Hi Russell. Thanks for the shoutout mate appreciate that. If anyone wants educating on the rocky road of Pogue purchasing I am always happy to help! Main thing is if it looks too new, especially the lume then it’s at least an aftermarket dial. Remember these watches are 50 years old! 6139 is ICONIC and Russell didn’t really discuss this in much detail but this movement was very nearly the world’s first automatic chronograph, some argue that it is the first mass produced. All this in 1968/69 then of course Mr Pogue secretly took his into space to time his engine burns because he had trained with this and was only given his Omega days before and he did not trust that as he had no experience with it. I will leave you with this conundrum, how does a non hand winding automatic only watch actually work in space?????!!!!
You’re very welcome and thank you so much too Michael! I didn’t want to give too much away as it will be a future episode. With regards to your last statement… 😉
Unfortunately this 6139 looks like a classic Philpino rework sh***ter watch. There are several unscrupulous sellers on ebay in the UK that attempt to pass these off as being in good original condition. I only buy vintage Seiko from the US, Australia or Japan to avoid this issue!
I’m new into serious watch collecting and this is my favorite watch TH-cam channel! Your reviews are informative yet funny and fun haha. You’re like the Mac Demarco of the watch world.
MWC, you have one grrrrrreat colletion of Seiko beauties. Like you, I think that if I had to say goodbye to the rest of my colletion, only keeping the Seikos, I would be very well covered and would have planty of variety. Thanks for sharing.
Your wee Quine has taste. She loves the blue strap, well done lassie. (Quine is Doric for girl, a boy is a Loon) everyday a school day. Great show Sir 🏴👍🏴
If you love and appreciate Seiko’s and Casio’s effort to provide quality time piece without resorting to modern slavery and money gouging, you are a true watch enthusiast. They are definitely God tier watches. 🎉
I never thought I would see what a perfect Saiko collection would look like. Today I was proven so wrong. This is an absolutely mad Saiko collection its perfect in every way and all of these watches I have dreamed of owning one day.
Brilliant show, just before I viewed it I was looking on ebay for a box for my watches, and hey presto the first thing I see is your watch collection box "spooky" lol.
Very nice collection you’ve got, I sold my Vostok collection this last week with what is going on atm. Bought a Seiko 5 SPRD63K1 and an Orient Defender 2 with the proceeds.Brian May V2 coming tomorrow. Your Arnie is my favourite but I’m not sure I could carry it off. Although I did wear a 51mm Garmin for years.Seiko and Orient now my brands.
If I can carry an ARNIE off you can! Check out the stealth black Tuna I reviewed in a set of 3! Big case but from the top to the bottom on your wrist it’s a great size !
Thanks for the advice on buying old watches on eBay. I was very close to buying an old Seiko 5 but my fear was how long will a 40 year old watch last. I've now bought a Seiko SRPD51 and very pleased with it
Awesome show Russ. I need more Seikos in my life. I only have the flighty and a SNKL23. I’m deciding between an Arnie, Willard or a Sport Rally Diver 6119-7173 for my next Seiko. I just want them all but don’t think the wife will allow it!
Cheers Ray! Samurai yes a little too angular and bulky for me. The tuna is a little close to my ARNIE tbh but the stealth black one I reviewed a while ago would be the one!!!
I don’t have any seiko‘s in my collection although I do like the flightmaster. I keep looking at seiko‘s in shop windows but there appears to be hundreds of choices and I can never decide which I like most.
Hahaha!! My advice is take a look at your collection If you have one, I’d there a type of watch you are missing and then find a Seiko for that hole! Like a field watch or a pilots watch etc! That’s how I do it;)
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Thanks for your advice. I currently have 40 watches in my collection and get an earbashing from mrs everytime I get a new one! Having said that I saw a pre owned zenith El Primero in a shop a couple of weeks ago and she said I could have it when the house goes through ( We are currently selling a house we rented out and it should be completed anytime). Can hardly wait but in the meantime have also been looking at the speedmaster tripple date!
What is your most FUN to wear Seiko? The one most likely to make you smile like a goof if you haven't worn it in a while? Edit: Love the wife comments, I can really see where she is coming from even if I don't agree all the time.
The Willard is one of My favourite watches full stop.. Seiko may not be the most expensive watches out.. But price aint everyfink! The dials on pretty much every Seiko made are total crackers!
