Owner Review: Seiko SNK809 – The “Gateway” Automatic

Got this watch as a gift in 2014. 6 years later, I still find myself admiring this little Seiko SNK809 whenever I put it on the wrist! I did some minor modding throughout the years: – Domed sapphire crystal – Removed Seiko 5 shield. I’d been wearing the Seiko SNK809 for years before my watch
