A poor man’s watch collection - watch #5

This is my fifth in a series of posts on my humble watch collection.

This watch is my second eBay watch purchase. I had such a good transaction with the seller of my “big chunky watch” that I decided to get another one from him. This auction also had a “Best Offer” feature but my initial offer was rejected. The seller offered to accept my offer if I just increased it a bit.

This is a Seiko SKXA55K. All Seiko movements are made in Japan. The “K” in the model number denotes a watch finished outside Japan. It uses Seiko’s ubiquitous 7S26 movement.

This watch was a present from Claire. Every time we look at watches in a mall, Claire always says, “Daddy, I wanna get you an orange watch!” It took a while but I finally found an orange watch I liked. This watch is an attention-getter and is my daily “desk-diver” watch.
