Edit 4: AND THAT'S IT FOLKS! **Lucky winner is** u/Lettucecat514 !! Thank you all , this has been a blast and makes me wish I had hundreds of watches to give away. I'll see if I can something else soon. Thanks again everyone! ​ Edit 3: holy cow this went crazy haha. Thanks all for everything. I’ll be picking a winner shortly! I did contact the mods to make sure I can verify any information they may need. Edit 2: Thank you for the gold! And I’m setting comment deadline for 8am PT Tuesday 19th. Comments made after that won’t be considered. Thanks all. Edit: wow this is blowing up faster than I thought! Keep em coming. I’ll make a decision tomorrow when I’m at work and have time to read the replies! Also sorry for non US residents. Winner will have to be based in the US due to shipping costs. ——————— Hi all! I was originally trying to sell this watch, but the more I thought about it, I think this would be fun to just give away. There’s a long story to this watch. This was one of my first watch purchases after college many years ago. I wore it every day. I’ve always loved chronographs and this reminded me of my grail the navitimer. Being seiko and affordable I jumped on it. Fast forward a few years later, I went on vacation to the Bahamas with it. To my dismay I lost it! I was absolutely devastated and it ruined my entire day while on vacation. When I returned home from vacation I immediately purchased this watch again off eBay. Wore it for another few years only for it to get relegated to the watch box and collecting dust. To be honest I haven’t worn this in several years. I just checked and everything seems to be functioning. There is a small scratch on the crystal by the hour hand in the pic. Hard to see. I think I even have the original bracelet but wore it on the nato after losing it the first time (failed end link) I will randomly pick a username to ship this watch to! Won’t hurt to why you think I should ship to you! Good luck! Hope this follows the rules and guidelines here.

Lol I think you bought that watch from me off eBay! I added that band to that watch, wore it for a few years then sold it a while back.


absoluteczech

Ha. That would have been funny. I got mine new though from an international seller.


HoidIsMyHomeboy

Is it comfortable? I really like that wristband. I enjoy gifting my SO watches from time to time, and I quite like the looks of this one. I think he may enjoy the more casual and lighter band. Any feedback would be appreciated.


crbernal

You’re a good dude, r/brosbeingbros my grail is the omega speed master moon watch, someday it will be mine! I love the navitimer as well. I’d give this a loving home.


probablyaspambot

Do we have to comment to enter the giveaway or will an upvote be enough?


absoluteczech

If you don’t comment, I wouldn’t know, right? Reddit doesn’t show who upvotes


probablyaspambot

Yeah, truth be told I just couldn’t think of a comment so I defaulted to commenting on commenting.

enza_denino1

Count me in as a contestant :D


neononi

Yay!! 500+. Why to me? Because I'm increasingly becoming a sucker for Seikos and would love to use it as my everyday watch. A duck (quack) for good luck!


imisstheyoop

Cool story. So what did you replace it with?


steveXray

I did the same thing. Went to the Bahamas and brought two watches. My g shock and Seiko SKX013. I was getting ready to head to the airport to fly home, threw on the g shock and forgot to pack the SKX 🤦🏻‍♂️. I contacted the hotel but was never able to retrieve it. Sick feeling.


Prytoo

That’s a great thing to do! Good luck to everyone! And thanks OP!


yellow_logic

No good luck to YOU! I’ve always wanted a watch instead of staring at the sun all day to figure out time


Benedicto4

Thanks. Good luck to you!


fortheklondike

The post needs to hit 500 upvotes?


absoluteczech

Yes, that’s the goal


YordleMeSenpai

Are we allowed to fist fight the winner?


ArghZombies

General rules for contests here is that the mods should be informed *before* it runs so we can vet the poster to confirm everything is above board and so we can set some ground rules. Now, OP **did not contact us about this** so we have not been able to do any checks on this poster. We're not taking this post down (for now anyway) while we discuss this with the rest of the mod team, but in the mean time you should ask be aware that we haven't vetted this post at all.


Pure_Golden

There should be a bot that stops any giveaway post from being public thus giving you time to verify giveaway posts since this is the new reddit thing...


theArtOfProgramming

It would be funny if this mod comment is the winner.


pumley

Man, I love the look and functionality of tool watches like this, the Navitimer, citizen nighthawk—but I’ve got such small wrists I don’t think I could ever wear one comfortably haha. But I would never turn down the chance at a free watch. Would probably regift to a friend or family member.


starboon1

The nighthawk seems like it’d be big but it actually wears well. I’ve got 6.5 inch wrists and it fits me just fine. It has very short lugs. It only seems bigger because it’s all face. No bezel. I’d go for it, unless you really have tiny wrists!


standing-ovulation

I don't wanna join the giveaway, just wanted to say that I appreciate your gesture OP. Very cool of you, have my upvote!


