Sometimes I wonder how much of a WUS I am when I've never owned a Seiko. It's funny because I recommend Seikos to pretty much everyone who starts talking to me about watches. I especially make sure to do so when someone is wearing a fashion watch that costs just as much if not more then some very nice Seikos.

I've straight up told people that they'd be shocked at the quality and their pre-conceived notions about some sort of inferiority about Japanese watches couldn't be further from the truth. I'm a Swiss watch guy but I have no qualms admitting I am paying a premium and I'm happy to educate others about it.

My seiko sucks. The bezel insert faded and the lume doesn't even work.

I just picked up on of these

and it is quite nice. I also have another Seiko but I'm not sure the model number. It looks like a SKX007 but the crown is placed where you would expect it to be, at 3 o clock. Very nice watches.

Hope you like! My SKX009 modded with Yobokies hands and Crystal times bevel less low domed sapphire crystal.

First and last time I mod a watch! Scary stuff

Love my Seiko Monsters....I grabbed a Sea Monster and recently a SRP311J1 :) Recently threw in a CT-056 DD Blue AR Sapph, and trying to figure out what to put in the 311. PVD Engineer Bracelet with wetsuit ratchet ext on the Sea Monster. When I read how to post pics, I will add them to this post.
I have been looking at the crazy ZIMBE releases lately, and a 60th anniversary Seiko 5 w/Monster hands

hands down the most affordable and best performing dive watches out there.
Had me three Seiko divers, sold them a while back on the bay when I needed some cash, haven't looked back since I'm an RWI member, makes me a bit nostalgic

Seiko is probably the number 1 dive watch in the world. I think almost everyone who learns to dive buys one right away. It's sort of our way of telling everyone, "I'm a diver."

I love that insert! Also, do I need to come over and edge your lawn?
My lawn boy doesn't do a good job edging and he is a week late due to college classes.

But he does the whole yard for $20 bucks so I don't complain

I love this insert as well.
