Hello folks, Check out this cute Seiko SKK301 quartz "Space Age" watch I stumbled across. Research indicates it is from 1992... Hmm, not really my style... Quartz... But it's the first watch I've ever seen with a "p" crown!!! Maybe I'll throw in a bid!!! Woohoo! - Thomas .

Hmm...that is sort of an interesting watch! This is why I love Seiko. After 17 years collecting them I still see models I haven't seen before.

I don't get it What's a "P" crown? Is there a P engraved on the crown? I don't see a picture head-on, so...

I don't get it What's a "P" crown? Don't worry, the problem may be that you are not perverted. But if you use you imagination, and have a dirty mind, you may see the crown in a position, centered and well below the face, oriented in such a way to be nicknamed a "P-crown". - Thomas .

In the right circles, a gentleman need only pop out that crown, and she knows exactly what he means!

So in real life, are you referring to your "six o'clock" crown (jewels) often?

Darn it! I was bid up to about $US110, then got busy for 5 minutes at work and lost the auction! Oh well, perhaps I popularized the watch too much. Aannh, If I really want one, I'm sure another one will show up someday... - Thomas .

I know the answer! At least I think I do. I learned this from my least favorite Sesame Street episode.
"P" stands for "Penis"!
Right? Did I get it right?

I just got one off of there, but only searched there because someone posted one on Instagram (I was unaware of them before). Looked funky, I figured I'd take a flyer and try it out. Still don't know what a p-crown is though.

Hi "Maz"
Oops, sorry to push your price! It is an unusual design, but with some classic elements as well. Like a Mondrian watch!
So, glad it went to "one of us", let us see pictures from time to time please!

Darn! Now I want to see this design updated! Maybe in a Recraft issue? Woohoo! Of course I'd want an automatic... - Thomas ,

Nature of the hobby! I'll definitely post when it arrives. I'm curious to see the size, given I've never seen one in the flesh.
