To truly appreciate the quality of the hand finishing of this watch and it remains one of the hidden gems in the watch world. Totally understated and almost a bargain as I understand its finishing is at least as good as a Voutilainen and very close to a D...
You know what? Seiko, like other big japanese firms, lacks of unique and distinctive design. it's not just a matter of mechanics, but mostly of aesthetics. If i could, i'd buy a Roger smith, Voutilainen, Hajime Asaoka instead of this seiko.
For some of us, the 'nothingness', the 'blandness' in this piece is exactly what some collectors are looking for when seeking for the Simplicity. That makes watch collecting interesting. What you choose to wear on your wrist may or can reflects what you w...
I really appreciate collectors like you, who buys watches following heart and reason. No doubt the Seiko is close to Dufour, but it's not my cup of tea. That's the reason that makes our passion so intense and vary

salute you on your excellent taste in haute horlogerie! One day when you have the time, I am sure all of us would love to see a photo of your Eichi II, next to you Observertoire and Simplicity. A sight to behold!
I love the honest simplicity and beauty of the dial but cannot have the same opinion of the movement finishing. Maybe it's my poor eyesight, maybe photographic distortions, but the edges around the mainspring (at about 9 o'clock and 10.30) look distinctly...
You need to see the watch in metal. The movement finishing is definitely right up there, at least equal to Dufour's. This has been mentioned numerous times by those who have inspected various examples of this watch. I have seen 3 examples of Eichi (both 1...
but limited production. It is limited to 20 pieces each year. 10 years later, there will only be 200 pieces Eichi 1 is the ultra rare one, only 25 pieces.
When the price gets more affordable (to me), I am getting this Absolutely fantastic and congratulations on yours - do by all means share it very, very often
