Bought a Seiko "Pink Panther" watch

[BobsArmory]

So I was cruising around the internet a couple weeks ago and saw that Seiko had just released a limited edition Pink Panther watch. Loved the cartoon when I was a kid. Called a few local stores to see if they had one in stock. Nope, they a went out the same day they came in. Searched Chrono24 and a few were there but nearly double the MSRP price. No thanks. On a Lark I called a Jewlery store that I had done business with in the past and they had one so I made a little road trip to Ann Arbor and picked it up.

Not a serious watch but it will work when I want to have a little fun. Seiko 5 SRPM07

Wow, they want a lot of loot for that Seiko 5. But I understand why.

I sold a rifle and a ton of ammo so I had cash on hand. I would never have bought it if it was above MSRP.

It certainly is a serious watch with a very good & reliable 4R36 automatic movement that hand winds & hacks. The dial color isn’t my particular taste but “ya gotta luv it”!

Good move & wear it often!

While the dial is indeed pink, I don't see a graphic representation of "The Pink Panther" on the watch itself.

I've no recollection of the Pink Panther's footprints being used. The footprints Seiko used aren't even 'animal cute' ones.
They look like "Chernobyl Mickey Mouse" trademarks.

Thanks for the SSS, ( stuck song syndrome). I used to play the sax.

Kind of cool and unique. The movement as @charbaby posted adds credibility and value.

Cool. Not my favorite but I am a fan of Automatic watches.

It's def not an everyday watch but it will go well with a few shirts and ties & certian occasions.
