I’ve fallen down the Seiko buying rabbit hole 😂
Good evening and thanks for allowing me to join your forum of watch enthusiasts. I have had a watch fetish for many years and love everything about watches and timekeeping.
Seiko dive watches have been my latest obsession since mid 2022 and I am completely hooked on them. I love the various case designs, dials and colors that draw me in. I know that Seiko has QC issues but still love their pieces, history and heritage.
I look forward to learning from all of you who are experienced and knowledgeable about Seiko Watches since I have only begun to scratch the surface.
Have a great rest of your Sunday and look forward to getting to know you all.
This is my latest Seiko purchase: SBDC111 Willard!

Sounds like my issue all along😂! Thankshe's making that up, this is a bottomless pit
steal a man's wallet, he'll be poor for the day, show a man a rotating bezel,
he'll be poor his whole life
the humor gets dark down here. wecome!
I have only experienced the alignment issues so far and yes I have been a WUS member since 2017 and just learned about this forum from a member who sold me a Seiko today.Welcome to the site! Such a fun rabbit hole to fall intoJust curious, do you have 1st hand QC issues? or did you just come from WUS lolololol

It seems to me that on WUS the haters fall into three main categories, the SPD Brigade who seem to only like Swiss chronometers recently serviced or new, the Spec Brigade who only look at the, well, specs and are often aliX fans, and the Alignment Brigade who are really just Seiko haters who for the most part have no 1st hand experience and they never seem to hate on Mido, Glycine, Rado ect. Then there is a 4th Brigade I will call the WIS-OCD Brigade, every watch has to pass a 10x or 20x inspection for minute flaws and if they get one mark on a bezel, the watch is a gonner. I do think everyone's boat floats a bit different and most boats have holes in them, I just don't dig the haters is all, my iggie list there is 10 times the number of users as here I am grateful for that feature.
I am grateful for that feature.You nailed it on the head😉👍. I notice that a lot. I am far from a hater and keep an open mind on all my watch brands. I expect my watches to have imperfections since mine do not fall into the luxury or high end categories. I am quite happy and pleased with all my Seiko watches and look forward to trying out more in the future.It seems to me that on WUS the haters fall into three main categories, the SPD Brigade who seem to only like Swiss chronometers recently serviced or new, the Spec Brigade who only look at the, well, specs and are often aliX fans, and the Alignment Brigade who are really just Seiko haters who for the most part have no 1st hand experience and they never seem to hate on Mido, Glycine, Rado ect.

FWIW, I started as a Seiko hater. Cheap junk, or in the case of modern offerings, overpriced junk... Then my dad (whom I only met as an adult) gifted me his Seiko World Time from when I was born... This was the first Seiko I had time for (pun intended), and it opened my mind up to a whole new world of very cool watches. Long story short, the last couple years have been a blur, I own over 100 Seiko's now, and have authored one (soon to be two) vintage Seiko, series-specific websites here:
Bell-matics are next.
I own a few modern Seikos, including some Time Sonars and a Turtle. Your Willard re-edition is also on my short list. Glad you have found your way here - though realize you are in a forum full of enablers
Seiko is kind of like Rolex for me - in that I find it easy (and completely defensible) to love and hate them at the same time. Completely different ends of the market (at least if we ignore Grand Seiko) - but similar emotional journey.
EDIT: if you stick with Seikos from the movies (like your Willard re-edition), you could be going for a while. Look into the Arnie (Predator), the Ripley and Bishop (Aliens), the various James Bond watches, an original Willard (Apocalypse Now), the Voice Note (Ghostbusters)... etc.

There are a lot out there for sure. I’m going to take my time and decide which models I want to try next. I really like the look of the Sumo, but the case size and lug to lug sounds to big for my 6.5” wrist.FWIW, I started as a Seiko hater.