I'm in my 40s and a person with a serious collection from high horology to vintage to micro brands. I enjoy the hobby. I must say I love this channel keep up the great work and keep being you. You are bringing in so many people to our hobby that normally would never watch a typical watch video. Cheers 🥂
Thank you so much my friend! I put it upon myself to make shows that are the lighter side of what can be a stuffy hobby! Also I’m still making shoes I’d like to watch!!! ;) this sort of comment keeps me going sir! So thank you
This was my first experience of the mad watch collector…i felt every emotion throughout this video, anger to joy…but i’m now fully committed to all content this man will produce. What an anxious breath of fresh air this man is in a sea of boring watch content. Thank you!!!
Unlike other uptight watch TH-cam personalities, you bring fun back into watch collecting. Your vid’s are just so damn fun (and educational) and I want to thank you for that. Keep doing what you do! ✨⌚️✨
That's a stonking collection on its own. Had/got a few of those myself - my favourites are the Willard ( not my poshest watch, but just something about it) & a True Pogue ( yep, a minefield- swapped a Ducati for mine!!!) - had a Flightmaster, just didn't gel with it at all, & an Alpinist which I loved but was just too small for my tastes. Good video thank you Mr Mad 👍🏻👍🏻
Think we really need to show appreciation for the production quality of our friend's videos. These could easily be on TV with the attention to detail he puts in to each one. Top grade watch channel 👍🏻
What a collection mate, the highlight for me was the pogue, been researching them and found some interesting things about them. Also love the willard and miniature turtle 🐢. And great to see Mr Pagani make an appearance.
If you have questions about a Pogue I may be able to help. The “true” Pogue is a 6139-6005 (not 6002 as some sites suggest). Also has a water resist dial, if it has all these then you pay big for them but beware there are MANY that are not what they appear to be.
A mad collection for sure. I own a few of those in your collection and love them. I am looking for a regular Seikoholic anonymous meeting if you know of one. Can’t stop wearing my flighty with a Balinese bracelet and practicing my slide rule skills. Using it as a timer for total CPR elapsed time at work. Thank you for being hilarious.
Top episode, Russ!! Seriously one of your best so far, both in content and in your video production! Absolutely LOVE the Alpinist, glad you still have it!
Super show mate felt like 5 mins it was that entertaining 👍 what your wife said mate is gold and to bring in hour daughter at the end was awesome 👌👍 Keep up the great work my friend
Nice selection, really fancy getting a Willard in my collection. I sold my Alpinist a few years ago, just didn’t like it that much. Still got four Seikos in my collection though, the SKX009J, a flightmaster, a Lordmatic (my birth year watch, serial number checks out it rolled off the production line the same month I was born) and a gen 1 Orange Monster.
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR good luck. I had to risk ebay, it was sold as in good working order, it wasn’t. Paid £90 plus £30 shipping from the states and after an extra £140 and three months at a good watch repair centre it was all hunky dorey, like you say ebay and vintage watches are a mine field.
For me... Seiko is just a Seiko... Here in Switzerland this thing is invisible in many stores (imagine making a service, it's a MI thing), I had a Seiko (Chrono Quartz) a long time ago. I was more on the Casio side, you find these watches easily in stores. Now, my fav. brands are... Certina, Tissot and Mido and Swatch. Nice video and nice Seiko Collection.
Thank you for watching my friend! It’s great to get your opinion on the general watch market where I dare say most ofvthe watches for sale would be Swiss made!!!! Casio isn’t a competitor to any brand up to a point but this is interesting to know
Awesome selection of Seikos MWC! It’s easy to forget sometimes what an important brand Seiko really is. If I could pick one from your Seiko box it would have to be the SARB 033. Or the Alpinist. Or maybe the Flightmaster? Hmmm, the Willard does look really nice on the Uncle Seiko bracelet come to think of it. But I love that texture of that PADI dial on the Mini Turtle. And the Pogue is such an icon. Maybe I just need them all 🤔💸😂 Fantastic show as always MWC 👏👏👏👏
Power to you Russ lad. I love your seiko watch collection, apart from that stupid mini turtle! I've got a bit of a conundrum at the moment : shall I buy a BMW, or a bunch of Seikos????
