Seiko

A while ago Marcus rightfully pointed out that we show our Seiko Presage 60th Anniversary Limited Edition Chronographs (SRQ019 in my case) too rarely (here: the thread). So to ensure no further criticism in that direction here are two recent pictures of ...  

This is such a good-looking watch-just a bit too tall. Nice that your daughter wants it for herself some day. (And that could work out to your benefit both now and in the future, if you play your cards right!)

I am glad you approve As for my kids, now that they are two I started mentally dividing the watches between them and thinking how this would alter 'my collection' - the part I intend to keep much longer

But it also makes me think of a future where I will be able to have fewer watches without letting any go, if you know what I mean. Something that feels relatively exciting to contemplate

But each time I see the dial of this one, I can’t stop thinking to vintage toy cars made in sheet metal such as these ones below. Am I crazy? 😁 Best wishes Alkiro ...  

I never played with these as a child so do not have any associations. But I can see where you are coming from I have been more the Matchbox and Majorette (spelling?) type when I was a child

I know that’s strange but this dial and these embossed car toys seem to be very similar. Best wishes Alkiro

It does work quite well that way, doesn't it?

Of pterodactyl strap? Thanks for joining in with yours!

Your chronograph looks great, and I also like the strap choice. Unfortunately, I still have not found the time to take good pictures of my Urushi version. Marcus

Looking forward to seeing them when you manage Have a great week Marcus!
