Very cool Seiko

I assume this is the Wristscan kick-off, so here is my contribution: It is going to be a bitter cold weekend in central Europe, so making sure all is wrapped up properly. CC ...  

Ah, the lovely Vintage 94!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : January 6th, 2017-01:55
Such a elegant watch! HAGWE Blomman

Superb watch.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : January 6th, 2017-08:57
And the brown strap looks great!

Always! :) [nt]

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : January 6th, 2017-12:16

Sure, we all definitely need the gloves with middle European Temps falling to -10 to -15C.. BTW: Really love that Vintage 45 !

 
 By: hs111 : January 6th, 2017-06:33
It has such a strong but still charming appeal for me, and the black dial simply is great ! hs PS: That new brown strap makes a lovely combo ! - Well done, my friend !

Thank you HS, small correction if I may

 
 By: crown comfort : January 6th, 2017-07:47
That watch is the Vintage 94 which was released 1 year before the re-edition of the Vintage 45, yes you guessed it in 1994

So the Vintage 45 is a sort of heir - or re-interpretation - of the Vintage 94 ?.. Or am I totally off-track now ?

 
 By: hs111 : January 6th, 2017-09:37
Thx for the kind education, in advance ! Meanwhile I started to appreciate the square/ Karrée shapes of GP more & more. - And I truly like my smaller 2021, you know so well !.. Best & HAGWE, hs.

Very nice snowflake on your wrist ;-)

This may be the first ever wrist shot . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 6th, 2017-23:16
. . . with practically no wrist in sight!

Very Funky Seiko! :)

HAGWE on the New Year, my friend! Best Blomman

A catch and a half . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 7th, 2017-14:46
. . . as it was restored by none other than Ohira-san, or, as Ken likes to call him . . . . . . The God of Adjustment. And I can confirm his touch is magical: my GS 56 one of the four most perfectly dialed-in watches I've ever owned. Within a few seconds ...  

On my wirst today will...

I have a small collection of modern/vinatge Rolex....

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : January 6th, 2017-12:19
But don't wear them that often.... Maybe I should make a change of that in 2017! Best Blomman

That's more profound a statement . . .

But quite soon realized, I am not really that kind of guy... So, yes - small... Best Blomman

Same for me... that's why I've never begun ;-)

In fact, I didn't't even want one-too big. What happened to me?!

It's all your fault.

You bit me.

You can take credit.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : January 7th, 2017-07:16
You were the first. And the most persistent, although Arie may be giving you a run for your money. No complaints, though. It is so beautiful.

What a beauty my friend!! Mesmerizing...

How do you define modern? Best Z'

Mmh

 
 By: ztirual : January 6th, 2017-15:45
True, biggest passion is for the 30's and 40's. The birth and golden era of modern wrist watches ;-) Then the 50's. Then the 60's, then the 80's, then come the 'moderns' to finish with the 70's. You know it goes quickly up, even with the moderns, when you... 

No, I like a lot some watches from the 30's and 40's, too, such as the Longines 13 ZN

 
 By: amanico : January 6th, 2017-23:34
Or the early 30 CH as well... Add a Longines " Greenlander ," ( 40's as well ) some old Minervas GP UN Chronos from the 40's... The Fifties were a great decade. The 60's sound the end of the fun... Ok, there are some good exceptions in the 70's, but the Q...

This is such a satisfying watch. I understand that many would prefer it without the date window, but I find it makes it so practical. I wear it all the time, especially at work and I enjoy it so much more because it\'s everything I need in a watch! Plus, ... 

I guess I would prefer no date.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : January 7th, 2017-07:13
But no harm, and as you said, it is practical. And the rest really is "Portugieser" all the way. Much more-so than the automatics.
