Great theme dear Art and you open the event with a nice…
… timepiece with a great value considering its provenance. You point it clearly: your Dad is with you when you view or wear it !! I’m happy that you could restore it as it deserves! A good watchmaker can make magic and we should treasure when we find a go...
When Dad gave it to me it wasn't running. He'd had it serviced once in almost forty years . . .
. . . of ownership. When I got it back from the watchmaker Dad asked how much the watchmaker charged. When I told him, he practically exploded. "Over four hundred dollars! You dummy, I paid only $40 for it - how could you spend so much on a Seiko?!" Of co...
That’s a great story dear Art! I can understand your Dad when he learned…
… the cost of repairing his watch!! lol! You do well in keeping it working perfectly and “dressed” with a top set of straps. What a great feeling having your Dad’s watch happily ticking on your wrist! Keep enjoying and loving it so much dear Art!
Special Seiko
Hi All, I am ill today but did want to share a special Seiko that was given to me by a great friend. The watch was serviced and cleaned up and wears like new. Please enjoy, I may post some other wonderful Japanese watches after my nap. ...
Hello dear Tim! Regret to read you are ill and hope you will be well very soon. Thank you for joining us this weekend and with this great classic Seiko which has a very...
... special value being a nice gift from a great friend. It surely looks brand new and in great condition which adds to the pleasure of wearing it. Keep enjoying and loving it and get well soon!! Hagwe! Abel
Oh my, I will have to send some money in to help support the servers and bandwidth after loading all my Japanese watches
I decided to post all the Japanese watches I have worn this year on walks. So here we go, starting with the one I’m wearing today: Note: I can offer this watch both without and with date (Thank you Photoshop) Last watch of 2025 That’s all, folks Cazalea P...
As punishment for excessive posting you have been appointed Judge . . .
. . . for Watch of the Month. 🙂 And Kristjan has to take on Static Photo. 🙃
ALL, Folks, with no wrists to clutter the shot
All Seikos as I only have 1 or 2 non-Seiko Japanese watches, and I can’t find them right now... If I buy anymore I will have to get a taller ladder or wider angle lens… ...
😵💫 👏🏻👏🏻do you have an inventory list😂
Are you sure every single one is accounted for….
Why yes, I do. Doesn’t everyone?
Check out CatalogIt app - museum inventory software; good for watches, books, etc. collections of any kind. The more you have, the more you need it. Here’s part of the Seiko slice of the database. It says I have 65 (that’s not including Credors or other S...
I need to get up to speed with this app🙏🏻
What I have done now is tracking the watch boxes, not the watches, on my Notes app😅
Wow! That´s a great catalog! I wish I would have the time to learn to use it and get the time to transport all the information I keep in my handwritten catalog...
... of my collections of watches, knives, firearms, pens, and other objects I gather and treasure. Guess that for the moment I will keep my registers handwriten and with drawings I have kept for many years. They are not complete but it serves its purpose....
Oh, I'll handle Wrist Shot, Abel, please . . .
. . . take the month off. You deserve a break after managing the forum in our time of mourning for Cap. Graciously, Art
Well… Thank you! You’ll have a hard job considering…
… all the great entries received! Thank you again my friend! Abel
Wow wow wow! Dear Mike! I also was expecting this post coming from you! I was shure both KM and you would participate with these awesome selection of wonderful Japanese watches.
I imagine it is not easy to choose just one favorite among so many attractive timepieces you share here. Seiko is a favorite brand for me too and specially their diving watches. Thank you so much for sharing! Hagwe, Abel
This Walk selection is pretty impressive if you ask me!
Several very nice pieces here! Best, Emmanuel
That’s what I was hoping for 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Simply unmatched here, and we’re only talking walks of 2026 😊👌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
Hello again dear Art and friends!! Though it’s impossible to beat…
… our dear friends KM and Cazalea array of Japanese watches I would like to participate with a few of mine. Though I’m a big fan of Seiko/Grand Seiko brand I also own a few from Citizen as well. Here some of my favorites: My Seiko Turtle diver: GS GMT lim...
My personal favorite Seiko diver . . .
. . . which I should've hunted before the whole world discovered the inaugural model. Art
. . . and the Citizen, too. Vintage Citizen divers are tops in my book . . .
. . . and I'm seriously considering one of the current models.
What a great selection, dear Abel!
Many very appealing watches. And the photo of the Golden Turtle in water splash is perfect! Best, Emmanuel
Truly fabulous pieces, Abel 👏🏻🙌🏻🇯🇵
Your Turtle splash shot is a classic and the GSs very elegant. One question on the Aqualands - is it just the picture or is the modern one quite a bit larger than the 1990s version?
Thank you dear KM!!
It’s just the picture angle! The cases are the same except for some slight difference in the bevels of the two cases. Movement is different as well and uses just one battery in the new version (three batteries on the vintage one) Operation of different ti...
Re
Nobody does the unexpected like Seiko! Vertically-oriented crown & pushers, along with day & date. Dial the color of creme brulee!
Re
Epitome of Seiko-ness. Amber dial and ring, vertical orientation of day, date, crown, pushers, wacky subdials, rattly metal bracelet; Everything to love on this watch.
Hi again dear Art: I wished to add a few extra points as you offered…
… but regret to confess I’m not fond of Sushi. So for first time in my life (I swear that!) I decided to try and get help to AI !! And these are the results “hors concourse” of course as pictures backgrounds are AI generated and thus images are not comple...
Now I’m hungry for sushi, and I have a big bottle of Sake here with all the fixings
No raw fish though! Maybe I need to DIVE down to the SUSHI shop! Compromise lunch for a hungry guy who can’t leave the house or WristScan: No AI on this photo, I arranged it all myself on the counter... and drank 6 tiny cups of sake myself too ...
At least you can have sardines. Gout prevents me . . .
. . . from indulging. (Funny how I always seem to make an exception for beer.)
The world timer is one of my missing ones 😊
Bid on two this year but sadly didn’t win 🤷🏻♂️ Lovely AI enhanced shots 👌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you so much dear KM. My WT was a lucky find…
… about 20 years ago. I wish you’ll get one soon. I adore the WT complication! This is my very first experience with AI. Not very enthusiastic with this tool! Cheers! Abel
It has its uses, like all technology…
Find it quite useful as someone to throw ideas at but it works best if you’re sufficiently knowledgeable about a topic to easily spot hallucinations 😊👍🏻
I feel WT watches are Magical timepieces. They make us daydream with far and exotic places we wish to visit or return some day. They can be very helpful too if you...
... have family, friends or business in different far countries. And they usually have fantastic dials which makes them a joy to wear. And regarding AI... I agree with you. I had no interest and much less the time necessary to do the exploration of this t...
You will find the good as well as the bad with it 😊👍🏻
And fortunately you have a repository of knowledge to use AI as a tool rather than as a master 👍🏻👏🏻 Fully agree on the WT watches with you - for me possibly the most romantic complication 🌏👌🏻
Yes, I´m sure that as with any revolutionary tool they are double edge daggers. I feel that sooner or later I should explore and and adopt it perhaps.
Agree with you about WT: Magical and Romantic complication. I love it!
One of our So Cal alphabet soup gang members . . .
. . . owns the very same GS GMT! I thought there was an image on my hard drive but can't find it . . .
Interesting to know dear Art. I can’t remember the exact reference and I’m out of home…
… at this moment to check my records. It is a very nice watch which I bought at the NY Seiko Boutique inn 2018.
