Let's see your Seikos!

Gratuitous wrist picture.

Haven't taken it off since I got it other than for running

Still running about 20/30 seconds fast a day but not a massive issue for me, though would annoy some.

Still love looking at it and the size is still pretty much perfect.

SLA041J1 55th anniversary arrived today, it’s a hefty piece but excellent looking watch ????

Love that.

Did everyone see this earlier. Blue Willard SPB181 similar to 149 colours, and an SLA043 which is a blue SLA017 (not a hi beat like the 037)

I want one of these but it seems as though they are on back order. Looks like a fantastic every day wearer.

I fancied Tuna today

[ewand]

Arrived yesterday; the crystal was badly scratched but I had a spare in stock so thought I'd drop the movement give the case a clean and swap the crystal over.




It's a November 1969 "Bruce Lee"; very unusual since it has a brown dial. I think this was a special order by the Hong Kong distributor, and that presumably they didn't sell well enough so the order was not repeated. All the brown 6139-6010s have English/Chinese day wheel, and they all date from the last few months of 1969. All are WATER 70M PROOF marked.





It needs a service and I've got a NOS bracelet on the way too.

I had (still own) a nice black dialed August '69 proof/proof. I had it serviced then decided to change the crystal myself using my cheap ebay crystal press.....

Samurai today - just took it off the bracelet and put it on a new silicone job from watchgecko.

I can't see that this has been mentioned yet. On line sale by Bonhams, and bidding starts to end tomorrow:-

And if you are feeling flush, have a look at this one:-

74 Seikos all for sale so plenty of choice if you are thinking of Xmas.

Well, no one seems to have taken any interest in the sale - or so it seems from the lack of response, but there were some serious bargains in there if I am not mistaken. All BNIB it seems. A Spring Drive Marine Master for under £2,000 seemed pretty good value to me anyway. And loads unsold too. Might be worth an email.

[bazza.]

The last Spring Drive I had cost me £800 to have fixed when the auto winding packed up working just saying

[Mezzanine]

Think there was a lot of questions over the legitimacy of that sale which might explain the lack of excitement.

[lowdrag]

Really? I must have missed that. Can you point me in the right direction so I can read it please?

ETA:- Following your comment I was able to make a more detailed search and came across this. Thank you for your input.:-

On another tack, it isn't only watches that are questionable it seems, as far as Bonhams are concerned. This car has registration problems for example, and is a damned sight dearer than a Seiko!
