Collecting those three movements is also a nice category in a personal collection... [nt]

Community Appeal - Find Count De Monet a Seiko !...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 16th, 2019-01:24
Our friend Moritz, Count De Monet, has revealed that he is Seikoless !... Surly we can’t standby and allow this to continue within our community. Please post generously, photos of your Seiko’s to help Moritz. ...  

Great idea Captain!

Albeit, yours is already the one to get 🤔?

Haha ...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 16th, 2019-01:49
We just need to find the perfect one !

Wuuooaaahhh ... nice, but too sharp

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 16th, 2019-04:05
It is all a convincing design, but to my taste the hands are too pointed. It is like a scalpel on the wrist, to me. It will look much better in real, I am sure. Thank you for your suggestion!

Very tempting...

Great dial !

GS "blacksmith"?

Getting better

Quite nice dial. Very good and solid case, too. Thank you for your proposal.

Would You Consider Something Less Formal?

 
 By: Uncle Chico : July 16th, 2019-06:52
Perhaps a vintage 6309? ...  

No reason to stick to formal

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 16th, 2019-07:19
Seiko divers are always having a good tool watch appereance. A tip to consider, thank you!

Seiko? "Did someone call me?"

Shall we start with the basics? No, let's get basic Seikos later. We can do Grand Seikos quickly... Do you prefer your watches in black (yes the hands are sharp but they are behind that glass partititon so you can't cut yourself on them) or white? or crea...  

Wow !....

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 16th, 2019-11:29
That’s a great lineup 👍

Presage is a good place for a Seiko novice to begin!

 
 By: cazalea : July 16th, 2019-07:58
Not expensive and beautiful dials! Again White and Black to choose from (3-hand or Chrono, in this case) They are making a mark with their blue dials, either enamel smooth as glass or textures Not too big or too small I don't know where to go from here .....

Thank you for the overview, Cazalea!

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 16th, 2019-08:54
I noticed/followed the chrono, also the Presage and GS models. They are surely quite appealing. For a reason that I don't know I did not get a Seiko so far.

Vintage or Modern

 
 By: InDebtButOnTime : July 16th, 2019-08:22
A nice Seiko can be acquired for reasonable money. If you'd like to spend more current offerings are impressive! To me "Made In Japan" is nothing to snivel at and Seiko shows why. ...  

The one in the middle looks interesting

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 16th, 2019-08:56
A day date in vertikal display between chrono counters has got something. Thank you for your ideas.

Looked into that topic again

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 17th, 2019-07:16
I recall that Seiko was also mentioned in the race for the first automatic chrono when I was reading about that topic. A recet review of that article is saying: Breitling and Heuer published the first plans/sketches of an auto chrono, Zenith showed the fi... 

El Primero

 
 By: InDebtButOnTime : July 17th, 2019-12:44
Whether it IS the el primero or not (el segundo?) that's a good point about Zenith's entry in the auto chronograph race still being around. I had also heard that while Seiko did beat the others by a bit those pieces were only available in Japan.

Spring Drive?

It ia an interesting concept, as far I can recall

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 16th, 2019-08:58
A clean dial, solid built. Not a bad thought!

Something different,perhaps,modest outlay

That looks like an elegant watch with a good wrist presence

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 17th, 2019-07:18
The profile on the your wrist is quite a view, with this curved sapphire. Thank you for your suggestion Henry!

A Seiko with classic good looks ...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 17th, 2019-07:24
That’s a good suggestion Henry.

Many fine choices here...

 
 By: halgedahl : July 18th, 2019-07:45
But I'd like to second cazalea's suggestion of the Hi-Beat 5645-5010. Here's one currently for sale on "the Bay." A search will bring us some pretty attractive pics of the watch on his wrist—usually with his cat! I think the cat's optional, though… I'l do...  

To wit...

 
 By: halgedahl : July 18th, 2019-08:30
the SBGA403. (Thank you, HODINKEE) This will add another column to the price tag (just over the mark), but for my taste has a dial I should never, never tire of admiring. (Not to mention a case of marvelously-angled dimensions.) Not a small watch (44.5x14...
