Seiko

Thanks for the kind words, Schweiz303!

Yes, both my partner and I choice the Seiko Turtles for the very reason that it's so iconic amongst the watch community, while totally understated amongst the layman. Even here on WatchProSite, I see many respectable collectors (like yourself) having the PADI turtle too!
Definitely off the beaten path (the way we love it), but recognizable and dare I say, respected, by fellow collectors.

Today's a truly remarkable day!

By: utcpluseight : March 5th, 2017-06:27

Before describing today's event, a background on the watch matter: my partner and I've been looking around for the appropriate watch for both of us (lucky me, she doesn't like the idea, of an engagement ring, but an engagement watch). First was Nomos, the...

perfect

Can't beat Seiko. Cheers, John.

thanks John!

I started my mechanical watch journey with Seiko, and is a collection that holds dear to my heart!

I love your story and her choice. What a pair!!!

Congratulations to you and your partner. By the way, your cake looks yummy ;-) Best wishes Alkiro

Thanks Alkiro!

By: utcpluseight : March 5th, 2017-18:19

I think we like exclusivity to some extreme. haha, thanks for the compliment on the cake! miss it so much that we decided to find the recipe and make it our own, turns out great!

Really cool :-)

Best wishes Alkiro

She's a keeper!

Awesome! My wife bought me a wedding watch instead of a ring, although it took years for us to have a his and hers (Rolexes first, Omegas later, now working on the next pair).

Thanks Mr Glass!

By: utcpluseight : March 5th, 2017-18:20

I'm quite sure you're relieved to know your wife knows you so well, too! Congrats on the iconic pairs, looking forward to reading your post on the next pair! Any hint as to what brand/theme?

But more likely JLCs

What a great story!

By: KMII : March 5th, 2017-07:35

She\'s definitely a keeper And so are the Turtles!

Thanks KMII!

By: utcpluseight : March 5th, 2017-18:23

Definitely agreed (on her being a keeper), we share many common interests! & that Turtle's her first Seiko, which makes it all the more special (engagement LE first Seiko, haha)!!

Fully agreed :)

By: KMII : March 6th, 2017-00:58

Gives you a good opportunity to share and switch, too

Very nice story

By: kev09 : March 5th, 2017-08:50

Congratulations and best wishes. The watches look great and so does the cake! Regards Kev

Thanks Kev!

By: utcpluseight : March 5th, 2017-18:24

Glad you love both our watches and cake! Wanted to share the love for a special occasion with a nice collection of LE Turtles!

Hey - what a great solution for a matched pair of Seikos

By: cazalea : March 5th, 2017-12:09

and to have her participation and excitement makes it all the better, doesn't it? Cheers, Cazalea

Thanks Cazalea! Definitely much better with her involvement in my watch hobby!

By: utcpluseight : March 5th, 2017-18:29

She can now recognize watch models off other guys' wrists, making our people-watching (pun intended) all the more interesting, HAHA! This pair of Turtles definitely are much more valuable (to us) with our back-story!

Congrats, what a sweet story! [nt]

By: KtWP : March 5th, 2017-15:04

Thanks KtWP! Glad you like our mini watch-adventure! :D [nt]

By: utcpluseight : March 5th, 2017-18:29

I see you kept the two watches perfectly synchronized. Attention to details. [nt]

By: Luis6 : March 5th, 2017-18:30

Thank Luis6, you have keen eyes! The OCD in us watch-lovers caused the synchronization, haha! [nt]

By: utcpluseight : March 5th, 2017-18:32

Those look great - complimentary dial colours! [nt]

By: jml_watches : March 6th, 2017-09:59

thank you, jml_watches! agree on these dial colors!

By: utcpluseight : March 7th, 2017-23:07

however, I didn't manage to capture the full spectrum of colors on these phone-captured photos. will try to get better shots on dedicated camera some time soon!

Great idea, and great fit. It's a different route you both took, and it will stand out, while remaining understated. The watch community will understand the dichotomy. Congratulations. [nt]

Great choice!

I recently bought a PADI and was impressed by the build quality and the dial. What a great pair of Seikos you have, congrats!

Thanks NT931!

By: utcpluseight : March 7th, 2017-23:16

Yes, Seiko really make these special and limited editions Turtle dials shine radiantly (pun intended)!

JEALOUS!!!

I love the new colors, I just ordered the Blu Lagoon, can't wait!!! -TicknTang
