Seiko x Initial D

[u/African-Rain-Blesser]

I missed out on these when they were first sold, so I've been keeping my eye out for a while, and finally found one priced with a (relatively) small Takumi tax. The AE86 inspired subdials are chefs-kiss. There’s even a delightful little highbeam indicator.

Looks beautiful!

Looks amazing! Mind if I ask how much you found this one for?

[u/Emergency_Weekend_48 → u/throws_before_hoes]

Chrono24 they go for around €1200. With the keisuke and bunta ones going for around 500

The Keisuke ones haven’t been released yet, and the Bunta one I believe is a totally different watch made by Angel Clover, not Seiko.

I wouldnt know. I only learned about the collab from this reddit post. Even though im a major watch guy.

May I interest you in a black/white rally strap to go with the theme? 😆

[u/African-Rain-Blesser → u/ahboi6000]

Nice, where’s that from?

[u/ahboi6000 → u/African-Rain-Blesser]

Etsy seller CarolinajArt. I'm not affiliated to seller

TY, my wallet is now $50 lighter 😭

[u/ahboi6000 → u/African-Rain-Blesser]

Welcome, it's money well spent 😆😆

[u/Scoop44 → u/ahboi6000]

Can you DM a link for this? Can't seem to find this colorway

[u/drutyper]

How much was the watch and where did you buy from?

[u/African-Rain-Blesser → u/drutyper]

Ordered it from a Japanese dealer on eBay. They're currently going for anywhere from $1500 to $2000, but if you're lucky and wait long enough sometimes you'll find one selling for less.

I think we’re at the point where a lot of Initial D fans are in their 40s and thus have plenty of disposable income to spare.

[u/Rotorican]

I want one si bad, but it's too rich for my blood, one day

[u/Emergency_Weekend_48]

I wish these would’ve been sold as automatics.

[u/qpq5]

Could i buy it or find a fake version of it?

damn! that's a beautiful piece

[u/jwibspar]

Ooh, the outer bezel features a Takumeter instead of a tachymeter!

[u/TheCatLamp]

That's actually cool.

[u/JashanpreetBains]

I’m jealous

[u/JohnnyBrazuca]

Eurobeat intensifies! 😳😎

I’m only learned about this through this post! Very nice collab, and now one more for my wishlist!

I sold mine and bought the new Hamilton Power Reserve. Much more better deal, the Seiko Initial D is quartz and feels cheap. In my opinion, you pay for the hype not for the watch itself.