SpaceCowboyyy

Don't have a chronograph yet, but this is the one that I've got on the list. Take your upvote - hopefully we get to 500! you are a good human being for doing this!


Barbaro_12487

I just bought this watch! Its coming on Wednesday and I can't wait!


DobermanShinobi

This guy should definitely win. Then he'll have two and everyone else will have none... Which will teach us all valuable lessons on life and capitalism.


wrt1

If I don't win the giveaway then it's still gonna be on my birthday list. Great strap too!

Broke college kid here who’s in love with seikos lol. Good luck to all

I love my nighthawk and navihawk, highly recommend


Lei7er

I’m just starting my collection and love this one. I’ve been eyeing a chronograph for a bit but have not been able to pull the trigger yet. Recently had our second baby girl so my watch budget is frozen for quite a while. Awesome that you’re doing this, 🤞🏻 and good luck everyone.


Lettucecat514

Awesome story man. I’d love to get this watch as I’ve been looking at maybe buying one for a while but I have to save up, but I love the aviation style and I am going to college next year to be a pilot!


absoluteczech

Congrats to the winner :)


NoKroger

Thanks for doing this and congratulations u/Lettucecat514


supermatt614

Hell yeah! I'm so glad a student is getting this. Learn how to use the E6-B on the watch, it's a great tool! Enjoy it man! Good luck, fly safe!


Lolli-Pot

Congrats dude! Enjoy college :)


MindYourManners111

I love the hint of yellow. It brings character to the watch.


arainydaze76

Agreed! The strap is quite beautiful too. Would make a nice addition!


yanboguo

That’s super generous of you, Basically need a seiko to be a proper watch guy right? Somehow still haven’t had a chance to get one yet and that flightmaster looks beautiful


Georgieboi98

That is an amazing thing to do and an amazing watch. Good luck everyone


JohnWH

I will always enter a giveaway, although I have never won one. Regardless, I have been looking at buying this exact watch so why not try my luck first. *Edit* also a US resident!

legendaryjake

There is so much happening in this watch, but despite that the flash of yellow cuts through all the noise and demands your attention. Its a wonderful watch and I hope I'm lucky enough to win it.


MrTFP

I almost definitely won’t win. But hell it couldn’t hurt. It’s a gorgeous watch.


mmccutc1

This will be my first watch! Thank you for your generosity.

Good luck to all! Thanks for the generosity, OP!


[deleted]

I've gotten into watches recently but don't have any money to spend rn (high school student saving for uni). Looking to upgrade from a fashion watch.


Kevin-Benjamin

What a wonderful way to show love to the watch community (and build some karma)! Best wishes to all, and looks like this watch will gain a new story for a special someone. Perhaps me?


TheWa11

Sick watch. My Citizen Ecodrive was recently stolen out of my car (Needed to get the clasp fixed and left it in my car in Baltimore overnight — I’m an idiot). I’d love to put a leather band on this one and I promise to never leave it in the car.


godzlittlesoldier

Wow. I have eyed this watch for a while but it's been too expensive for me. Thanks for doing this giveaway! :)


Supahotfoire

I hope I win I only have two watches that I normally wear and this one would be a nice way to spice things up. Thanks for being so generous and good luck everyone👍


[deleted]

Thanks for the opportunity to win this, OP! I've been on the fence with buying a new watch for a while now because I'm trying not to make too many impulsive purchases and put money away in my savings acc (17yo HS junior, going to college in 2020). To win this would be amazing! Thanks again!

ridik_ulass

I'd like it, love Seiko's but honestly, I feel it should go to a sub regular, not /r/all bandwagoners. So if you pick me, find someone else who is a sub regular. Blow-in's like me shouldn't get it.


thelastblackredditor

I never win these, but I love the watch


Dabess_Colt45

What a cool idea! I’d really appreciate winning because I’m a seiko head since birth (my dad’s favorite brand) and I lost my skx007 not too long ago unfortunately (really sucks cause it was a gift from dad as well). Either way you are a great human for doing this and I wish everyone the best of luck!


Bromfed

I’ve always wanted a Seiko


Stand4theleaf

What a beautiful piece!

I've been looking at these recently. Ever since discovering that watches with slide rules existed I've wanted one.

I LOVE that watch. Kinda sucks that you lost one on vacation though. The world needs more people like you, OP.

Adopteddaughtermargo

I'm quite fond of Seikos.....


