Is Seiko Street Fighter collection worth collecting?

I think I prefer collecting the Alba Super Mario series..

 

[Renzokukenz]

this explains why seiko is so into white dials this year

your definitely more chio, I am very sensitive to shades of grey, the silvery grey bezel here is very subtle but unique and special

i finally found the right people and sources to get what I want with my specifications

gonna get my watch from skywatches then send to this chap on instagram with 9k followers who supply+do the modding for $90 (all in) and will perform 6bar water testing after modding

That's a question of personal preference? Personally the street fighter series is one of the ugliest series Seiko has ever come up with...

i won't be, but it really bothers me to the max if the watch lose one of its ability after modding

to me modding should improve its ability and specs + look better
nothing else should be taken from the watch

i am babying my SKX007, I wear it out at least once a week though

i knocked it into things thrice today =.=

anyhow I am buying the watch to record a point in time in my life
that's why my attitude is not to just get a new one when it dies

it's used to remind me of a crossroad in life
not just yet another toy

Special mention : this watch is better than all the overpriced underperforming watch for loud people sold by the sister company

Hi fellows, what's the recommended approach to clean and maintain leather straps for timepieces that are worn rarely (say once or twice per month then enter into storage)?

 

[hwaa]

 

[noobiee]

That is a sweet strap.. can SIC?

 

[Renzokukenz]

Sorry for talking about seiko all the time cause I no budget LOL.

ANYWAY..

I just spoke to the K2 uncle.
interesting to know that for ISO certified diver watches such as for the SKX007, you can actually upgrade the waterproof rating by upgrading the gasket.

he’s quite nice.
