Homage to my Grandfather....a special Seiko.

My grandfather was a huge Novak Djokovic fan, he passed away suddenly this May (a very tough turn of events for a man and his family, he was in his 80s and had the health, stamina, strength and endurance of a man half his age) and a lot of events happened to the family since then. In a way to honor, love and remember him and the love he showed us. Miss you grandpa with lots of love, you always showed us what a shining example of a proper gentleman is, hoping to one day be like you....


I decided to get my uncle and I Novak’s new Seiko Astron SBXB174, they finally arrived today and I’d like to share some quick shots with the forum before even setting the proper time. 

Lots of highlights that incorporate Tennis (Love, 15, 30 and 40 the points in tennis are on the dial), aspects of Novak, such as the star next to 8, showing him as one of 8 Tennis greats that were able to accomplish a career Grand Slam. 





Little touches like the 4 Grand Slams being highlighted in Gold make it an even more special piece, 





I’ll take some more shots thanks all for looking and comments appreciated.

heartbreaking story at the same time. Lovely way to memorialize him indefinitely. Is your family perhaps of Serbian descent? With condolences, Filip

That would have....

indeed been a treat.... My family is of Serbian descent as well. I thought the WC was a blast, the most memorable in recent memory. Take good care and enjoy the emotional depth of that splendid timepiece. Best, Filip
