Nice, Hep. The rill dill. As Alan Sugar would say.

Got a thing for the titanium Samurai. Love the sharp edges.

^Flawless! Seiko just nail it, they know exactly what they are doing. That clean face with perfect proportions.

Even the Astron range, when you see them up close the build quality is superb and well worth the money. Not to my taste, but I can see why people like them. And there's a loyalty there, I see lots of the Astron watches in airports. People update them every 18-24 months or so. Much more expensive than the Rolex route.

We accuse Seiko of being the watch world equivalent of Toyota like it is a bad thing. Well, as a student of the Toyota Way, it is a mark of excellence!

A great collection Raul (I particularly like the Hamilton's).

Beautiful watches, Raul. They are all great. The Kontiki is floating my boat the most 😝. Just that little bit bit more unusual/rare.

You have great taste and it looks like you bought top condition vintage examples. The Longines is stunning too. Well done! How long have you been building your collection?

Re: Ivy League watch for today...?

Apologies, for not responding sooner. Great watch collection of Raul's, the Kontiki's are excellent, real peak of mid-century watch design. The re-editions are superb too, very close to the originals, although less radioactive. Tritium was out in '53 I think, many watches from then on are pretty safe, although it wasn't it wide use to the last 50s. I've done some checks with a Geiger counter on some trench watches which are meant to be highly radioactive and shouldn't really be worn and there was no radioactivity measuring and were safe. But you never know.

The Omega 300, well these are going for serious money now, as are the pre-moon Speedmasters. Not so many Omega 300's out there. You need to keep hold of these, because they're going one way and that is into serious vintage Rolex prices.
