My friend Greg just sent me a wrist shot of his and hers glow face Mickey Mouse Seiko watches. Roger and Joe met him while they were in Dallas and he has quite a Seiko collection.  Here's a funny story about him and how his addiction started. It's freaking funny!  |

Always liked how they implemented the chrono registers on that one. I think his wife's though needs a visit to a watchmaker for a new crystal so she can see that lovely dial.
Beautiful watches, I am looking forward to seeing more of his collection!

That is a funny story. Has he joined the forum? I think he'd fit in nice here.

That's an awesome story and love that he still has the newspaper clipping of the story. We know where his WIS adventure started. Ask him if he know what brand the movement was from and if it was serviced or replaced!

I like the way it looks, especially in the dark.

I now wish I had held onto this one I purchased at Disneyland in 1988. I knew I had a problem back then. I bought the watch for $199, while I was backpacking around the world. At the time I only had what was in my backpack, $860 in cash and a plane ticket to London! I had the hardest time trying to sell it a few months back. Would have been nice to find folk that would have appreciated it. Nice Unisex example. Oh well....   |