The only two good Seiko's there are , are the captain Willard , and the Pogue! And I think of Seiko as a company that has found a way to f..... it's customers by ripping them off by giving them less and less watch for ever increasing prices on limited editions. And what's the best is that the dumb Seiko fanboy is willing to pay for the crap and tinking wow what a great deal I've got from Seiko! Loooool
Awesome collection that reflects the variety in the Seiko range I mentioned under the teaser picture you posted here a couple of days ago. I’d add an odd vintage Seiko 5 in there. Dirt cheap, so it doesn’t hurt as much as with the Pogue should some, uhm, weirdness come to light later. Found a nice little 5 from my birth month (April 85) on Etsy last year.
Excllent vid making me appreciate the Willard a bit more too, a definite future consideration, I am much more of a Seiko man these days, over the last 20yrs never really looked at them (save for the Pogue as I had a Moon watch fetish, but the shysters on eBay with incorrect dials, markings etc put me right off) my watches had to be Swiss and top dollar; a stupid mindset kept them all though, but these days I am enjoying the Seiko brand, have a fair few with the SNXS79 with Sapphire and Oyster bracelet, SNKL41 the baby of the baby GS, Flighty, SKX009 and 007 with an SRPD71K (that may be exiting stage left soonish). Sold my SARB017 as could not get on with it, the colour, the gold it was trying too hard for an Explorer type watch....missed the new 033/035....was thinking of one but inflated prices for a well used example keep deterring me. Think the black alpinist may be next....
GET OUT OF MY MIND! 😁I just spent a good 45 minutes trolling the Internet looking at Pogues thinking to myself "oh man, a lot of these have got to be crap...." , when a notification popped up for your video...will be extra careful now with your timely advice! A solid collection, representing a lot of Seiko's greatest hits. Cheers!
Wow i can tell you put your heart and soul into every videos You put out. Amazing quality work! I really enjoy your work. Keep up the good work! Thank you
I forgot you had so many Seikos! Thanks for going over them, very fun. Man I have been so tempted to EITHER buy the Arnie or the Flighty. Yikes decisions decisions.
What a fantastic collection and review. Loved it! For me, I’m desperate to find a Pogue “beer mat or otherwise” but I’m just scared to spend £750-£1000 and end up with a Frankenwatch. The search is on however! Any advice as to where to find one?

You dont need to buy a Grand Seiko Spring drive because info I found out below. If you come a cross a Seiko with a 6R35 caliber it is a Spring Drive you don't have to buy a Grand Seiko 6R15 caliber basically adds hand winding and hacking mechanism to 7S26 and is yet less expensive than most of the mainstream Seiko movements. It operates with 23 jewels, beats at 21,600 vph and holds magnificent 50 hours of power reserve with +25/-15 sec/day, which makes it quite a premium workforce. It is just a step below “high-beat” movements, but has greater power reserves and a great accuracy (compared to the “high beat” calibers) due to its Spron 510 mainspring. Seiko caliber 6R15 became famous by Seiko’s SARB (Spirit) series on Japanese market and its fame went global with Seiko’s “SUMO”, “Alpinist” and “62MAS Re-edition” watches series a bit later.

Another belter Russ, well done mate. What a lovely collection you have there, pretty much got all bases covered I have to say. Oh yeah and go get an SPB143- yes they are pricey but worth every penny trust me! If you want new though you’ll have to live with the lume at 3 o clock, or seek a 2nd hand one out like I did….cheaper too 😬
Loving the Alpinist and Arnie the best ... the Pogue is soooo eye catching with that gold dial but definitely a mine field ... a bit surprised no Presage yet?
I like how your daughter sneakily flipped us off! I think the Flightmaster is my favorite of the bunch. I’ve almost pulled the trigger a couple of times. I’m sure there’s one in my future!
That alpanist is absolutely stunning. This is the watch that truely peeked my interest into the world of watches. It's still top 3 on my list of watches I want in my coection
I’ve got my first seiko and first automatic watch to add to my collection the Seiko watch I got is the Seiko SRPK33K it’s beautiful watch my collection mainly contains quartz watches, or solar watches. It’s great to have an automatic in the mix and I’ve definitely got the Seiko bug I’m getting some more Seiko watches throughout this year. My next seiko watch I’m getting is the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer SSC813P Panda dial I absolutely love my watches. I’m obsessed with them eventually I’m gonna get myself a Rolex. My first luxury watch is going to be a Tudor
Michael from my retro watches is going through an illness right now he caught the cancer and could use as much support as possible just wanted throw that out there for him I'm sure he can use as much support as possible
Have worn a watch for decades but stuck with timex, G-shocks, Casio,and Citizens. All have been great watches but nearly a year ago I purchased a king turtle with green waffle dial SPRE05. I absolutely love this watch and this led to additional Seiko purchases. I since have purchased two Samurais - white waffle dial and dark save the ocean, and the 2019 Arnie! All are so awesome. I need that mini turtle PADI. Seiko has ignited my love for watches. I will be purchasing other brands as well, but I think am a Seikoholic…. That Marathon is in my sights.
