Sooner rather than later as the prices for excellent condition vintage Seiko are creeping up.
@leggy_blonde Agree, the whole sharp edges style was so different from anything coming from the Swiss at that time, I love it. I don’t expect everyone to lust after the faceted glass and textured dials too but there’s some cool shit if you dig deep enough.

The 6186-8000 with the tall indices is pretty unique and IMHO the pinnacle of the ‘Grammer of Design’ Seiko ethos of the era.
