Seiko

If I had to own one Seiko, that would definitely be this one. Seiko 47 mm case, manual movement, onion crown, for the WW II Japanese Pilots: Pictures shamelessly stolen to Ebay. How delicious is this one. Which surprised me is how close it is to the Longi...

I am sure the Seiko guys will give us more informations on what is correct or not. Best, Nicolas

Seiko's are great watches. My first watch was a seiko. Given by my mom when i was 9. Thats around 40 yrs. ago. Post pics in the future. Regards nico. Cheers Geross

we have the same Taste. love these 2 pieces..
