They are great value for money and a proper aviation watch company with a history rather than some of the wannabee's around.
My main problem seems to be that my wrists are relatively small (42mm is really pushing it) and I also seem to have expensive taste---every time I see "the one" its guaranteed to cost £4k :-D
These are as close as I get to Aviations, a Pulsar quartz (shock, horror) and an old Ollech & Wajs hand winding Selectron (although not marked as such).
That O& W is nice.
I'm more of a dive and chronograph collector too.
A made a crappy site a while back about my Omega Speedmaster collection...

Do you by any chance have any association with Chronomaster Watches??
The normal accepted maximum variation is +/- 30 seconds per day.
Are Seiko using the 6R15 in their 007's nowadays?
It wasn't possible to get an exact time synch as it's not hackable as you know, but I noted it was +20 seconds ahead of real time (computer).
6 days later, it is within 5 seconds ± 2, so has lost 15 seconds or so in that period.
It used to be much more accurate until I dropped it about 6 months ago, now it runs slightly slow & it has never been serviced, only worn.
It appears that Seiko were typically modest about the performance of the movement
One 7s26 of mine I've has a while gains a minute or two over a week.
It's due a service and I enquired with a very good chap I know. Unfortunately the cost is almost that of a new watch so I'd rather buy a new one..
Whereas you think nothing of spending £150 servicing an old Omega it's a different value proposition on a cheaper Seiko.
With this modified Sea Urchin being the latest addition:
