Which Seiko's are on your list?

While I love my BLNR and Cartier there is just something about Seiko that excites me more than any other brand. Am I alone? My current Seiko's are an 007 and a SPB051 which I love and wear regularly, these are the ones I am looking at

Lets see which ones are on your list!

SDGZ013 - had this one but sold it off in pursuit of another, would love to re-aquire



SLA017 - while I have the SPB051 something about this one keeps me coming back!



SSA361J1 - have not had a Presage before, just look at that dial!




Edit* now that I see all 3 of these together would make a pretty stellar trio!

I have another GS ordered and on the way very soon.

Thinking of picking up a GS Peacock Blue but it's hard to find. I am on waitlist at their Tokyo boutique.

Maybe the new SBGH267 but I am still not yet convinced despite seeing many pics...

Really love the new Enamel Shippo Dial Seiko with the PR but the price is giving me pause as I heard it list for 2K+

Currently searching for a 1964 Seiko Skyliner (not my pic). I'm also considering trading in one of my Rolex for a Snowflake.

Put a deposit down on a snowflake today.

Once I saw it in person and got to experience the spring drive sweep, I knew I had to have it.

Can't wait.

That is a good looking watch! How do you determine what you buy and what are your usual research sources?

Seiko buying goals are currently two vintage Seiko dress watches, King or Grand Seiko, and one vintage Seiko diver or chrono. Thinking about a new GS next year, possibly a GMT, but I want to see what I pick up Rolex-wise first.

Adam, can you tell me what the G at the end of SBGA211G denotes?

Just ordered an SLA019 (“Deep Forest” MM300)

I’d been waffling on it since it was announced and it seems to be sold out of most North American ADs already. Found one available for preorder last night and jumped on it. I am a weak man sometimes :)
