What’s your favourite seiko?
Hi everyone, I started my watch journey many years ago with a seiko 5, despite having many new additions I still wear and love my seiko.
I haven’t put much attention into adding a new seiko watch until now. I’m just wanting to know what is your favourite seiko you own? Possibly your favourite seiko and grand seiko? Thanks! Also I have small wrists so any suggestions for furniture purchases would be appreciated!

SLA017 here. I'm hoping to enjoy the upcoming SLA037 as well if not more.

Hadn’t even looked into this watch until just now, exactly why I wanted to start this thread! Thanks! Please keep the suggestions coming!

^ I'd have to say that one (SLA017), even though I don't own it or have even seen it in person... it looks perfect, better than the Sub in my opinion.
Runner up would be my Lord Marvel form 1965 and/or the new Alpinist (just announced, non cyclops) in charcoal dial (or any of the three really). Edit: oops, I didn't read the whole post... of the ones I own... back to the Lord Marvel then, runner up being the SRP777 (black dial Turtle). |

I'd take an SLA017 over a Sub, personally, and I've owned 4-, 5- and 6-digit Subs. The Seiko doesn't keep time quite as well but is far more interesting overall and costs about 1/3rd the price. Even as a one-and-only watch I'd be more than happy with the SLA.

The Seiko SLA033, "Captain Willard". I like the SLA017 and the SLA025 but the one that really sings to me is the 033.

Someone posted a Grand Seiko diver on the forum back in January. It had a Teal dial. I wish I could remember the model. It was the best looking watch I have ever seen.

I'm newer to the brand, but for many years I always wanted the SKX... I first saw one on my honeymoon in St Maarten. A man was checking into the hotel at the same time we were and I actually asked him what he was wearing .... much to my wife's embarrassment
I happened to hear that they were discontinued back in the spring and decided to pick one up right around the holidays. I love the way it wears. The lume is outstanding and I cant put my finger on it ... but it just makes me smile every time I wear it. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk |

Man, it’s a really hard choice for me to pick my favorite, but it might be my SLA 017 on bracelet. I wore it on rubber strap and then tried it on bracelet, and haven’t gone back. But I have lots of Seiko’s that are all my favorite at one point or another.
