Reminds my of my Seiko collection ,,, I started in 1974 with a 6138 chronograph in gold , and last count scared me ,, over 50 now with Automatics , Divers , Kinetic's , Solar , Astron's ( which are amazing ) , with 2 Grand Seiko's as icing , but I love them all . I rotate them all 10 at a time over a few weeks , its fun . Thank you .
Absolutely loving that green dial Alpinist and the SARA011. Two Seikos that won't leave my collection are my ice blue Presage Cocktail Time and my SUP88O tank ... well unless I get a JLC Reverso Duoface or Cartier Tank/Santos ... and those aren't particularly likely.
Great selection and great Stories Gary. You're killing me with that SBTM307 at the end - I mistakenly searched for 'SBTM' and found another beauty - SBTM339 - down the rabbit hole... love me a solar and this one is titanium + blue dial + minimal dial branding + radio wave correction (not fussed bout that last 'feature'). Gotta do the niteclub bouncer principle of 'only letting one in when one goes out' ;)
The last grand seiko you featured was absolutely stunning. if thats a solar quartz then im sold to it! I'm 25 and currently own 2 watches, a G-Shock 5610 and a Seiko SKX007 i bought second hand. I love these two to death!
So I think you were saying that you still had 017 alpinist in your collection!? I have a lot of seiko’s in my collection and that’s become my favorite. Consider picking up a strap code Jubilee.For it. They have fitted endlinks made just for the watch. My biggest regret is having sold my Saab 033. I’ve been trying to add it back in to my collection and they’re just not to be found for less than 2 1/2 times the original retail. Thanks for the great video!
Very nice Gary! I recently bought a Seiko SCVE051 on a holiday in Japan. It's a blue dial open heart. I'd describe it as a budget presage. I couldn't find any reviews in English. Maybe a project for you?! 😊
I saw a lot of "White dial GADA" watches in there, (both owned and sold). That's one area I just don't own! And I don't know why?! They look great. I have too many black dial watches. We all have our issues. ;)
I get some of my watches from Japan , believe me the second hand watches you can get are superb . they use a really good scale to say what condition they are in .Also they sell models that are hard to get here , well worth a look . Im in to Prospex, and Arnie Seikos at the moment . But i just love those Grand Seikos , pure class .
Hi Gary,now you’ve got the Seiko itch out of the way,glad to hear that you’re doing a combined version. So can you also pick your number one watch,out of all of them and why.
Great collection. But I concur in that they were too many Seikos. Get the Turtle back!!! The predominant brand in my collection is also Seiko. It has been a fantastic brand, hope they don't astray to much
Bought the SBTM305 (blue dial model) after your review, great purchase, love the watch which gets lots of wrist time. Thank you for that and Regards Gary
That old sentimental, broken old Seiko. So many of us have one. I gaze on the mighty SQ100 text on mine and weep that movements are no longer available. So they remain tucked away and every so often we put a battery in them in the vain hope of a long-lost tick. Stay strong brother. Stay strong.
I’ve looked at the baby turtle getting expensive to buy in now with the tax import etc I’ve got the Land Turtle which is similar got decent price on eBay on one of
I can't help but notice you don't have any Seiko limited edition stuff designed and released "exclusively" for south east Asian nations like Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. They are fire! 🔥
Oh, right the SARB033. It was a fantastic little watch but it's no longer there. It had to go to fund something even better, a Grand Seiko!. It's a shame Seiko don't make quality movements like the 4L any more. It's all the same now, 4R and 6R, reliable but quite boring.
There was a time (about 10-15 years ago) when Seiko watches we're dirt cheap. Then I believe a few RUclips creators caused a revival of the Seiko SK009 divers and the popularity sadly drove the price up. Nice watches btw Gary. 👍🙂🇬🇧
I know the feeling - I went to the cinema to watch the last John Wick film despite hating every John Wick film I've seen in the cinema. I keep seeking out John Wick related videos on RUclips as well. Can't stand them.
The Quartz Seiko at the end is the SBTM307
its such beautiful watch
Watching this while wearing my SARB033, had it for 6 years and it's going nowhere.
A trip down memory lane to see these watches still hold their own Thanks for sharing my friend and Be well
Loved the flashback video clips! And the watches too but more the clips.

