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

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.

My watch and cocktail nerd worlds collided in Tokyo. 🤓

As some of you probably know, Seiko has released Cocktail Time models inspired by drinks from Star Bar in Ginza, created by Hisashi Kishi.

Five years ago, I received one of those watches as a wedding gift. Inside the box was a card featuring Kishi himself. Fast forward five years, and my wife and I finally visited the original Star Bar in Ginza.

By sheer luck, Kishi-san and his daughter were both serving that evening. Apparently, we’d picked a particularly lucky night to catch them together!

They were both incredibly kind, warm, and down-to-earth. Meeting someone connected to a watch that already means so much to me was special enough, but how lovely they both were made the experience even better.

At one point, he even showed me a book containing next year’s Cocktail Time models. Safe to say, my inner watch nerd was very happy. :)

There’s something quite surreal about seeing someone’s card in your watch box, then finding yourself in his bar five years later, looking through upcoming Seiko models with him.

This watch already had a special place in my life as a wedding gift. Now it has another story attached to it.
Any fellow Cocktail Time owners here who’ve made the trip to Star Bar?

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.

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!

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.

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

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)

Today is the day!

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

In love with this piece, have been waiting for the delivery ever since I pre-ordered it.

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?

It’s my first year anniversary of collecting watches and I finally got my first ever Seiko and also my first ever automatic watch. I decided to go with the Seiko 5 SNK063J5, which is known for it’s hindu/eastern arabic numerals, and I also love the arabic day display.

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

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.

It looks pretty good. I like the original bracelet, but could you suggest any other strap options?
