So i have finally sorted out some pictures for my unboxing.
The link takes you to their website with some fantastic pictures from inside. I wish i had remembered to take my camera out of my bag for a Spacewalk picture, but i was so overwhelmed by the customer service from Delphine and the joy from purchasing what has been my grail watch (even more than my 6105-8119) that i completely forgot.
The extent and range of high end Seiko's on display was just breathtaking. I would highly recommend a visit to them if you ever get the chance to be in Paris. You will not be disapointed.

So onto the eye candy. (appologies for the not so good photos)
The little bag of goodies from Paris,
A different type style of printing on box than what we have seen from those purchasing direct from Japan. I never noticed this at the time so was unable to ask the reason why.
Could be for the european market sales...
Even so, the finish in the box is of a very high quality. Giving the impression of wood rather than card.
With the box lid removed to show the internal felt material lining and the all important 2 year quarantee.
And then to the joy that lies within. The spare rubber strap held in place by means of material expanding bands. I tried so hard to limit the glare on the crystal but failed.
The money shot...
The best shots i could get...
This watch will be no drawer queen. I intend to wear it as much as possible. As can be seen it already has a mark on the bracelet. Happened on the last day in Paris
while having a very nice coffee sitting outside in the spring sun. It rubbed against those little round metal tables outside the cafe's and bars.
Need to get some hints from Neilo on removing marks.
Side by side with my work horse SKX007K. Now taking a well earned rest within my watch display box.
The obligatory wrist shot with some flecks of lint on the glass and insert.
While speaking with the staff in the shop about what other Seiko's i have, she gave me gave me 'his & hers' freebies.
Now what could these be?
Real leather 'Seiko Center' embossed mobile phone sleeves. Does this now mean i now need to get an iPhone...?
Also a perfect size for my 32gb iPod touch... (i realy must practice taking photo's of watches)
They also let me take a copy of the Seiko 130th Anniversery book. I was so tempted to slip two into my bag.
Dedicated to perfection...
The massive Spacewalk watch. If only i was brave enough to ask if i could try on the one they had on display. Photographs dont do it justice.
And so its time to say 'au revoir' to Paris. But in the imortal words of Arnie "i'll be back'.
