Seiko

Before describing today's event, a background on the watch matter: my partner and I've been looking around for the appropriate watch for both of us (lucky me, she doesn't like the idea, of an engagement ring, but an engagement watch). First was Nomos, the...  

Can't beat Seiko. Cheers, John.

I started my mechanical watch journey with Seiko, and is a collection that holds dear to my heart!

Congratulations to you and your partner. By the way, your cake looks yummy ;-) Best wishes Alkiro

I think we like exclusivity to some extreme. haha, thanks for the compliment on the cake! miss it so much that we decided to find the recipe and make it our own, turns out great!

Best wishes Alkiro

Awesome! My wife bought me a wedding watch instead of a ring, although it took years for us to have a his and hers (Rolexes first, Omegas later, now working on the next pair).

I'm quite sure you're relieved to know your wife knows you so well, too! Congrats on the iconic pairs, looking forward to reading your post on the next pair! Any hint as to what brand/theme?

But more likely JLCs

She\'s definitely a keeper And so are the Turtles!

Definitely agreed (on her being a keeper), we share many common interests! & that Turtle's her first Seiko, which makes it all the more special (engagement LE first Seiko, haha)!!

Gives you a good opportunity to share and switch, too

Congratulations and best wishes. The watches look great and so does the cake! Regards Kev

Glad you love both our watches and cake! Wanted to share the love for a special occasion with a nice collection of LE Turtles!

and to have her participation and excitement makes it all the better, doesn't it? Cheers, Cazalea

She can now recognize watch models off other guys' wrists, making our people-watching (pun intended) all the more interesting, HAHA! This pair of Turtles definitely are much more valuable (to us) with our back-story!

however, I didn't manage to capture the full spectrum of colors on these phone-captured photos. will try to get better shots on dedicated camera some time soon!

Yes, both my partner and I choice the Seiko Turtles for the very reason that it's so iconic amongst the watch community, while totally understated amongst the layman. Even here on WatchProSite, I see many respectable collectors (like yourself) having the ... 

I recently bought a PADI and was impressed by the build quality and the dial. What a great pair of Seikos you have, congrats!

Yes, Seiko really make these special and limited editions Turtle dials shine radiantly (pun intended)!

I love the new colors, I just ordered the Blu Lagoon, can't wait!!! -TicknTang