Good day Sir! I just bought a Seiko 5 online at around $170 and i really doubt if this watch is legit🤦♂️ it is a Ref. SNKP14K1 Cal. 7S26, Automatic and Water Resist 50M base on the label provided. Please help me sir.😔🙏
sarb017, srpc41j1, sna411, I have snk803 beige dial instead black, instad of sarb033 I have fuyugshiki for my dress watch, I also have mod 62 mas and mm300, I want to buy skx013 many times but they dont have Japanese version which pull me back. I could say we have same taste mate !! Or is it just seiko mainstream lol

Hi Russell. Thanks for the shoutout mate appreciate that. If anyone wants educating on the rocky road of Pogue purchasing I am always happy to help!
Main thing is if it looks too new, especially the lume then it’s at least an aftermarket dial. Remember these watches are 50 years old!
6139 is ICONIC and Russell didn’t really discuss this in much detail but this movement was very nearly the world’s first automatic chronograph, some argue that it is the first mass produced. All this in 1968/69 then of course Mr Pogue secretly took his into space to time his engine burns because he had trained with this and was only given his Omega days before and he did not trust that as he had no experience with it.
I will leave you with this conundrum, how does a non hand winding automatic only watch actually work in space?????!!!!
You’re very welcome and thank you so much too Michael! I didn’t want to give too much away as it will be a future episode.
With regards to your last statement… 😉
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR whoops…
I always understood that the space station itself is low gravity, not zero gravity so the rotor would still rotate? May be completely wrong though!
Unfortunately this 6139 looks like a classic Philpino rework sh***ter watch. There are several unscrupulous sellers on ebay in the UK that attempt to pass these off as being in good original condition. I only buy vintage Seiko from the US, Australia or Japan to avoid this issue!
@@lawrenceh7182 I think it's that there is still inertia in space & so the watch will still wind

If you need a car get a car matey!
All these have replicas & I have few of them
The only two good Seiko's there are , are the captain Willard , and the Pogue!
And I think of Seiko as a company that has found a way to f..... it's customers by ripping them off by giving them less and less watch for ever increasing prices on limited editions. And what's the best is that the dumb Seiko fanboy is willing to pay for the crap and tinking wow what a great deal I've got from Seiko! Loooool
Hahaha just like supporting your football team through thick and thin!
Awesome collection that reflects the variety in the Seiko range I mentioned under the teaser picture you posted here a couple of days ago.
I’d add an odd vintage Seiko 5 in there. Dirt cheap, so it doesn’t hurt as much as with the Pogue should some, uhm, weirdness come to light later. Found a nice little 5 from my birth month (April 85) on Etsy last year.
I need to get a birth year Seiko! Thanks for watching my friend!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Always a pleasure ✌️
Just tagged you in a couple of Seiko posts, only tried my luck with Casio so far 😉
Excllent vid making me appreciate the Willard a bit more too, a definite future consideration, I am much more of a Seiko man these days, over the last 20yrs never really looked at them (save for the Pogue as I had a Moon watch fetish, but the shysters on eBay with incorrect dials, markings etc put me right off) my watches had to be Swiss and top dollar; a stupid mindset kept them all though, but these days I am enjoying the Seiko brand, have a fair few with the SNXS79 with Sapphire and Oyster bracelet, SNKL41 the baby of the baby GS, Flighty, SKX009 and 007 with an SRPD71K (that may be exiting stage left soonish). Sold my SARB017 as could not get on with it, the colour, the gold it was trying too hard for an Explorer type watch....missed the new 033/035....was thinking of one but inflated prices for a well used example keep deterring me. Think the black alpinist may be next....
This is superb my friend! Well I’m glad your finally a Seikoholic!!!;) the black Alpinist would be my pick of the new ones!
