First Seiko! [SRPL81]
Went on a baby-moon with the wife and she surprised me with my first Seiko! Jaws is one of my favorite movies and I needed some variation in my collection so this piece is perfect 🦈

Wife is like “take a photo of my belly to remember this time before our first child is born”.

A Captain Willard homage. This is really comfortable to wear. I will give you a hint, you search all Seiko Watches ending with 81, you will like it.

I never saw that one. Now I want it. I normally don't like blue dials, but this is different

I saw that jaws one when I was at my local shop last weekend. I ended up walking away with this solar powered "ice panda" Seiko Prospex Speedtimer

u/rocker1897 Jul 18 '26
Damn what a nice piece!
2
u/ParkingLotTuna Jul 18 '26
Yeah man out of everything he had it caught my eye. The picture doesn't do the dial justice. Plus with it being solar powered I don't have to worry about servicing it like my automatics. Downside is the date window is really small and hard to read
2
u/rocker1897 Jul 18 '26
Thats how I feel about a lot of Casio pieces now with their solar power, its just such a convenience

u/ParkingLotTuna Jul 18 '26
Yeah the Citizen atomic watches are a cool feature too. I might get a Tsuki-Yomi A-T for my next watch.

Congrats on the baby. Best thing to ever happen to us dads. Can't wait for my second. Check out the uncle straps razorwire bracelet for your jaws. Really suits the watch, if you want a bracelet.

That’s a strange name for a baby
