My Seiko Special trilogy for Seiko Saturday
Soon after joining Puristspro in May 2014 I was subject to an intense sensory experience here - namely finding out about and seeing the first Seiko Special in steel for a very long time - the Grand Seiko SBGH035. And while that was not my first Grand Seiko - the SBGX097 preceded it into my collection by two months - it remains one of my all time favourite watches.
Over the years I have managed to add two vintage Specials to complement it - the King Seiko 5245-6000 (a Certified Chronometer, even) and the Seiko Lordmatic 5216-8020 - one of Seikos very last Hi-Beat Specials.
So here are some recent shots of the three.
Seiko LM 5216-8020 for a start. Love the angular case and the linen dial...
The King Seiko 5245-6000 has more rounded lugs and a different linen pattern.
And finally, my point of entry - the GS SBGH035. Zen garden as opposed to linen but so very spectacular to my (admittedly biased) eyes
Have a great weekend everyone and if you’re wearing a Seiko, please share!

Travelling with my GMT tomorrow
---great travel watch. Running it today. Old shot HAGWE ...
Hi-Beat, GMT and that mesmerising burgundy dial - what more can one wish for!
Spectacular piece, that Safe travels!
The LM is my favourite.
Those cases, similar to my 6155 and 6156, those angles, I just look them. So much variety out there in terms of case shape/style in the vintage Seiko world.
There’s most certainly a raft of choice in the vintage Seiko world...
And the case shapes are truly spectacular, like you say Thanks!
