I didn’t have a half million to spend so…

One of these custom pieces is incoming. A neat novelty piece should be fun.

1000%. I pretty much bought it as a protest to the $500K 5711 Tiffany.

Honestly, not so nice plastering the seiko brand in models from different brand. Doesn’t work for me..but I understand the allure of it

The reality is, patek’s so called sport watches which are dress watches masquerading as sport watches are no where near as accomplished as seiko in the sport watch domain. I mean seiko has been worn on Everest and just about anywhere and everywhere by divers over the decades. patek and AP can create sport washes with the only claim to fame being that they made the most expensive sport watch. Yea, well that may be true but the folks doing history are wearing seiko (and Rolex) and the spectators of history wearing Patek and AP. Seiko has a real heritage in sport watches that a price tag and all the hype in the world cannot touch.

The only thing that is Seiko is the movement. Im sure everything else is Malaysia made. Thats who I got it from. Its a pure novelty piece.
