Three Seikos
Hi All
Over the last couple of weeks I seem to have been having a major seiko phase. Have had three of my Seikos up and running an wearing them constantly - nothing else has got a look in, even though there are some great alternatives waiting their turn.
The first one is my ever ubiquitous urushi dialed presage.
It's been a constant companion since it arrived & was the major factor in why I didn't get the blue enamel dial. It now has the battle scars of constant use - which only add to its charm.
The next it my most recent Seiko & my first proper diver, though it never gets wet! It's the reinterpretation introduced last year. Wonderful blue dial. It's the largest watch I own & has some serious heft.
Now that's blue! Great company for an escape to the coast.
The last of the three is vintage & has lots of charm. It also has my favourite complication - an alarm. Yes it's a wonderfully retro Bellmatic - along with a gloriously 70s metallic brown dial.
Still looking great after 40 plus years. Perfect cushion case - which makes it all the more bewildering why I don't get on with a turtle for all their appeal.
All have their own appeal and charm - and show why it's been hard to escape their call for last few weeks.
Cheers

A watch needs to call to you...
And if the Turtle doesn’t, that’s just life. Great trio at any rate - difficult to make it more diverse with three watches
It's the difference between pictures & trying it on
I think it looks great in pictures - it's got great reviews and comments, it's a bit of a bargain & there's loads of choice. I even like how it looks in the shop window - when it goes on my wrist it somehow doesn't gel. I guess there are plenty of other S...
I have that with some watches, too...
Love the concept and pictures but they leave me cold on the wrist
I've been so impressed with it - I've worn it every day since it arrived
The good thing is that it's not a limited edition & it's still being made, so you have time. While I've been struck by some of the recent limited editions, never got one, as I'm not good at making quick decisions & like to see the watch first. That said, ...
