A happy man tonight, no, i should say happy MEN

A happy man tonight, no, i should say happy MEN
so i popped over to k2 this evening to meetup with 2 bros here, johnwongtw & drew72. Had a good chat with them :D



before any of them arrived, I was loitering around the shop,looking around but nothing new hence I chat to Mr Goh, 30mins passed and there was a customer so mr goh went to serve the customer..so I just browsed thru the display..



EHHHHH!!!!!! one model particularly struck my attention! I opened the drawer & took out the watch to have a closer look



I was amazed & momentarily shocked by the watch.



It was love at first sight...usually I will not be swayed by current models so easily but this particular piece just blows me away.



It's a new model with a new movt. :twisted:

Is that the 4R37? Looks... interesting. Can't yet say if I like the small 24-hour hand yet, but it's certainly not something you would normally find... definitely not in Seiko's! ;)



Does remind me of the Seikosha pocketwatches & their small seconds tho.



Damage? :twisted:

haha....bro I burst out laughing at your pic... :lol:

Re: A happy man tonight, no, i should say happy MEN
yes Cooliend bro, you are spot on. It's the new Seiko Superior using the 4R37 movt. Hacking & handwind function :twisted: It's these functions that attracted me to buy this piece. It was really love at 1st sight man...







the watch measures 44mm w/o crown! Somehow, Seiko had broke away from the habit of reusing back the same case over & over again. The sliderule bezel turns smoothly, winding is just ok, of course not as smooth as a 6R but still bearable :)











switched the rubber strap(surprisingly the strap felt like a rubber silicon strap) to a tan leather strap :D





there are 3 pieces in his shop, from wat Goh told me.



Here's a review by Yeoman(now you know who bought the 1st piece) LOL

http://yeomanseiko.wordpress.com/2011/09/30/4r37-seiko-superior-ssa003k/" false;



I bought the 2nd piece on rubber..



one SC bro(not johnwongtw or drew72) hooted the last piece on bracelet when I left...hahha



tbh, this piece is a seriously nice piece, see to believe :twisted:

correct, wrong, correct :lol:



the skx171 is in fact, a 7002(notice Date window only) lol



i thought it was a 171 as well so I did not take a second look..when I was lazily looking down to the preowned section, suddenly I noticed the window then i realised 'Hey, it's not a 171!'



next moment, the Nets machine became my best buddy :(
Re: A happy man tonight, no, i should say happy MEN

ahhh yay, then I got budget! It is nice, but am I right to think that this is one of very few non-chrono watches to have slide rule?

IMO yes.and this is first time I knw a slide rule bezel on a normal watch with 24 hr subdial.... a breakthrough in Seiko design.. doesnt have the rather defined seiko design... wind+hack+huge+VFM

Re: A happy man tonight, no, i should say happy MEN
It was great meeting up again Lunarin bro, great to meet Andrew and Osim bro too.



Was planning to go K2 change batt for my 7A28,38,48, and just browsing, chatting. No intention to buy anything. But when I saw the 4R37 my resistance waivered. Then I had a peek into Mr Goh's treasure chest(his watchbox). That was when any resistance left crumbled. Surrendered. An orange dial Land Monster. Damn chio, sitting in the case smiling at me. The next thing i know i was in front of ATM. lol



Here are some pics of the hoot

yah bro,I was there with the CEO and John.. then talked abt this 4R37 piece (hmm..waiting for a internationally accepted nickname for this),its functions and lotsa questions I asked too....cos I never knew abt this movement and for a few seconds didnt knew it was a Seiko when CEO handed one to me.Thought it was some swiss watch(cos was at an angle/degree,didnt see seiko tags etc). The first look kinda 'wah...this is Seiko??'...really never expect new seiko design is like that de..



this is a huge watch to me...
