ITS FINALLY HERE!
My grandfather learned about my new hobby and gifted me his November 1975 Seiko Pogue! I love it so much and today it finally came back from being serviced. I especially love the white inner bezel for cultural reasons (🇵🇭) 😄 aswell as the heat damage on the dial which calls back to my family's history in engineering. I'm so lucky and honoured to inherit such an awesome timepiece.

Thank you! Yes, setting the day date is very fun with it's quirky double push system.

That’s a grea and iconic watch and even better that it has a great family history associated with it. Wear it well and pass it down to future generations 👍🏻👍🏻

Congratulations, nice watch.
Thank you!
Beautiful look after it
Thank you!
I love this story. It’s so great how watches can build even tighter bonds between people. Enjoy it!
Thanks! It truly is amazing how watches tell stories and become memories.
Very special! I recently inherited an old Seiko Bellmatic from the 70s that used to grace my grandfathers wrist. Hopefully will get a service this year then be with me for a long time to come. Congrats again to you!
Thank you! Hopefully the service goes well. I love the bellmatic!
This is just perfect. The watch is historic in its own right, being the first automatic chronograph ever released, then the first one in space, but to have it be a family heirloom with such a personal story…it’s what we all dream of. You could end your watch collection right here and nobody could top it.

Definitely one of the greatest Seiko of all time. I am very fortunate to have this piece in my collection.
