The Heart Wants

I kept coming across this sucker. I know it’s plain, but it just called to me, and then the price dropped. I had no choice, and I love it.

Plain is the best. I love plain. Beautiful Seiko👌

What's the reference number? Looks great. I've got a thing for silver dials.

SUR447P1, in the Essentials collection. I found it cheapest at Jomashop.

Just showed it to my wife, who asked, “How is it different from your Grand Seiko?” (Which I just acquired yesterday). For a $100 watch I love, that’s a huge win (And the answer: The end of the bracelet points the right way on this one!).

I’m just getting started in all this craziness, and I seem to have a thing for silver (and white) dials, too. Damn the Silver Timex Marlin that got me into this mess 😜.

Note that this watch also comes in a green/gold colorway.

Damn! You just got into this and are already in Grand Seiko land? Fair play!

Thanks! Never would have done it on my own (with kids to educate and a major home renovation about to start), but Mom was very generous with holiday gifts this year following Dad’s death in October. Knowing my practicality, she was specific that the money was to go to watches and not into savings, in thanks for all I had done to manage family affairs. I’m actually pretty proud to have turned $3k into 12 watches including a new GS. I think I did pretty well.

Clean look 👌 Nothing to complain about

Congrats and enjoy, bud! 🍻 I agree with @WatchYourIntruder. Plain and simple is simply beautiful. 😍 White dials are quietly mesmerizing... 😉

Thanks, my friend. Now I gotta go spend a few hours staring at the pictures of the razor-sharp dauphine hands set against the white dial on that Seiko 5. Gorgeous!

Enjoy the hours long stare, bud! 🥳🍻 Better yet, get one for yourself! It's the SNKL41. And most likely, it's still selling around $80-100. 😉

38mm, Automatic, $123. I am sitting in the car dealership getting new brakes on my daughter‘s car. I want to get her the GOOD brake pads (Callahans, if you’re a Chris Farley fan). You are NOT helping!

Hehehe... If there's any left from the $3k your Mom gave you, then it's quite affordable. 😉 On our local e-commerce platform Lazada, it costs between $90-100. Its dimensions are actually: 37.2mm Diameter | 41.9mm LTL | 10.5mm Thickness | 18mm Lug Width. 
It's a quietly stunning, versatile, and legendary white dial piece, often recommended by YT watch enthusiasts.

I heartily recommend it too. 🍻 #losblancos #leyendablanca #snkl41

For another stunning silver dial, check out the Seiko5 SNXS73.

@AttinoiBaf has one, as do a many number of other Crunchers. If you ask them about it, they will surely say it's a silver timepiece you can't do without. 😉💯

My kids’ college fund isn’t gonna be destroyed by one Patek Phillipe, but by 200 white and silver Seikos.

Choose wisely then. 😉
