Wristwatch collectors out there?

Picking up another Seiko this week. This will make my 4th. I love em. This time something I can wear at work all day everyday. My Titanium is getting abused.

Outside of the Timex/Casio class of watches that I keep when doing yard work or other work that would damage a nice watch, my daily wear watch is a Citizen Eco-Drive in stainless. I also have several Seiko automatics that I have bought over time and when my father died, I inherited a couple of Rolex Oyster watches and a gold Hamilton that was my grandfather's. Not really a collector but I got the Seikos really inexpensive from Overstock.com believe it or not and I have always preferred Citizen to Seiko and this current one was a Christmas gift from my wife to replace one that had been stolen during a house break. Not a fancy collection but good trust worthy watches.

It's combo of Panerai and Sinn styling that looks pretty nice! Looks quartz to me.

Do you know if they make it with a green band? A guy I work with had a Seiko that looked similar to that but he didn't tell me the model. It would make a nice watch to wear for work when I'm not in the brush.

I have no idea if they make one, but you can buy one for cheap enough. Plenty of strap choices in leather, rubber or canvas.

Says 1/20th sec stepping on dial, do you really think its Quartz?

I thought quartz based on the hands layout would be quite complicated or custom if automatic. Not that Seiko can't deliver such precision.

I just wanted to say that quartz with such precision is not a common thing, or rather, very rare. To me, it looked like a modified Orient mechanical movement...

I had a Seiko Chrono Quartz in late 80's that was quite precise. If you look at some of the Quartz Chrono's coming out, they are more apt to put mutliple timers on one pole than you'd expect at that price point.

any chance you would be willing to tell me the model number on this? I like Seikos and really like the look of this one especially if I can get it with an od green strap.

Its SNDA67.

Quartz movement, although this is the first one I have seen with such chrono precision.
