Seiko Speedtimer

This watch first caught my attention in Aug 2022 when I was looking for a Chrono for my tiny wrist. At the time it was sold out everywhere so I never got to see it in person. Fast forward to January 2023 and I walked into a Seiko boutique and they happened to have a few pieces. Tried it on and immediately fell in love with the fit and finish on the watch. Told the AD I didn’t want to be impulsive and he was very accomodating.

A week later (today) I went back to the store to get it! Loved the process of getting it - the boutique manager was extremely friendly and gave me a sweet discount, resized it perfectly and put a bright smile on my face.

Nice Watch and story 👍🏻

My father owns the same Seiko and it’s really cool

Congrats great looking watch

I have the same model. Even though it is not expensive, it is by far my most complimented watch. You are going to love it even more. Enjoy this beauty 🥂

Sweet! I’m going to wear the stock bracelet before I decide whether I like it or not. Is that from Strapcode?

Yes. It is the JUB-II from Strapcode. The original bracelet is nice too.

Good taste! I’m waiting and hoping to see if Uncle Seiko whips out an oyster for this bad boy too! Before I even made the purchase I already had my eyes on the black face one 😝

Beautiful watch, one of the Seikos that do tempt me.

These are great. I have the black one on a nato, which looks great I think. My only frustrating issue is it is a bit small for my wrist so sadly I’m going to exit it. Love the idea of the quartz chrono but struggling to see what to replace it with at this price point (and good looks)…

·

I have the "Egg Custard(:D)" variant one and love it. Looks great with brown leather straps - I'd imagine your white one will look incredible with black leather/sailcloth straps. Great choice!

·

Plus the chronograph function is the ultimate "fidget spinner" 😂

·

Nice watch and this is how an AD should treat it's customers. If it wasn't repeat business that is.!

I'm sure you'll remember their service standards and go back to them again in the future.👍

There is a new 41mm version for the same price.

It is a good thing my AD never has stock of the panda dials in both sizes when I go by, or it would have been an impulsive purchase without a doubt 😅

Will definitely add this to the collection sooner.

Though sadly not the plain black version

·

That is a really cool looking Seiko. I’m tempted…

·

I had the same one but sold it because I found it too small. Now I have a Seiko Prospex "Sumo" Solar Chronograph Divers 140th Anniversary Limited Edition SBDL083 / SSC807J1 which has the same movement.

Nice experience and superb watch. Enjoy it!

If you can afford to go up a little, the Baltic chrono is a beauty - may be suitable for you cos it’s slightly bigger. Although it’s out of stock at the moment but certainly one to watch!

Nice! I couldn’t appreciate the colour until I saw it in person and it’s been growing on me since! I’m contemplating a either a black leather with contrasting white stitch for that sporty look, or a light grey Nubuck (it doesn’t sound like it’ll match but Baltic does it with their panda chrono and man it’s good-looking!)

Well said! Helps that they have grand Seiko so I can slowly make my way up 😂😂

It looks even better in person - I’m sure it’s a matter of time for you 🙊

That one’s a bit of a nod to the first Speedtimer - a classic colour way of sorts I’d say!