I’ll take a look! Thanks
Orient for me, four Bambinos, a Kamasu, and a couple of Orient Stars. The only Seiko I have if a Prospex Alpinist Deep Lake, it's a keeper.
Steel finishing on Orient watches is very poor, I find it hard to enjoy them
I have a couple of Casio Oceanus, the finishing on those things rivals Grand Seiko.
Iam shocked and stunned. What a great collection

Love this episode! I am a Seiko lover as well.
Some absolute stunners there Gary. Very jealous!
Interesting walk down memory lane. I have a few Seikos but non that you have/had, just shows how many models they must have made.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing!

That SARA011 is chef kiss good-looking.
Oh yes…just stunning!
That's a solid collection of Seiko and GS!
Great collection
surprised you sold the Alba AKA & the Dolce, bought them based off your reviews, but I’m keeping them 😁
Just beautiful perfect collection!
Check out the Sagz083, or not, whatever. If you live in America, check out the Seiko caliber 7B24. Gary, You look really good in a suit jacket.
Nice collection, that gs are lovely
The sbga373 is one of my favourite watches
I just sold that same Japanese Seiko...instant regret after seeing this video.
Hey Gary, what is the model number of the watch at 8:12? Thanks
was that a strapcode on the mini turtle? i dont think ive ever seen that watch look that good!.in black with the red text......banger!
Yes….great strap
I’ve looked at the baby turtle getting expensive to buy in now with the tax import etc I’ve got the Land Turtle which is similar got decent price on eBay on one of
So is the common name for that SBGA373 Grand Seiko now the 'pub watch'? 😈😉
🤦🏻♂️
@@ilikewatches... sorry Gary that story never gets old ... it's like 'dad's words of wisdom' ... "don't hand your expensive watch to a guy in a bar".
I know…I’m glad I helped everyone learn a very hard lesson
No "Willard" ??
I can't help but notice you don't have any Seiko limited edition stuff designed and released "exclusively" for south east Asian nations like Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. They are fire! 🔥
Can you suggest one?
@@ilikewatches there's tons of them but the ones that caught my eye are : srph38k1, srpf33k1, spb345j1, srpj55, srpe14k1, spb24j, srph35k, srpk59k1
@@ilikewatches im late but the thailand mm300 is crazy
What’s the model number on the textured black dial with 12 and 6 numeral only?
Love for SBGN027 Gran Seiko 😍

Hi I love your videos can I ask you what platform you sell your watches? Thanks
Links in my video descriptions....thanks for watching!
Thanks
Cannot go wrong with a GS.

Nice watches btw Gary. 👍🙂🇬🇧
All your watches look immaculate, is this because they are on permanent rotation.
I’m very careful with them and rarely get to wear them because I wear watches that I’m reviewing most the time
Makes sense keep up the good work.
Thank you
What's the Seiko quartz model at the end you're thinking of rebuying
SBTM307
Nice collection, whats the quartz model called with the very clear AR coating? (the one you sold but want to buy back)
SBTM307
@@ilikewatches Thank you
What about SNA411? That was a really cool watch.
Yup. Sold it too
@@ilikewatches Bummer. Was really looking forward to the review.
I need a SKX
Where do you sell your watches.
EBay
Gary, I am still asking myself in what part of your body you get the „tingles“, when you look at some watches?😂
Gary, what is the reference for the Seiko you wore on 8:05?
Why not do a full collection? Why a video for seiko specifically?
Not sure, just thought it would be a good video
Why not comment on every other RUclips video? Why comment on this one specifically?
There is no Monster. Not even one. 😭
I won't buy another Seiko, unless it's the Sje093j1 or similar 62mas reissue
Why did you sell the divers watch - SPB313J
Keanu!
Your 1st wish list looks likes a Ball
Speaking of movements Thank God you weren't sitting on that Toilet 🚽😳
i cant stand seiko
Sit
