Back in 1968 my dad, an avid rugby player, set up a youth team in Yokohama, near Tokyo, a first for Japan at the time. This was his tournament winning 7’s team. When he passed he left me a Murrayfield debenture which I have used until recent events spoiled all of that.3yr ⋅ speedypete33 ⋅ r/rugbyunion

This was my home in Tokyo in the late 1960’s/1970’s. My dad’s company rented it from Mr Shoji Hattori, the then President of Seiko. It was in the district of Denenchofu, and I went to school at St Mary’s International in Setagaya district. We moved back to the UK after 7 years in Tokyo.4yr ⋅ speedypete33 ⋅ r/Seiko
This was the first Seiko I bought myself. I was working in the City as a clerk on the London Metal Exchange and in 1985 I received my first bonus, bigger than I was expecting, so went straight out and bought this.4yr ⋅ speedypete33 ⋅ r/Seiko
