Another Casual Observation........
I see a lot of Seikos here. I understand the GS line is pretty nice and I'm amazed at some of the prices I see for them. I want to start of by saying absolutely no offense to anyone on here who owns one.
I'm just not sure I could picture myself wearing one without always looking down and thinking I am wearing a $100 quartz Seiko form one of the big box stores. Nearly every Seiko I've seen since my childhood has been one of those. I could however wear one of the divers watches as a casual weekend watch. I know this is a mental block on my part and I should abide by the adage of "don't knock it until you try it"
One more mental block, I prefer the winding stem to be at 3, vs. some being at 4 on some of the divers watches.

Try one of these
Stem where you want it, looks great, feels solid. Then try a Presage - and your Seiko doubts will fade away. Then you’ll be chasing after a GS. Cheers, Cazalea ...
Very valid observations
and exactly the reasons i didn t go for it ,it s not possible to sell the same brand for 100bucks and for 50k ,it failed in the car industry it fails in the watch game too .Appreciate and respect the brand seiko from the bottom of my heart even i know the...
Indeed but a lexus is even a better example or
Rolex/Tudor ,selling to the masses is tempting just not under the brand name what you want to marketing in higher end category. Back to yr example ,do u remember for the phaeton from VW ,it was great engineering but doesn t sell due to the logo .Bmw has s...
Not all Seikos are created equal
I would never think of parting with my vintage (1983) diver. Partly because I love the size, weight, and feel of it on my wrist and partly for sentimental reasons as it belonged to my late father-in-law. I have taken it on vacations to Greece so it even g...
Then its not for you...
and there is nothing wrong with that. Stick to what you like. S
I'm so glad that I've been able to
overcome this mental block. I'm enjoying my Seiko watches immensely, especially my latest 300 meter 6159-7001 reissue divers and my 62MAS reissue from last year. Love the history, love the design, love the technology, love the quality, and yes, even at th...
That’s fair, and I understand your position.
I don’t see it the same way, although admittedly I’m not a huge fan of modern GS. Very few that sing to me, but when I find one I won’t have any hesitation. In the meantime I’m happy with some older stuff. ...
The choice is always yours :)
And there is nothing wrong with appreciating, or failing to appreciate a particular brand. Or appreciating it but deciding it's not for you It is certainly not a default choice...
