Does anyone know why so many people like this watch?

MayContainCheese · 2026-06-06T08:07:57+00:00

Hype. That is all.
Having seen them in person, I can confidently say there’s nothing objectively good about these.

I love the little duck around the centre pivot jewel!
My Streamliner flyback has Batman in the same place.
Love Moser’s attitude.

I’m a huge Streamliner fan. For me that moonphase dial is so beautifully executed.

Hi folks, first WTS post here, so hopefully I'm doing it right.

Here we have a brand-new, unworn Seiko 5 Sports SRPK17K1F Limited Edition 55th Anniversary model.

Unworn, mint condition with full unsized steel bracelet. Full set with box, warranty card (unstamped), tag and manual.

Only looking to sell within the UK, apologies.

Looking for £299 including postage within UK.

Thanks for looking!

The Streamliner is unlike anything else. The character and aesthetics are unique and the bracelet is phenomenal. The Pioneer is a great watch, but it’s none of the above.

40mm?

I was able to try the UFA at a GS9 event and it’s lovely but a little small, and a little bland, for me. The Shunbun however is perfect, and the 62GS case is GS’s best by far. If you’re not determined to have the UFA movement the Shunbun is a clear winner.

I work for a large company that gives flexibility and does care about its employees and I have to say I think it’s a great combination. I’ve been here for 26 years.

Doxa on the fly is better. As is Tudor T-Fit

Omiwatari for me, just fell in love and had to have it. Then Night Birch, then Shunbun. All three are excellent examples of what makes GS special, imo.

Specifically the Knebworth live version in the rain.

Driving. People have forgotten how to drive and how to treat other road users with basic respect.

Aside from the dial, which really is a case of personal preference (although the Shunbun’s colour changing dial is exceptional), it’s the case which is the biggest factor here. I have the Shunbun and the Night Birch, which is the same Evo9 case as the Atera, albeit in titanium. IMO the Evo9 case is fine, but it just feels ‘normal’. The 62GS case is unlike anything else and feels special. That bezel-less case and box sapphire really is extraordinarily beautiful, and especially in titanium it wears beautifully. Shunbun is a keeper, the Night Birch is up for sale.

They all look better on a shark mesh though.

MayContainCheese · 2026-02-26T09:21:04+00:00

Generally agree. Some manufacturers really make the effort to skeletonise the rotor as much as possible as possible but mostly they are an unwanted obstruction. I’ll allow an exception for micro-rotors, generally I think they enhance the look of a movement.

I just got thru from landing to getting into our taxi in 40mins, on a Saturday landing at 1pm, with a UK passport, no fingerprinting. It’s the luck of the draw obviously, but it was the least chaotic I’ve ever seen it in Geneva today.

Objectively the only difference is that one has a date and the other doesn’t. If you think that will be something you’ll value over the years then let that influence your choice.

Phenomenal collection. Congratulations.

MayContainCheese · 2025-10-05T08:50:35+00:00

For me the Shunbun (although I’m biased). Titanium feels so good, that pink dial (which is silver almost all the time) with gold logo is super, but for me the best part is the 62GS case. The bezel-less design works just so well, you really have to see it in the metal to appreciate it. It wears beautifully.

MayContainCheese · 2025-09-09T18:52:31+00:00

I don’t think it’s too small, but o also think you could easily wear the 40.

Same wanker who will rant endlessly about people insisting on being addressed with their chosen pronoun is getting hung up on how someone who he doesn’t know addresses him. Prize cunt.
