Paid something like £120 so half that ono plus postage and I'd be happy.

If you're really interested I can dig out all the papers etc and take photos of it.

I've sent you an email on your profile Phil, can't seem to find a PM function.

Thanks

Here are mine... mostly divers...



I’ve had the 6309-7290 at the top for the longest, many many dives, beaches, snorkelling and travel around the world. I bought it as a backpacker in Hong Kong on the Richard Road in 1985. I wanted the quartz 7548-7000 version, but it was double the price of the auto... so I bough5 the auto 😂

The rest have accumulated over the years.

Cheers,
Effortless

Just found this is my cupboard, my first ever watch when I was a teenager, remember paying about £50 for it from Argos in the late 90's. It's not working but hopefully just a battery rather than mechanism issue. Found some pictures on Instagram with different straps, might get it up and running again. Model 7t32-7c60

Do you guys get your Seiko's serviced at all?

My Orange Monster (from around year 2000) is loosing time like its going out of fashion .... 20 mins a day!

It was serviced (i assume) about 6 years go when i actually managed to break the glass, and has kept great time ever since, until a few months ago ....

I should as mine loses a minute a day. But it cost me £120 and a service is £80 plus hassle so I offered it for sale here! No takers mind so maybe I will service it one day.

Posted this pic a couple of times today in other threads - apologies if its getting repetitive!

Just took delivery of this today - very happy with it. A bit of a change from my usual monochrome choices.

Just the two, old and new

A well used and abused snzh53 today.

Not a fan of the bracelet, as with a lot of cheaper seikos, very nice watch let down by a tinny bracelet.
Still like mine, wear it nearly every week.*

Agreed, it spends most of its life on a navy monkeyswag nato

[ZesPak]

Yeah, I've done that with the SKX. But that one just has a mm less clearance which makes it hard to fit thicker nato's.

Looks good Andy.

My first foray into mechanical watches - a 1972 6119-7183 for a big slice of '70s style. £103 from ebay and it's keeping quite good time (-1sec in 24 hours). It's got one small nick in the case but otherwise it's really nice - all sharp edges and lovely milling.

Seller's photos because he has a nice camera and I don't.

Very nice

Well, a service will cost me more than my watch is worth (will put that on ebay as spares or repairs).

So whst to buy next? I fancy a pepsi of some kind but are they too casual for formal wear? I need a good all rounder.

Picked up my first Seiko last week.

Looks lovely. Where could I get one from if I do decide to go for another diver (have seen a nice Solar with blue bezel and face too).