MWC are your wife's comments real? lol
Absolutely man trust me!!
Love that olive seiko...I have not seen that color green on any other driver
Thank you for sharing. Wonderful collection.
GET OUT OF MY MIND! 😁I just spent a good 45 minutes trolling the Internet looking at Pogues thinking to myself "oh man, a lot of these have got to be crap...." , when a notification popped up for your video...will be extra careful now with your timely advice! A solid collection, representing a lot of Seiko's greatest hits. Cheers!
Glad this video came at the right time for you my friend! Thanks for watching Moses!
Wow i can tell you put your heart and soul into every videos You put out. Amazing quality work! I really enjoy your work. Keep up the good work! Thank you
Sean! Appreciate that a lot my friend thank you!!!
I have the same watchbox. Haha. Great video man. 🤘🏻
6139 is an abslolute beauty ! My favorite.
I forgot you had so many Seikos! Thanks for going over them, very fun. Man I have been so tempted to EITHER buy the Arnie or the Flighty. Yikes decisions decisions.
Eventually you’ll have both!!! The ARNIE would be the winner for me! Someone said they are going for £300 on Amazon right now?!?!?!??
Your theme tune always puts a smile on my face 😃. I first saw the Marathon on the WrangleStar Channel, it's still on my list but not on my wrist.
Superb my friend! Always nice to have you stop by!
No cocktail? No sharp edge? There are so many seiko watches but you lean on a specific style. Less dress, more sports.
Because I am less dress more sports;)
Got the arnie about a month ego. Love it. Will be getting the urban safari automatic or as it is known: the analog Arnie next month.
Superb my friend!!!
Hey Russ, I am heading into town tomorrow to but my first Seiko!!Wish me luck Dr Paul.
Yes my friend!!!!! Hope it all goes well!!
Man I love your videos!! Very informative and superbly entertaining!! Keep ‘em coming my friend!!!
Cheers Jack appreciate that a lot!!
What a fantastic collection and review. Loved it! For me, I’m desperate to find a Pogue “beer mat or otherwise” but I’m just scared to spend £750-£1000 and end up with a Frankenwatch. The search is on however! Any advice as to where to find one?
If your on Facebook, join vintage watch groups or follow watch makers on Instagram. Thanks for watching Gervers!
Know how to spot one. This can be learnt quite easily . Join my Facebook group and / or Seiko passion group and ask questions.
My group is Retro & vintage watches & restorations
You could try Hub City Vintage in the US. They source original vintage Seikos & all their watches are serviced.
You dont need to buy a Grand Seiko Spring drive because info I found out below.
If you come a cross a Seiko with a 6R35 caliber it is a Spring Drive you don't have to buy a Grand Seiko 6R15 caliber basically adds hand winding and hacking mechanism to 7S26 and is yet less expensive than most of the mainstream Seiko movements. It operates with 23 jewels, beats at 21,600 vph and holds magnificent 50 hours of power reserve with +25/-15 sec/day, which makes it quite a premium workforce. It is just a step below “high-beat” movements, but has greater power reserves and a great accuracy (compared to the “high beat” calibers) due to its Spron 510 mainspring. Seiko caliber 6R15 became famous by Seiko’s SARB (Spirit) series on Japanese market and its fame went global with Seiko’s “SUMO”, “Alpinist” and “62MAS Re-edition” watches series a bit later.

I am surprised to not see a King Turtle or King Samurai in your collection. Try one out, I'd bet good money that it will make it into this collection.
Thanks Fletcher!! King Turtle is definitely a maybe ! Tried the stealth black Samurai but it looked too big for me on the wrist ! Plus I was too distracted by the Tuna!!!!;)
Can you make your content accessible by formatting the auto captioning into closed captioning? It is extremely hard to enjoy your content having to keep concentration on the auto captioning and not be able to see your content properly sadly
Edward! Thank you for this and I’m sorry you don’t enjoy it! Can you explain what you mean my friend?
Another belter Russ, well done mate. What a lovely collection you have there, pretty much got all bases covered I have to say. Oh yeah and go get an SPB143- yes they are pricey but worth every penny trust me! If you want new though you’ll have to live with the lume at 3 o clock, or seek a 2nd hand one out like I did….cheaper too 😬
So besides the regular watch diagnosis you have the seiko affliction as well, poor mwc
I know!!!!!!!!!!
