Discovery Tuesday: The Snowflakes ... ... GS SBGA011
It was inevitable. I have a weakness for Titanium. To make matters worse, my 1st Seiko is a titanium and I loss it over service defect, well more of that latter ...
It is only logical you'll spot me with a Ti Seiko sooner or later.
Here it is
These recent photos of my watches are not taken by me but someone has way more photography talent than I so it's only fair that I show these.
Hope you all enjoy it so far.

Congrats on your new piece. Best, Horo
Love that blued second hand.
Very nice piece.... So what happened in the servicing process?
It was sad
Back in the early 90s my dad was given a Seiko Spirit Ti Chronograph by his Japanese client for bring the Japan company to venture into Malaysia. My dad didn't wear it so as a gift he gave it to me when I gone to college. It was with me for 15 years until...
So sorry to hear that...
was it waterproof for such activities to begin with? Then, it was the fault of the servicing and it shouldn't happen. They must forgot to change or insert the gasket. Were you compensated back then? They should replace it, if possible.... Again, so sorry ...
Well then, faulty servicing.
unbelievable happens... again, so sorry this has happened. By the way, are you related to Japan somehow? Your ID so suggests. Live in Japan? Japanese in US? Just curious since I don't see Japanese poster often here. Ken Tokyo
What a beaut!
And just what I've been looking at to get my dad for his birthday coming up. Congrats and wear it in good health.
You and Art are the person I should thank.
I only got to know this watch from reading a post you and Art did a few years back regarding the your Seiko collection. PS: We own quite a number of the same watches. ie the MIH Regards Tyler
Beautiful shots of a beauty, as usual!

Thanks. Hope you get the 130th.
I heard they are terrible hard to come by. Regards Tyler
It's so finely ..
polished that you won't realize it's titanium until you have it on your wrist. Then you wonder in amazement at the meticulous workmanship and accuracy. Need I say more? A Big congrats Tyler! Fernando
Thanks Fernando.
This watch is an antithesis. Is Ti but don't really look the part, a Seiko but not low price and a movement that's cross between mechanical and quartz. What make me appreciate this watch more is not no one will ever realize or agree on buying one unless h...
Great pics, Ti-Bomb! ;)
You have to watch out not get stuck in some terror filter with that name! Best Blomman
I shouldn't be so worried. Is T-Bomb not H-Bomb I think I'll be safe.
