Seiko 6138 Chronographs
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.

Very nice little collection.
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.
I've found a home!
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 star...

I had a little Seiko setback
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 vie...
I wear it most of all my Seiko watches
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. ...

Caution - one needs to know how to say "Enough"
Especially with Seikos because the barriers to entry (insanity) are relatively low. Nice theme you have chosen, and if you stick with it you can probably catch them all. Welcome John. Cheers, Cazalea aka Seiko Moderator / lunatic Seiko count=36 wristwatch...
