I love seikos.  Got my last one in Dec. 1979 as a gift from my parents.  It kept perfect time so I knew I had to have another one when it finally gave up the ghost 30 years later.  I would say that is a really good life for a watch that is worn everyday.  I am a nurse and wore it for work as well as personally.  I loved the color of the band so it would go with gold and silver both.
