From L-R : Marine Master 200 SPB207J1 / Marine Master 300 SLA023J1 / "Captain Willard" SLA049J1 "Naomi Uemura edition" I like them because they have a strong character with a real pedigree ....and they are fun to wear ...without breaking the bank !! Best,...

Some real Seiko beauties there. A few from my collection. ...
