Quite a few of you will know me from another Seiko forum where I posted quite frequently. I am feeling that that forum has become more about politics and squabbling than actual love for japanese watches, and a particularly nasty exchange this week (which I wasn't involved in) was the final straw in convincing me I shouldn't be posting there. I can't really live without somewhere to discuss my Seiko/Citizen addiction and have moved myself to this forum which, I hope, will be more about the watches! I'm already seeing quite a few familiar names, so I guess I will feel comfortable in no time.

About myself .. i'm a guy from Malta, if I was a 6139 i'd have a serial number starting with 42. I love Seikos, especially the Sports 70m divers from the late 60s and the automatic chronographs, not forgetting the KS and GS lines of which I have a couple

I'm more into funky 70s styles than anything else, so, for example, I prefer a KS Vanac to a regular KS.

I have quite a few Citizen watches too, I'm a great fan of the 8110 movement which is superbly complicated and a worthy contender to Seiko's 6138.

The other brand I collect obsessively is Rado, for many of the same reasons I love Seiko .. Rado were innovators in the 60s and 70s, not with movements (they normally have ETA or AS movements inside) but with design and materials.

For those who don't know me yet, my name is Dave by the way.

cheers!