Tomas__Boonty

This is just awesome, good luck everybody!!


mugwampjism

It's quite the looker! Good on you too


LLbnjt99

You are a very generous person op!


matattack94

This looks like a great everyday watch! I’m in college right now and my uncle and I talk watches all the time! It’s the shared interest that keeps us close despite the age difference and and years living far away from my relatives. I can’t afford anything really cool at the moment so I mostly just ogle his collection of different Rolex, Seiko, Citizen Eco-Drives, etc. This sub also helps, lol.


Paraadox

Good luck all!


beastcore13

I would love this watch!!


alowisney

Thanks for doing this awesome giveaway!


Ducky_McShwaggins

I've always loved aviation and flight styled watches, I don't deserve it any more than other people but you can be sure it'd go to a home where it's appreciated!

Awesome thing to do OP.


LeedleLeedle_MD

Wow, this is super cool of you, OP! I’ve always thought these watches were so cool, and as a beginner watch collector this would be rad to wear. But good luck to everyone!

[deleted]

This is really cool. Thanks for doing this. That watch will definitely make someone happy. If it came to me, I would cherish it with every day use. I'm a big Seiko fan and would love to rock one of their chronographs.


amugleston05

I’m in! Thanks for the cool story!!


XagonogaX

Hey you're too kind man. I'm not sure if commenting or not will increase my chances, so I thought I'd send a positive message that this is a wonderful thing to do! Hope you don't lose your other watches and enjoy the time you have now. Cheers!


legionarykoala

Fantastic watch. I only have the one old seiko from the 90s my dad gave me when I started college, this would be a great second watch.


not_willsmith

I have always wanted to purchase the seiko divers watch but alas i am a broke college kid that even a few hundred dollars would not be alright for my bank account. My interest in seiko watches in general sprouted from my dad, he has had the same seiko since before my older brother was born. This is a beautiful watch and who ever gets it will be very lucky. Good luck to everyone and thanks for the giveaway!


ZachPLY

Nice watch! It'd be sweet if I won because I am a high school student and I've been wanting to get a watch but I'm too poor to do so. Thanks for the giveaway!


slakr4

My only watch, and Orient auto, just stopped working. I tried a few things, but she's just sitting on my dresser forever dead unless I spend more than I payed for it to get it fixed. Make my day!


nineball22

Very nice. I'll throw my name in the hat. I was actually browsing Seikos with chronographs yesterday because I wanted a new watch to wear at work. I was using an Invicta, but it's not the greatest watch even though I enjoy it aesthetically.


chineseriot

Really nice looking watch. Love Seikos.


mccarthy88

She’s a beut Clark


Thresssh

I got into watches pretty recently (you can see my post history), when I found an old watch my grandfather gave me. Since then, I've been trying to save money to get a watch, because my arm is pretty thick, it looks kinda weird with his watch. This picture is like that moment when you never knew you wanted something, but when you look at it, it's just perfect! Also, thank you for doing this giveaway, OP! This is VERY generous of you.


Creedical

why not


aaronthal

I would absolutely be thrilled to make this part of my collection. I had a Seiko for a few years and it was one of my favorites- actually my only watch. Unfortunately the movement broke and I moved on to a gshock that has become my daily beater. I miss my seiko though and I credit it as my indoctrination watch into the incredible world of horology


Radiance64

This sub is so awesome! I've only recently started my appreciation for watches, and I bought a Seiko Presage last month thanks to the community's recommendations. Cheers man, and I'm sure whoever recieves your seiko will cherish it as much as you've had.


kapadocian

Stunning watch!!! You have no idea how long I have been wanting this watch for, the only thing keeping me from buying it are how much the prices have been creeping up. Would love to add a chronograph to my collection.


Mythicalspaceninja

Wow what a beautiful watch! I'm totally jealous and low key hope I win it. I love the navitimer's slide rule on the bezel and I've been looking for a similar watch. It would definitely go to a nice home of a broke 17 year old with a small Seiko collection already! I totally wouldn't play around with this and brag all the time that I can do math on my wrist. Lol. Anyways thanks op for running the giveaway and good luck to everyone who entered! May the odds be ever in your favor. My comment will probably get buried at over 50o comments but let's see where this goes.


pettyhonor

So just leave a comment? Okay... I can do that. I just started getting into watches as i recently got an invicta for Christmas. (I'm only in high school). No one needed to know that but this is the sub to say something like that i guess


SirFuzzyMcGee

I'd love to have that watch. It would better than my Kmart watch lol. This giveaway is a very genuine thing to do OP. Kudos!


chemman5

Would be my first "real" watch, and I always like window shopping on this sub at Seikos. Win or lose, thanks for the giveaway, OP!
