Which Seiko next

As most know I really like my Seiko watches and have decided that my collection is going to be orientated around them .. not Just Seiko watches but watches that are associated with Seiko like Pulsar , Lorus , Invicta etc

Here is my current little collection my question is in your opinion what would you add if the collection was yours

















I also have a 7002 which is currently a kind of jigsaw awaiting to become a complete watch in January

one of these

Very Nice ....But ....

Little change to my original question .. instead of " in your opinion what would you add if the collection was yours" how about I change it to this " in your opinion what would you add if the collection was yours and you had limited budget of say £150" so thats the Marine master out and also the Grand Seiko unfortunately

If it was me I would part X the monster mash against the Seiko 5 mini monster , but I am alittle biased lol

If not on the above Have you owned a spork yet

this then

Funny you should say the above Andy .. no I havent owned a Spork but I have in fact been having a little chat with Bruce about possibly modding the monster into a Monster Spork .. a bit like this

Simply Beautiful .. what watch would be needed as a donor ??

yes its a stunner isnt it, its 007 based and could be 7s26 or nh35 either would work, personally i think its the best one i have done

I would say it is very difficult to decide between the MM and Subo which is best .. Is Yobokies still making those dials ?

he was supposed to be getting more in, you have no chance with the sumo dials as Seiko wont release them anymore

I could be tempted to sacrifice my Seiko Squiggle as a donor to have it changed to the MM , a far better looking watch IMO especially if he gets the blue/green dial .

he is still showing them so maybe


i like this one too

now you are tempting me just looking at the two MM I actually find it difficult now to decide between the two.

i think the green one without seeing it first would be a risk, but the black is stunning IMO

That's a lovely collection you have there John.

I'm not very knowledgeable with Seiko's but here's a couple that I quite like.

The Seiko Monaco....

and for something completely different the Seiko Nooka..

Prices for these models varies a lot online though it's really just a couple of thoughts.

The Nooka is a very different looking watch I like it

like yourself I like because it is different. It's certainly miles away design wise from the diver style I normally associate with Seiko.

what didnt you like about it ? i would love one but my fear is i would be too scared to wear it

That's one of the reasons Bruce, it was the most expensive new watch I'd bought, my other watches are normally lived in, and I was too scared to wear it and possibly reducing the value with a knock!
I found it too top heavy, even though I'm a chunkster, with the little wrist time it got, I just couldn't get used to the weight.
I hated the bracelet, the ratchet clasp, really did my head in.
Given the choice I'd rather have 3 Steinharts or 2 Seiko 6105's.

Sorry off topic

thats interesting to hear something negative about the watch as it tends to be all positive and very good points you make too.....something to think about, but i guess its worth remembering that first and foremost its a watch with a specific purpose and probably doesn't include us strange watch fans
