Wristwatch collectors out there?

Another new watch for me. I have a couple of pricey watches that I'm almost always afraid to wear. I hate desk dings. Anyway, I picked this Seiko up for 90.00 with the intention of it being my knock around watch. Turns out, it's nicer than that and I wear it all the time. Seiko makes nice watches for not a lot of money.

Hey Larry, I really like that watch. Do you happen to know what model it is?

Thanx

This looks good! Can you recall the model? I want to buy one for my husband too.

Yes. It's the Seiko SNQ097.

I forgot this one. I wear this one only when I'm not drinking beer and smoking cigars. Certainly not for everybody, but the workmanship is superb, especially the leather strap. My only complaint is the writing on the 8 and 4. Down the right side of the 4 looks like it's missing paint. Actually, the word automatic is written top to bottom in such small letters I need a loupe to read it.
