              It goes from 30 $ to 6000… I mean: there's a watch there for any and every budget...

                    I agree with you Monday, the bezel on my watch is nice and somewhat distinctive.

                    Some of the 5 series are a little odd, but overall I really like the designs and, as you said, the price is right!

                    Place I bought mine is Mizutani Camera at Ueno 6-9-17, if you're ever in the area.

                                  Nice spork Friday, yeah the Japan Made are nice and affordable, from what I can tell. Thanks for the kind words Davito.

                                  This shop has some nice vintage Seikos, including the one I picked up, and in better condition. Like new.

                                  Those pics, and that tiny wrist, make it look bigger than it is.

                                      Hope you can get it Monday. More than I paid, but again the condition looks great. Looks like they cleaned up the hands quite a bit. Way brighter white than mine.

                                      Didn't look at where the shop is located at first, but just realized it's only about a 10 minute bike ride from my house.

                                          I know it's been a good weekend when I pick my watch up on Monday morning and it's dead.
