This seiko 5 belongs to the grandfather of one of the forumers here... Much stories behind it. the stretches and marks all over the watch says a million words.
So i won't say its "little" among the RM, ALS, Omegas and Rolexes...in fact, its value is immeasurable to the forumer who owns it.
a few of us actually mentioned that this watch meet was able to see how watches have evolved through the ages. 38mm was considered "big" in the 60s and 70s.
then came the 40mm in the 80s. then 42mm in the 90s. and now PAM & YM.
at the next watch meet, I hope to see VW's duomatic, Ariszelc's Pagol and other vintage watches upclose and personal.
regarding the responses... well its normal tbh as not many of us has the chance to come upclose and personal with expensive watches like RM, ALS and Urwerk, even less to touch, feel, morest and wear them. A big, big thank you to iceflight dai dao kor for his generosity.
then again... as the watch meet went on, the attention was shifted to other watches and stuffs. in fact, i felt in the later part of the meet, the watches become secondary as everyone started to talk about personal stuffs and got to know each other better.
honestly, you have to attend one of our watch meet to experience how it is like =) you can't judge the responses from this forum.
At this watch meet, everyone went there with an open mind to know more about watches, different kind of watches, the story behind each watch etc.
