Seiko

Thanks, Mike

 

I first saw Grand Seikos on a forum in 2003, and as far as I knew then, they were unobtainable.  So that drew me in, and I just like the way the Japanese design watches--they have a way with combining straight lines and curves that I can't describe but really like.

Beautiful pair of GSs you have there!

Best, Jim

Thanks to the Seiko team and to Ken for having posted it. I have a question: it is possible to meet Emi at Basel? :) Fx

If that were the case....

When I look at all the Seiko watches, clocks and other timekeeping devices, I fear our Forum is like a group of explorers starting at the edge of a vast continent. (Some brands are like a city park by comparison) But even if we make just short forays at f... 

You are truly a loyal SEIKO fanatic...

 
By: KIH : March 6th, 2014-06:17

Thanks Ken for posting this for us! I have a 12 or 13 year old Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay and that was my watch during college. (Some of my college mates say it gave me mystical powers as I started as a silly kid but ended up as the valedictorian of the coh... 

Yes, please wear and post about SEIKO more!

Thank you very much for bringing that lovely message to us Ken Will there be some give away games from Seiko? :) Best D

Very good idea!

 
By: KIH : March 6th, 2014-06:12
.. all in good times - will propose someday :-) Ken

That would be a killer! :-)

 
By: KIH : March 6th, 2014-10:51
I will have to go and beg everyday :-) Be patient! Ken

I am dreaming about that, too...

 
By: KIH : March 7th, 2014-17:47
.. but it takes very long time to adjust so fine.... and may cost a lot... Ken

Very nice message...

 
By: RobCH : March 6th, 2014-06:11
...great to know that the brand takes thier forum presence seriously. Indeed (sadly) more seriously that some swiss brands seem to. Looking fwd to more Seiko posts !

Thank You SEIKO!

I am a lover of watches and in particular of SEIKO, it was my first watch in 1973.- The next July I travel to japan and hope to buy this beauty of 36,000 alternations.- All the Best. Juan
