congrats Kenny on your new acquisition .... it is a beautiful watch ...

the Uncle Seiko strap is a nice addition .... I love how they wear.

 

Just catching up today so congrats! That is a good looking watch. I used to have the SKZ323 white dial.

 

Well that is a beauty and love it on the Uncle Seiko band too

Kenny - I hope that watch continues to bring you excitement every time you wear it. It’s unique and special - like our friendship. Enjoy.

 

We are having quite the honeymoon T. I've gone through the portal and I don't want to come back. [emoji23]

One of my favourite Seiko watches. Sadly, I realize it is too large for my wrist

 

Congrats Kenny. I used to have the first generation black dial Stargate years ago and recently acquired a couple of second generation Stargates. A quite unique design and very appealing (to me). Enjoy.

 

Thanks Mario. They are so unlike anything else which is why they are so appealing to me.

Congrats on your new beauty! Spencer Klein dubbed it Seikos "greatest stealth reissue" in his authoritative review. There's an interesting encore addendum discovery at the end.

Seiko's greatest stealth reissue - SKZ327 - the Gen 1 Stargate - YouTube

I saw that and found it entertaining and educational.

Congratulations Kenny, that is the best one.

I have always liked the Stargate gen 1 and after the initial noise when it was released, which is better the Stargate or the Spork etc, it got less recognition than it deserves. I have had all the gen 1 Stargates and several of the gen 2's but since starting my collection rationalisation only have the black gen 1 like Kenny's, (which I put a 4R36 in) and consider the nicest with the white one a close second.

Spencer has covered most of my thoughts on it rather nicely including how Seiko seem to miss what makes their classic vintage watches great in the eyes of the Seiko collector and lost one of the elements that makes the Gen 1 so good......the dial.

That's a very good post Mike and I'm thrilled to be in company of a fellow gen oner! I'm blessed to have it.

Very nice Kenny , I regret not picking one up when they were cheap as chips.

 

Thanks Jimmy, one of them crystal balls would be nice to have!

That's a beaut, Kenny, congratulations! I raise an eyebrow at some of the nicknames given to dive watches, but as a long-time sci-fi nerd this one makes me smile.

 

Thanks Craig!

Thanks D! I'm proud of it's lineage. I'll let you know, but I have a good feeling this one's a keeper.
