I suspect many of us were introduced to the world of watches . . .
. . . by a Seiko 5. To hear Pops tell the tale, this one . . .
. . . was gifted to yours truly in '66, but I turned it down! He wore it for awhile but didn't care for the bracelet, so it was retired, then gifted to my brother many years later, and finally, made its way back to my possession four years ago. Unlike my other vintage Seiko, this one had little wear and was in great shape mechanically.
I wear it every so often now on a shell cordovan bund strap . . .
. . . that's far more comfortable than the hair-puller it came it.
Cordially,
Art

Dear Forum, As earlier promised here are a few snapshots of the SNZH that I recommended (ok, ushered :) ) my 16 year old to buy as his first watch. Apart from the original bracelet which has a somewhat cheap feel to it, this is a very nicely made sturdy w...
Did you for a moment doubt
that Fernando is not having any of the watches there is ? :) Great gift my friend So you are infecting your son with watch bug ,) Sincerely Damjan
Great initiation into Seiko
I did a double take when you said my 16 year old ... and Seiko. Thought the Seiko was 16 year old. I was reading ahead of my self. There is a lot of watch going on there I cant wait to see the wrist shots. Thanks for sharing. Bill
Haha, no this one is only about a year old...
Thanks for your kind words Bill. I'll see if I can persuade the young man to pose for a wrist shot (or lend me the watch... :)) Nikolaj
I advise him to refuse to share it
Lest it disappears in the admiring adult\'s watch drawer! Thanks for sharing this. Let us know which Seiko you buy next ... Cazalea
Well, then I will advise him not to take advice from you ;-)
Frankly, my next Seiko could well be another of this SNZH reference. In a longer perspective, I have been toying with the idea of getting a GS (for years now actually). I would just like to see one in the metal before committing. Nikolaj

Thanks Art. Seiko 5's are so much fun...
They cover such a wide range and include some quite daring designs. Even the more conservative models have a lot to offer in terms of quality/price ratio. Great watches for the young (and young at heart :)). Yours is a lovely piece Art! I love its story a...
If someone would tell me in same sentence
shell cordovan bund strap and Seiko 5 I would think something is not right with the man :) but this combo of yours Art is just perfect! I suspect it took some time to get to it Best Damjan
Here's another combination for you: purpleheart cue . . .
. . . and a soft tip. You will be amazed ;-) . . .
Nikolaj, 16 year old me...
Would love this watch! :) Looks very strong and powerful. Thank you for sharing, my friend. Best Blomman
Ahh - now that's an example to follow!!
I have some way to go to reach that level :) but darn, you look stylish you two ! I must say that I need to see a bit more conscious watch wearing behavior from the young ones in my house before sharing such pieces. But they have actually loaned pieces fo...
That was phot session
for next Tudor heritage catalogue right? :) Perfect Bill! Sincerely Damjan
