Seiko

There are many cool watches out there, and it's easy to get addicted to collecting and trying to own them all.  I personally am turned off by the ultra high end, look at me watch snobs with their Rolex, Omegas, etc.  I cannot afford a Rolex but I can certainly afford a very cool vintage Seiko.  Sophisticated yet within reach of anyone.  My goal is to collect the whole 6138 series.  I'm about half way there.

Good luck with finding the rest of the series. By the way, you’ll see lots of beautiful high end watches on this forum not owned by “ look at me watch snobs”. Enjoy them. Regards Kev.

By the responses to my post, I realize I was spouting off to the wrong people. I apologize. And yes, I realize collecting is a disease that anyone can contract, even people who are not snobs. My wife says if I have more than two of anything, it's the start of a collection and I'm obliged to obtain more. You should see my baseball glove collection!

is one awesome Seiko collection. I love Seiko and i surely love this collection.

You will find no snobs here just crazy collectors who love all kinds of watches.

John Mishanec,

A collection is a collection is a collection here on PuristSPro.

I was collecting Seiko 5 watches but had a little setback....out of character, I impulsively sold my whole collection one day.

I don't know why. There was no need from the viewpoint of space, money or spouse pressure...

I had to start again a few years later....maybe it IS an illness

Seiko 5 and Seiko Titanium Divers' watches




Seiko ANA Pilots' watch

It's so easy to read; I guess that's why it's a Pilots' watch.

The coin-edge bezel is practically scratch resistant.

The luminosity is good.

The orange hand is cool and the seconds hand has both a "Concorde-like jet" at the tip and a big 'S' at the tail.

It really does travel with me to far off lands, especially places where more expensive brands may be at risk.

very helpful 

Especially with Seikos because the barriers to entry (insanity) are relatively low.
