    No idea on that watch, but there are seikos that retail at 10s of thousands ;)

    Ah the old 'just a Seiko' problem. I've spent a four figure sum on one, and about to do the same on another.

    It will be a very good quality watch, saphire crystal, and if you were looking for a low profile quartz chrono and not too worried about water resistance it definitely represents value.

    Cheers lads. to be honest, the Seiko comment was a bit flippant from me, I dont really know much about the brand of watches

    It seems to go for £150 so €130 seems pretty good. I've not spent 4 figures on a Seiko, but do have one that was just under €300 and it's been absolutely rock solid.

    RRP for that watch is £195 in the UK, so probably upwards of €250 here. €130 is a pretty good price I would say.

    As the owner of a number of automatic seikos, both new and vintage, I would rate them as one of the better brands on the market in terms of value for money and build quality.
    If it was me, I would probably prefer an automatic either new from abroad (better selection) or pre owned closer to home. For that money you'll pick up a nicer (IMO) watch and one that will hold it's value much better.
    I'll post some links later as I'm on the phone currently.

    The Grand Perhaps?

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    That's what its shaping up to be alright.

    Can't quite shake off the love for the Speedy moonwatch though.

    But I'm pretty set on a Grand Seiko SBGX063.

    My other pricey Seiko is a Marinemaster 300 SBDX001. That one I love. Put it side by side with any swiss dive watch and I mean any swiss dive watch and it will hold its own on some points, and win on the others.
