Seiko

Hello dear friends: Just a few days ago I was taking a stroll in a mall with my wife when I spottted a watch which called my attention in a jewlery window. I had seen it some weeks ago in pictures in different web sites when it was launched. It is a Seiko...  

Is it comfortable?

As usual best thing is to try any watch on your own wrist as not only case size is important but also your wrist shape and your personal taste when you view it strapped on your wrist. Thank you so much again for viewing and commenting! Hagwe! Abel

I didn’t know about these two models, old and new. Even though it’s not my personal kind of watches, I can really see the charm of these timepieces and I certainly understand why you like them. Great vintage vibe. Best, Emmanuel

... which is a theme which I find fascinating. Thank you again for your kind message. Best, Abel

Have a nice weekend! Best, Abel

HAGWE 🙏 ...  

... a future purchase to complete "the team". Cheers! Abel.

I was hoping they would stick a bit closer to the original but it’s an interesting piece irrespective 👍🏻

Hopefully someday. As Cazalea says, trying to intuit Seiko strategy is a useless exercise 😉

It’s true! Don’t try to apply Western logic to Seiko’s brand philosophy… My friend Jim’s one-owner Pogue that I was able to restore (and enjoy for several years). Maybe there is hope for yours too. ...  

... own 6139 to its past glory! You did an awesome restoration work with that watch!! Thank you for sharing it here. Enjoy a nice Sunday Mike! Best cordial regards, Abel

... went as an "inspiration" to be applied to their Speedtimer they already had in catalogue with the only change of dial color and bezel. It is an interesting piece as you well say and very colorful and joyful to wear. Have a nice weekend my dear friend.... 

I suppose the fact that a reedition of the Pogue would need a new movement made it less realistic 🤷🏻‍♂️

… we would be talking of a much costly watch. May be some day they decide to take that route. Cheers! Abel

It was made for the sunshine. The details are amazing. Something tells me this will be on your wrist for a while all the best my dear friend, Tony.

... that you like it! And yes, it looks wonderful under sunshine! Have a nice weekend my dear friend. Abel

Love both the original and modern take. Enjoy wearing your new watch!

Shows that watches can still surprise us. Enjoy wearing your latest Seiko and it's predecessor, good to get a new watch you like - but also it's inspiration. Enjoy wearing both old & new! Cheers JML

Agree with your words. I’m enjoying both watches so much! Best cordial regards Abel

Thank you for teaching me! Joining you with mine ...  

Mine says Hello ...

...the Heuer Pandas and to all Pandas in general. Cheers! Abel

It is my pleasure to share my new watch and its original inspiration here. Glad to know you enjoyed the reading. Keep enjoying your beauty so much! Best cordial regards, Abel

Your post inspired me and I just put in an order for a Pogue reissue. I fondly recall that in 1969 at the earliest, or perhaps in the early 1970’s, when I was 8 or 9 years old, the father of a dear friend of mine had a 6139. I was always mesmerized by and... 

You exactly describe my own feelings when I view the colorful golden dial and bezel of this watch. I brings much warmth and joy to the spirit just viewing it. I wish it will bring you so much pleasure as I do when wearing it. Look forward to a post from y... 

Gracias, Abel! I’m so glad to have acquired the Pogue reissue. It really is a wonderful, colorful, sunny watch and in the few days I’ve had it, I haven’t taken it off my wrist. Here’s a shot from yesterday in downtown Denver. Thank you again, mi amigo, in...  

… for sharing your brand new Seiko! It looks wonderful on your wrist and I’m happy to know you are enjoying it so much. I’ve been wearing mine past week and it always brings me a smile when viewing its bright, warm golden dial in contrast with the red-blu...
