Brian May’s Red Special Seiko 5
So I picked up this Ltd edition Brian May Seiko 5 with it’s Red Special dial, guitar case box with his signature, six pence pick, nato strap that resembles the guitar neck. A little too gimmicky but I got suckered in anyway. Actually I much preferred the silver case V1 but it was sold out so I picked up this gold V2 Instead. In the box it looked great. Not so great on my wrist at first but it grew on me. What do you guys think.

I’m a watch-holic, a watch-addict and recently a watch-cruncher. I'm drawn to watches that have interesting back stories, unique or unusual design language and limited in numbers.

Never seen the silver case version in person, but have seen the gold version at an AD.
Imo the gold version works well with the textured red and black dial. Classic color combinations and the nato with the gold striping is a nice touch instead of being lazy and throwing a black nato. Seiko does the limited edition well with certain details.
I've the same and same story with me.. Wanted the silver one... I have worn mine once to an actual queen concert lol... Don't think I will be wearing it to be honest, I'm a big queen fan so will be keeping it tho
Brian May is a legend. If only it chimed We Will Rock You on the hour 😁
I have seen this watch. I am not a Seiko guy. But every day I have to resist the urge to visit the website and hit the purchase button. I love it.
I like the idea of a guitar themed watch.
