reading more and more your great Seiko treads and realize what a great brand it is . Thanks to you all and espacialy my friend KMII who is a big time watch and Seiko collector imo i went to a Seiko Boutique in my country yesterday to find out that they had one Presage Starlight left .
When i saw it in person i knew i had to have it . So may i present to you my First Seiko (and definitely not my last one

I thought your first Seiko will be the Presage Email.. But then I remembered that you told me in Paris that the first one will be the normal Presage with blue dial. But it is also a limited edition Model? Now I am confused a bit... Soon I will get also my very first Seiko... Friendly Yours, Adam

Glad if I was helpful in some little way and happy that you managed to get yours It's certainly a watch truly dominated by its dial and what a dial it is! Will write more on it at some point, when SIHH and time generally allow
