I remember Seiko being my father's watch since the beginning of my memories. I was seeing a Seiko mechanical watch on my father's wrist from the 1980's. From those days too my father used to tell it's a Japanese watch and is a good one. Everyday before going to office, he used to wind it. It had a dark green dial. So I already knew this brand way back from the 1980's era.
I never thought in today's times I will ever be able to afford a Seiko mechanical watch. But ...
Purchased this watch for my upcoming trip. Looks great, quality build, the bracelet is comfortable. The case finish and back are great to look at. The value on this GMT watch is unmatched.
