SpringDrive SNR001

Took those a few minutes ago.



I really love this watch. Did not care for it a bit on the SS bracelet, but the leather strap 100% changed its personality.

A SpringDrive is on my list of must haves. I love the "escapement".

Thanks Mike, but I have got to ask... Why not? They make a fantastic watch. True... with an MSRP north of USD 3.5K and limited discounts, many other brands can be had, but trust me... Seiko can hang with the best!

Yes, the white stitching sets it off very nicely. Excellent combo.

Since we are both in Dallas, we can always meet one day and you can check it out. I bet there aren't too many of those around. Seiko only made about 100 in each colour.

Nice work Chip.

I am myself homing in on a Spring Drive... saw a pic of a Diver but from what the website tells me, it ain't around anymore, not new anyway. Have you every seen one?

I love the black face model you show from TZ.

Great photography. I agree that it looks really slick on that alligator strap.
