Hello to everyone on seiko club.. newbie = first post
Thought I'd ask - out of the multitude of Seiko watches available through the sixties, seventies and into eighties, if you were to pick 3 favourites, which would they be? Sentimental, iconic design, importance etc

I have a 7015 8000 which I've been wearing as a 'beater' to see if I like the Seiko vibe, which I do. Though I'm guessing the 8000 won't be on many lists!

I got a Seiko Gold Feather manufactured in 1961. It's one of Seiko's thinnest mechanical watch.

From my current collection ....
6159-7010 --> iconic diver ....
6156-8000 (wished it was a 6186 ... ) --> when I need something thin
7548-7010 with 6309 movement mod --> daily beater
If I could add one more , it would be the 4006-7000 (27J) --> for travels where a backup alarm is critical ...
I do NOT need another watch , I have enough watches ...

This is a hard question. All the iconic divers, chronos, Hi-beat, lo-beat... Can't decide when it comes to vintages. Haha
Make it easier on myself, I'll choose 3 modern pieces and something that is useful for wearing (to me).
It'll have to be one diver, one dress and one complication.
1. Diver: MM300 SBDX012
2. Dress: 44GS SBGW047
3. Complication: Hi-Beat Gmt GS SBGJ001

Hmmm, its a tough choice. I'm not really a fan of vintage Seikos but I really like the modern day releases.
If i had to pick just 3, they'll be:
1. GRAND SEIKO SBGE015
2. SEIKO PROSPEX SBDX012
3. SEIKO PROSPEX SBEX001
and allow me to add 2 more if you may because 3 is simply not enough.
4. GRAND SEIKO GMT SBGE029G
5. GRAND SEIKO CHRONO SBGB003

I always have a thing with gold indices on black dials.
