Lex sits down with Tony Porty to explore a side of collecting that gets overlooked once the conversation turns to Rolex, AP, or price. Tony’s Seiko collection is built on memory, family, design, and the thrill of the hunt, with each piece carrying a story that matters more than resale or recognition. From early Seiko 5s to rail-inspired references, quartz oddities, and bracelet-heavy vintage gems, the collection makes the case that great taste does not require a five-figure entry point.
What makes the conversation land is the emotional value behind the watches. Some pieces came through family, others through obsessive searching, and each one reflects the kind of collecting that rewards patience and instinct rather than hype. Together, Lex and Tony show how Seiko became a gateway not just into affordable watchmaking, but into a deeper understanding of design, history, and the personal reasons certain watches stay with us for life.
