I am fortunate to own some lovely mechanical Seikos, even one limited edition Grand Seiko. But not one can possibly compete with this diminutive (31.5 x 37.5 x 5.5) dress model that I purchased on a whim as I nervously awaited meeting a woman who would become my wife (and who sits next to me this evening) for a first week together. We were not children. Nearing our 50s, we had written to one another for six months before deciding this might be a good idea. And even more daring (though only an enthusiast would say this) was the decision—as I stared at the watches in the case—that it was time for a change: I'd stop sweating the small stuff; I'd go for a two-hander! Whoa…
I have a few Seiko's ......
My first that I still have ..
And love the Sumo that gets the most wrist time ….

I like it my friend. I just wish they put in a better movement than the cal. 7S26
I wonder if a cal. 4S36 can be swapped out in its place?
No winding from the crown and no hacking seconds is a pain.
I've owned so many 7S26 powered Seiko's and still have a couple of SKX009s. Winding them by swinging them back and forth for several minutes is so inefficient compared to winding from the crown it drives me nuts so I avoid them all now.
That is a gorgeous green dial piece!
Here is my favorite, not a green dial but with green crocs :
Thx
Meaningful piece as their first chrono developed in time for the Olympics to showcase their abilities to the world... At least some meaning to me personally even if it was before my time...
My favorite vintage Seiko
in my modest Seiko collection. 6139... first automatic
chronograph?...... depends on who you ask.
This one. June, 1992; Milton, MA; K-Mart, ninety-nine bucks.
Sometime around the turn of the millennium, after I'd worn the piece for a few years with a badly cracked windscreen, a local jeweler sent it to Chicago for a full rebuild. Since that time it has always run, faithfully, with admirable accuracy (though for a number of years, largely in a drawer), until my interest in fine timepieces blossomed, my first watch winder broke, providing a covered display stand, and the watch's principal function turned from wristwatch to small clock—there, in the morning sunlight, to remind me of how lucky I've been these some twenty-five years and counting.
Watches. Memories….

A couple of favourites
Hi
There are a couple of them
Obvious choice this one - been stuck to my wrist since it arrived.
I'd also have to include a Bellmatic - a Seiko with an alarm, whats not to like 
Cheers
