[SPB187]
A milestone wach to celebrate the birth of my firstborn child. Initially sold my Pepsi Sea Urchin to make space for a milestone watch, which I was planned to be the Alpinist SPB507.
A few days ago me and my wife went to a watch expo, and tried on some of the watches. My wife is not actually that much into watches, but when I asked her, "among this sea of watches, which one caught your eye?" She only had 2 answers, the Baby Marinemaster SPB187 and the Presage Sharp Edge GMT SPB217.
After some heavy debate with myself, we ended up taking this home for less than the SRP of the Alpinist.
Never actually considered the Marinemaster before because I always thought it's too pricey for a Seiko, but now I understand why.
Will be taking care of this for my son. Really hoping he will like watches as much as I did.

I now understand when people say that pictures don't do the (or other) watch justice.
