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 gets used as it was intended. Especially in the summer heat, the rubber strap makes it the perfect daytime companion.
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 on...

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...
