Here's a bunch of Japanese watches that captivates me;
1) Orient Star WZ0131FD - I love the dial on this series. The Power Reserve indicator is an interesting feature since I have never owned one.
2) Seiko Spirit SCVS001 - 6R15 Cal. Looks like a Grand Seiko, wont break my bank account to own one.
3) Seiko SBQK079 - Perpetual Calendar High End Quartz with an affordable price tag. This one comes with the 8F32 high frequency Quartz movement and claims a +20s/year accuracy.
I know generally the market tends to go for larger watches but I like a variety in my collection. I love the higher end Citizen Chronomaster, Grand Seiko and Marinemaster but cant afford them at this stage.
Do you have a wishlist to share too? ;D ;D ;D

Gentlemen , In response to your comments on choice #3......
a)Is not a Spring Drive mov. but , runs on the fabled thermal power ...
b) Probably I could never afford this particular masterpiece either but, whiling to bet that if an opportunity comes along ...most likely, I will blow my entire 401K in a week at ST. Bart's ...with no regrets
c) True that high maintenance is a given knowing this exquisite piece inherited complications but, do we really care Sire? ;D
