Hey everyone, Pip here from Berkshire in the UK. I'm a recent convert to all things Seiko having stumbled across some vintage Seiko's while researching a different purchase and basically fallen in love! I've since discovered that there is so much more to watches than I had ever thought. Seiko 5's, 6139/6138 calibres and all their variations, the SARB models, King Seiko, Grand Seiko... the list just goes on and on. And worst of all? I've so far found about six watches that I MUST have, some quite cheap and lowly and some a bit more expensive. Having seen a couple of the collections on here though, I suspect I am tip-toeing onto a very slippery slope! (And it seems some of you have apparently bottomless pits full of money as budgets!).
I've been on a few forums (fora? forii?) but when I found WS it grabbed me by the... bullheads!
Looking forward to watching, reading, learning, contributing (and no doubt buying) from here.
Pip

Welcome Pip. You'll find a lot of good people here and plenty of enablers too.
Before you make any big purchases don't hesitate to ask us what we think about condition and originality (but don't forget that you shouldn't link to live auctions, just post a picture stolen from the auction if you need to).
Cheers,
Tristan

From down the road (well, a bit up and slightly to the right) in Essex. Prepare to increase your number of watches and decrease your bank balance.
