I have a SSC015 as one of my collections of watches, is that what you mean? I really like this watch alot. Bracelt has diver extension somemore.. Intend to get the other variant of the same series, I guess this is call collecting.

Re: is seiko solar diver watches good to buy n collect?
It depends on individual.
If you're buying all the 6 different variants as a set for "investment" such that when they're discontinued in the future, you won't loose much on what you have spent... forget about it. Watches are never good investment.
However, in different case... for example like me, hoot all 4 different variants just for the purpose wearing for a week, yes... they're worth "collecting" as every single day you get different face on your wrist. The same goes to the Bambinos as well as the Monsters...
The Seiko Solar Chrono diver, aka SSC'd which I often regard as, looks good both in office as well as outfield. Although the advantage of being powered by Solar energy and being Quartz watch gives the ease in saving from frequent time setting when compared to Mechanical, the Solar Chrono movement doesn't get enough charge in most office environment due to fluorescent lighting in contrast to sunlight charging.
Currently, if you go for P.I. stocks, priced below 250, it's a good buy. Fun? For me yeah, for you... it depends on your preference.

Re: is seiko solar diver watches good to buy n collect?
Well said. To have fun and enjoy what you have is really what this is about imho. Of course, many enjoy different aspects of a watch so that they collect or assemble collections based soley on that. In this sense if you enjoy the technical aspect of a solar watch, yes, it is worth collecting. It may be the design you are into, or the colours, if yes then it is worth collecting.Ed.YEO wrote:It depends on individual.

I have one in amongst my watches, more for the sake of wanting to have as complete a set of mechanisms that power time pieces as I can, affordability permitting.
Enjoy your journey, know what you want.

No point collecting. Buy it to wear and enjoy. If lose feel, sell it. Buy buy buy...sell sell sell...This is what makes the world goes round.

Re: is seiko solar diver watches good to buy n collect?
By my definition, if you more than necessary is collecting.. You only need one working watch, probably one for diefferent occasion. Any excess is called collecting. I'm definitely collecting..

Don't know about collecting but definitely a good buy. I have bought a pair of Seiko solar and now have caught the bug.
Japanese watches rock!!!
Re: is seiko solar diver watches good to buy n collect?
thank you for replying.glad to know the reasons why u chose a solar. becos i am going to buy three differnet color and kept them and rotate for daily beater.
i also got 3 kinetic diver.so i can wear alll of them for a long long time.
in the past i buy one seiko and wear daily for 2 year, end up the watch suffer wear and tear and i give up on watches.
now i try a differnet approach.

Re: is seiko solar diver watches good to buy n collect?
different people collects differently.
some will get 3 watches; a dress watch, a diver watch & a quartz/digital watch. All bases covered.
WIS will buy & buy... & buy, always have a reason to add on a new watch, though they are wearing the same few as daily beater.
Some like to collect a set, for eg; Seiko Sumo, collect all 3 variants.
Ultimately, it depends on one's need.
Your 3 solar & 3 kinetic, like you said, will definitely last you a long time

Lovin this discussion. One has got to reconcile that collecting watches can barely/only/ at most hold it's "2nd hand value". When a person buys a BNIB watch she/he will automatically be 20-40% poorer, sometimes more. My best advise, buy pre-own!

Re: is seiko solar diver watches good to buy n collect?
I would like to start "collecting" Seiko Monsters. My first Orange Monster has bitten me hard.
So my view is, if you like the watch(es) and can afford it, go ahead!
