actually I think for bros born in the 60s-80s era,its really easy to rekindle the seiko love..



Its just like a household brand for Japanese watch and it = quality. The advertisements in old newspapers,old shops and other corner around Singapore,its has been a part of us(literally)..



I dont think there is any swiss watch that can match iconic Seiko 6306/6309 capability/durability/VFM.
