Luthier 1 Posted January 18, 2013 The reason is very simple - it's japanese brand, not swiss, and you'll never impress anyone with Seiko. Sad, but a fact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fellowsis 1 Posted January 18, 2013 This was mine, I did like it. Bought it for its resemblance to the hublot case shape. Then I discovered this forum haha! I ended up sellinh it and made a loss of only a tenner, so not much in depreciation... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

guami007 0 Posted January 18, 2013 A lot of Seiko haters in this place so not going to try and sell anyone on the brand but a lot of Seiko divers do not depreciate. The two that Mazz flashed a few posts back will probably not depreciate. The 6217 MAS, 6105's, and early 6309's in good condition have certainly not depreciated. In fact, some of the prices have gone through the roof on them (upwards of 2k for NOS 6105). The Samurai (now discontinued) is highly collectible and has virtually doubled in price if you can find it. The Sumo has easily increased by 25% since it came out and will only continue to go up if it is discontinued. If you have one modded by a reputable modder (Jack at IWW, or Dr. Seiko - Randall Benson if you can deal with his temperament), they certainly do not depreciate and in fact command very lofty prices. Check out the www.thewatchsite.com if you really want to learn about Seiko's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luthier 1 Posted January 18, 2013 I don't think anyone here hate Seiko, I, personally, will buy a few with time. Just, again - it's not the top brand in people's mind. It's a Toyota, not a Mercedes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edwinowl 180 Posted January 18, 2013 My Titanium Scuba bought around 10 yrs ago, think its actually gone up in value this one! Love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wat44 0 Posted January 18, 2013 Luth is correct. The brand is not luxurious. This is why I think they are INSANE to market their truly luxurious grand seiko watches under the same brand. They bring out a $200,000 watch and put seiko on the dial. It's a blunder they still don't get. Until they understand how the big brand guys operate, the demand from the secondary market will be low. ok, there will be a few esoteric examples where prices will hold, but not for 99% of cases Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mnml 0 Posted January 18, 2013 If only I would find them appealing... At least the diver ones. From the ones posted, I only like that white stargate and titanium scuba, and even those two I would need to see in person. I do like the brand though, from what I understand Seiko is price/perfomance so to speak, at least in affordable price range. I guess reps spoiled me, however I am planning to buy gen diver watch, the more affordable, the better, because it will be used for any sports near or in water Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Credor was created just for that as a Toyota is to a Lexus, a Nissan to an Infiniti and a Honda to an Acura Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
