NWA - King Seiko SPB283J1

Thanks to everyone who voted on my poll. Easter Sale has arrived at the local Seiko AD, so I pulled the trigger and I absolutely love the little beast...

Stepping into entry level luxury watches.

I prefer the King Seiko because... it is a King Seiko (makes any sense?), but I am curious what would you guys choose.

One watchbox, three mini-collections

Three of my favorite watch brands: Atlantic, Hamilton, and the most loved - and hated - of them all; Seiko.

I would sell the TAG, Glashutte, Tudor, and MontBlanc from only one perspective: those are the watches I'd wear the least out of the bunch.

Different in style, yes, but not so different in wrist feel and versatility. I tend towards the KS, because my heart wants it. I don't care about its accuracy at all - although if I chose a Longines, I would.

I will wait for a discount campaign anyway, not going to rush into the purchase.

I would totally love to get a vintage 44KS in good condition, but I wouldn't buy a vintage watch before holding it in my hand first.

I got the black one. The dial has a grainy texture and a discreet brown sunburst effect under direct light. However mine has the bezel slightly misaligned and very stiff - it softens a bit after continuous movement, but stiffens back after some time. And the crown is slippery. Aside that, for 220$ that I paid, it is a great watch.

Yup. In low light it turns a dark deep red and the pattern fades, while the indices still shine. It is a beauty.

Yes, they are not discontinued as far as I know.

This one. My jaw dropped when I noticed it at the AD. After a period of Seiko hate, a year later I bought it at retail, after missing several discount campaings. It is the first watch I don't care about its accuracy at all. Not even about setting the date sometimes.

Cheap fashion watch or no watch at all?

Some time ago my nephew, 29 years old, asked me to replace his quartz watch battery. I was surprised to see that, although he generally dresses pretty well and has good taste in clothes and shoes, he...
