My new watch, thanks to Boshly
Discussion
Last week on the Wrist Check thread Boshly very generously offered to give away his "surplus to requirements" Seiko 8M25.
So I claimed it and I collected it from the sorting office this morning.
First and foremost I'd like to give a massive thank you to Andy for a stunning watch.
I'm taking it to have a new battery and service on Monday and look forward to having it up and running very soon.
It really is a nice watch and in fantastic condition for something I'm guessing is pretty old. The face is virtually unmarked and it sits on a lovely brown leather strap.
I'll take some pics when I find a decent camera and I get my laptop working
There's a similar watch been posted on Wrist Check thread by OysterCatches though
So mostly, thanks again Andy and when it's working it will take pride of place in my growing collection.

My pleasure. Hope you enjoy it. Your enthusiasm is more than thanks enough.
Eta: I have just sat and tried to work out when I bought it and would say it must be about 25 years old.
All I would ask is when/if it becomes surplus to requirements you pass it on to someone else appreciative.
I am so pleased to pass it on to you.