“Looks like a beer mat” sorry but she’s right lol. Thanks for another fab video :-)
Hahaha cheers Martin!
Here for the show🍿
Loving the Alpinist and Arnie the best ... the Pogue is soooo eye catching with that gold dial but definitely a mine field ... a bit surprised no Presage yet?
Hi Karl! I’m not a dressy fella and presage’s just don’t speak to me as I’d never wear them! Some of the dials are superb though!!
A grandad's watch your Mrs grandad must be really cool 😉😂😂😂
Hahahshshshs
Seiko are great watches I have at least 30 of them last time I counted them.
Amazing!!!! Favourite????
The splicing and editing on this video are ridiculous to create that madness! lol!
It’s gotta be fun man otherwise I’m just like everyone else!;)
Raising prices, discontinued watches, re-releases, limited editions.
Ok?
I like how your daughter sneakily flipped us off! I think the Flightmaster is my favorite of the bunch. I’ve almost pulled the trigger a couple of times. I’m sure there’s one in my future!
Double W! Got to get one!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Soon….I can feel it!
Great video and unconventional which is what make this channel work so well.
Thank you very much my friend! Turns a lot of people off to;) I appreciate the support!
Spotted the MASK logo in background 👌 🥰🥰🥰
Yesssss!!!! I was waiting for someone to spot it!!!! Classic!!!!
That alpanist is absolutely stunning. This is the watch that truely peeked my interest into the world of watches. It's still top 3 on my list of watches I want in my coection
Just such a different looking watch to anything else but somehow that doesn’t mean we don’t like it! We love it!;)
I’ve got my first seiko and first automatic watch to add to my collection the Seiko watch I got is the Seiko SRPK33K it’s beautiful watch my collection mainly contains quartz watches, or solar watches. It’s great to have an automatic in the mix and I’ve definitely got the Seiko bug I’m getting some more Seiko watches throughout this year. My next seiko watch I’m getting is the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer SSC813P Panda dial I absolutely love my watches. I’m obsessed with them eventually I’m gonna get myself a Rolex. My first luxury watch is going to be a Tudor
We really don't deserve this level of video editing and production! Too good!
You are way too kind my friend!! Thank you!!
I love my Seikos, and the 017 will always be with me!
Superb my friend! That’s a great watch!
"Looks Like a Beer-Mat!" 😂😂
Great choice in picking up that alpinist my friend! 🔥
Thank you man!
Michael from my retro watches is going through an illness right now he caught the cancer and could use as much support as possible just wanted throw that out there for him I'm sure he can use as much support as possible
We’ve had a private chat my friend. I’m 100% here if he needs me Dillon !
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR I was just letting everyone else know, honestly I assumed that you knew 😊😉😊😉
Love the video(s)!!! Keep up the great work MWC!!
Cheers Jon!!!
Actually, it's very appropriate for you to have green dial watches since you're British. Cheers.
Hahahaha yes definitely! I just don’t like green usually!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR The heart knows what the heart knows.
Great collection enjoyed the video
Just listened to "Trampoline" for the first time today. OMG, man! You made me weep. Thank you for doing what you do.
Thank you, Russel. So very much.
Have worn a watch for decades but stuck with timex, G-shocks, Casio,and Citizens. All have been great watches but nearly a year ago I purchased a king turtle with green waffle dial SPRE05. I absolutely love this watch and this led to additional Seiko purchases. I since have purchased two Samurais - white waffle dial and dark save the ocean, and the 2019 Arnie! All are so awesome. I need that mini turtle PADI. Seiko has ignited my love for watches. I will be purchasing other brands as well, but I think am a Seikoholic…. That Marathon is in my sights.
(I LOVE PAUL) laughin my ars off. Jajajajajajajajajajaja hahahahaha jajajajajajajajajajaja
Hahahahahahaha
Good day Sir! I just bought a Seiko 5 online at around $170 and i really doubt if this watch is legit🤦♂️ it is a Ref. SNKP14K1 Cal. 7S26, Automatic and Water Resist 50M base on the label provided. Please help me sir.😔🙏
sarb017, srpc41j1, sna411, I have snk803 beige dial instead black, instad of sarb033 I have fuyugshiki for my dress watch, I also have mod 62 mas and mm300, I want to buy skx013 many times but they dont have Japanese version which pull me back.
I could say we have same taste mate !! Or is it just seiko mainstream lol
