Hey y'all,

I fell in love with this brand last year and I can't wait to pick up the 35mm Antarctic soon.

Im not particularly tenured here, but I don't think I've seen anyone post one in our WRUW threads?

Who else has one?

Who else wants one?

Let's see!

Hey there hi there,

I was hoping to talk to you friends about vintage LCD digital Seiko.
I've been buying Seiko's for over a decade now, fairly obsessively.
They've all been automatic or manual wind.
That is, until I saw a sweet 1970s digital Seiko at a local shop.
It was the first-ever-digital model for the brand, and I loved the feel.
The looks are hit or miss, but all distinctly retro 70s/80s.
When I think of digital watches, Ive always thought plastic.
But not these original digi...

This is bound to get spicy, but I'm being serious.
I'm just curious if anyone else feels this way...
I really really don't like the idea of having another man's full name on my watch.
Christopher Ward?
Ulysse Nardin?
Richard LeGrand?
Maurice Lacroix?
Rodger Dubois?
Dan Henry?
Puh-lease.
At least Audimars Piguet, Vacheron Constantine, Patek Phillip are two separate names.
At least companies like Panerai or Ford just use a concise last name.
Personally speaking, I can't imagine making a...

I've noticed Pogue guys have difficulty owning just one.
I'm talking about all the colors, not just the classic yellow.
The guy I bought my first Pogue from had 15 other examples.
And I just bought my second Pogue, the coke speedtimer variant.
That seller was a collector as well.
Now I feel the strong draw to buy the blue, silver, and teal dials too.
If I'm truly psychotic I'll then hunt for proof, resist, and blank variants of each.
Then maybe the different...

I've got an interesting one for ya...
"Anthony" was a Swiss microbrand in the 60s and 70s.
They licensed cases and designed their own dials.
I've been collecting them for about 8 years now.
Never seen the same model twice - especially this one.
This chronograph in particular is absolutely wild.
Super colorful and fun.
Purple sunray dial with lume.
Blue, yellow, white, gray, orange chapter ring.
Red lollipop second hand.
Orange regala 5min countdown chronograph.
Gray rotating faded bezel...

Hey y'all

Who already owns a birth-year-Seiko?!
Who's on the hunt?!
Post a photo of the one you own...
Or the one you want to find!

I recently missed out on a stunning 1987 6039.
And that's realllllly bothering me.
Now I'm running serial #'s off random listings like a psycho.
Here's the two options I'm trying to find...
