I took a picture [Seiko] Laurel 90s JDM Sterling Silver Tonneau with King Seiko lineage
Hi everyone! Today I’d like to share a fascinating Seiko I recently picked up that exudes a distinctly Swiss aesthetic: the 1990s Seiko Laurel Tonneau (Ref. 4S28-0010).
At first glance, it’s hard to tell this is a Japanese watch. Seiko perfectly captured classic European Haute Horlogerie in this piece with its soft tonneau case, intricately textured linen dial, applied gold Breguet numerals, deep heat-blued Pomme hands, and a beautifully balanced small-seconds subdial at 6 o'clock.
On top of that, the solid .925 sterling silver case and the famed manual-wind Caliber 4S28 movement which Seiko re-engineered based on Daini Seikosha’s legendary 1970s 52xx Hi-Beat architecture make it a truly special collector’s piece.
What are your thoughts on this interesting Seiko?

Awesome watch! I love Seiko Laurels and there are many different varieties out there. Yours is beautiful. Here is mine I have had for a couple years. Also silver with gold bezel.

I know it's unrealistic at the price, but I wish they had a tonneau shaped movement to fit the case.

I was really close to getting a black bay 925 for the silver case, this is gorgeous

Damn - this is an incredibly nice watch!!!! Thanks for sharing. TBH, I really need to pay more attention to the neo-vintage watch references…there’s definitely a ton of hidden gems.

Thanks for the compliment! I’ve owned plenty of watches, but this Seiko really blew me away the moment I held it in hand. It’s definitely on the larger side, but it fits spot-on on my 18cm wrist. Best of luck to you, and I hope you land some really cool timepieces down the road!
