Picked up my first new SRPD55. Very happy about it.

When the 145th anniversary lineup was announced, I was beyond excited. All of the watches in their purple glory look amazing, but it's the HBJ005 Prospex Chronograph that I knew I had to buy, despite some people complaining that "it's pink". And?

On holiday in Thailand right now, and walked past a Seiko boutique just to see what they had available... Lo and behold, she was there waiting for me!

Couldn't be happier, looks amazing. Also, my first Solar watch!

If you want one and only one and you live near North FL, my small shop near me has one of each. They only take payment in person.

Grateful to work for an authorized Seiko dealer, I ended up getting the alpinist for myself and the HDB003 for my best friend.

To say the least this dial is gorgeous (especially in the sun), I wonder if this or my SPB121 will get more wrist time.

Had plans to come back with a vintage KS or quartz GS or Prospex chrono but instead - a Seiko 5 😅

Really felt like it rounded out the Seiko collection (alongside an old Tokyo-sourced Rolex)

As you can see I like divers. 😁

Just got into collecting but what wanted to show the very first watch I got, given by my pops!

Might be too big on the wrist but hey, a vintage has gotta be worn right?

Edit: it’s a 6309-7040

I’ve been looking for this watch at retail price and finally ordered this morning from retailer/jeweler in Michigan. I noticed jewelers put it up on their website randomly. So I searched it every 2 hours every day. Lol I’m sure quantity is very limited to each retailer. Cause after I purchased mine it marked sold out. I can’t wait!!!! I just found another one available online.

Got the call from my jeweler, she came in. Very pretty shiniest watch I have .

Guys, hi everyone, I wonder how does this beauty look after harsh conditions. Maybe some previous versions after years of wearing. What do scratches on a black bezel look like? I’m really impressed by the white version, but the mint one is also appealing

My first Seiko after browsing on this Reddit for months - officially joined the gang! 😁

Not sure if it’s vintage yet. But had my NOS out inspecting it.

I’ve never intended to wear it, I simply like the watch and like that it’s brand new with all paperwork, etc.

This watch has been with me for almost a decade. Bought on amazon with gift cards because I didn't have a bank account yet. Never gave me an issue, never stopped ticking. True classic.

New purchase today, 1st Seiko ... stoked. Gotta love a good sale 😁

I recently bought my dream Seiko. The watch that checked every box on what I look for in a watch (within my budget). Limited Edition, diver's 200m, sapphire crystal, a nice, versatile size (41mm), the two-tone bezel, symmetrical markers, red-tipped seconds hand, a subtle 4:30 date window... I could go on and on talking about all the little details I love about this watch. Yet, it's the one detail I hate that has been living rent-free in my head ever since I noticed it.

There's a small dent on the bezel. I didn't notice it when I got the watch (I bought it used and it looks like a mark from the previous owner - wich he didn't mention). You can barely see it from a regular distance, but I just can't unsee it. It broke the honeymoon phase, lol.

Now I'm wondering what to do next. Is it repairable? The bezel looks like it's bent inward, but I'm not sure if it can be bent back into shape. I took it to a small watch shop (since I live in a small town), but the watchmaker told me he couldn't fix it. I even tried taking it to a goldsmith and a jeweler, but they couldn't fix it either.

I couldn't find much information online about this recent "Slim Turtle" family (SPB317 and similars).

I reckon repairing it might be even more difficult because of the black PVD coating. And since I'm running low on options, maybe I should send it to Seiko and let them rip my savings apart? I don't know.

If you guys have any information about whether this watch can be repaired, if the bezel can be bent back into shape, or whether I can replace it with an aftermarket part, please let me know. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, guys! BTW I'm from Brazil.

Titanium field watch that takes a licking and keeps on ticking!

Absolutely in love with it. First GMT. Need to get my head round the extra hand. What do people set it as if they aren’t particularly bothered about another time zone at the current time?

I'm casually looking around for the SPB505, and thought I'd check Chrono24 in case anyone was selling a gently used one. But all the prices are *above* what you can buy brand new in the US at retail. Is there some kind of strategy for that pricing that I'm missing?
