Best laid plans....

I was looking through my watch database (yes, I have one) and realised that one of my best laid plans seems to have gone awry. I started with off with 12 Seikos in the collection and managed to cull it down to 2. Then I added the 130th Anniversary diver. That made my collection go up to 3. I thought that was it.

Then this came along and I was bitten. I like the look and feel of the watch. The Seiko Stargate. 

That made 4. While I was there, my watch guy told me that the new Seiko Monsters will be coming in soon. Improved movement with hacking and hand wind able........

Sadly Taiwan will not be getting the Orange Monster. These 3 models will be incoming (with price).

I have always loved the Monsters. How can you not love the Monsters.....

But I always liked the older Monsters. If only I can find some of the older ones, like the Red Monster or the White or even Black. 

Fast forward a couple of days and I was walking around the market near my house when I came across a shop selling watches and mostly Seiko. I walked in and asked if they had any Seiko Monsters. Low and behold.....

I am now back up to 5 Seikos ....... I have to stop.
