My humble seiko collection. Ignore the other brands haha. Some 44ks, 45ks, 61GS, and Sbgx093. Some bonus GS pens as well.

I’ve liquidated some, still missing them :(

I was recently invited to a 2026 new models preview event by my AD and had a wonderful experience looking at soon to be released Panerais!

I can’t really discuss specific models or share info on them since I signed a NDA before the event, yet I would like to say some of them are quite a beauty!

My AD noted me they will be released around august! So stay tuned my fellow paneristis!

Here is a photo of my pam682 I am wearing today

I made a keychain for my watch bag/ back pack with my leftover pam682 bezel. The story is quite wild. My pam682 originally went in for service for a damaged bezel (knocked it and lost it outdoors) , and had it replaced. Searching for weeks where I lost my original bezel, I was able to find it weeks later. I am happy to keep my watches heritage as a part of an everyday object, a keychain in my situation.

The keychain is made of faux alligator leather, hand stitched.

I’m in search for a good quality buckle for my aftermarket leather straps. Does anyone have some recommendations? Oem ones seem a little bit stiff on their pricing haha.

Below is my Pam682 I received today from servicing! Full service, bezel replaced, and freshly polished from the AD service center

I made this with a shitter dial laying around and some leather I had.

New custom made strap ( the buckle is unfortunately aftermarket)

I just got a new bracelet for my 42 submersible from the boutique. It wears kinds funky/ uncomfortable for me, it being my first butterfly clasp bracelet. I would love to hear any advice on how I can make it wear more comfortable. The boutique removed 1 links from each side (which is different from my other single folding clasp watches, where the 6 o clock side is significantly shorter). Should I readjust the length on each side so that one side is shorter? Any help would be appreciated!
