Counting the train rides?
Hi Ron,
We left our hotel around 8:30, rode the train and arrived in time for lunch.
Tours from say 1:30-5:30 or about 4 hours.
Train home 5:30-8:30 or 9:00.
That's about 5 hours on the train plus 4 hours at the factory.
Plus visits to Wako twice and 2 hours at the museum (plus the bus to/from hotel).
Add emails, texts and phone calls, plus reading all the materials and watching videos.
It was real work, but hopefully useful to everyone.
Cheers,
Cazalea

VISIT TO SEIKO PART 1: The Overview
SEIKO - What is it? The word SEIKO is well known to watch collectors as a brand. It's not so well known as a huge industrial corporation. Please take a moment to look at the overall picture, for it will help us to understand the watches. Seiko is not a pe...

Great report cazalea!
I have always respected Seiko as a full fledged manufacture and your report makes me want to visit them one day too! I know little about the brand but I always hear others around me compliment Seiko as great value and very reliable watches. Many of my unc...

Very cool! I did not realize Seiko's other holdings
Epson, for example; I have a wonderful Epson machine a few feet from me right now. I am happy you have obtained this insider's view and I look forward to reading the other parts!
I'm not quite sure which you're more effective at, Mike . . .
. . . being PuristSPro's ambassador to Seiko, or Seiko's ambassador to the international community of wristwatch devotees. :-)
Me neither
I guess both is what we aim for, right? Tell the world about brands or individual watches we love AND draw a crowd who wants to see what's up - to the benefit of both. Mike PS - but just so you don't think I'm too locked into one brand, here's today's wat...
