SEIKO Anyone ??

[yellofit]

Agree, the dials of the new models are too busy. I have the thinking that the seiko designers are feeling there is a need to justify the price by making the dial and functions more complicated. Just look at the SD 600m its almost double the price of the MM. The 300MM not perfect either, i find there are too many rows of wordings above the 6 marker, should stick to 2 or 3 instead of 4 either "AUTOMATIC" or "PROFESSIONAL" should be omitted.

The MM is my favourite watch among Seiko and it's a dream watch. Seiko is definetely undervalued IMHO. Congrats and enjoy the beauty. It looks better than the current version with power reserve/Spring Drive

This one definately 1 rolex = < 3 seiko's and its a beauty, finish comparable to a Sub. My personal take else i won't be paying so much for a seiko, this is with an unadjusted grand seiko movt. 8L35. Enjoy

Seiko Automatic watches appeal to me too! They're cheap, reliable and look good. Just a pity that they're made in Japan not Switzerland.

1 ROLEX = 10 Seiko at least

this is my seiko 5, in fact the only seiko i owned.
i must have bought this a dozen years ago or more. i remember it was (another) impulse buy at a mom-n-pop shop in AMK Central. i paid no more than $60 for this. it is still in perfect working condition though i don't wear this anymore. i keep it in my dry box together with a few `privileged' others, where i sort of `retired' the watches. just admire and a little tlc once in a while....
i stumbled on another mom-n-pop watch shop at the refurbished old airport road food centre last month. the shop upstairs has a decent range of seiko 5 on sale. the uncle told me that the seiko 5 now costs $90 and above, and most have a transparent back glass to show the movements. he too lament the loss of the seiko 5 innocence, where it was just a simple, no fuss and affordable automatic watch. do give the uncle a visit (and buy something) if you have the chance. support the underdog.....
