Lovely pieces reflecting the Seiko range, capabilities, design, and technologies; high end to rugged tool. Nice choices so far.

Of course there's the 6138's too. Seikoshepard here has some of the finest examples I've seen. Definitely worth researching. Plenty of literature and articles. |

Check out the 7018s and especially the 7016s. IMO, they are much above the 613xs. |

Despite the absence of subdials, I like the styling very much. Some of the 6138 models (panda, Kakume) are also appealing to me, but partly just because I would like to add an up-down chronograph to my collection, which is probably not the best reason. |

I was just researching these, and the double-duty sub-dial that accumulates minutes and hours simultaneously is incredibly unique and cool. I REALLY like that feature, and the fact that it's a flyback is also interesting. The overall aesthetics of the round-cased references isn't blowing me away at first glance, but maybe I will come to appreciate it with time. |

At the risk of hijacking an awesome thread, does anyone know the p/n for a crown/stem for the 46999? I am luck enough to own one of these, but it has a crown/stem assembly that is wrong (and pops out).
