It has an orange face, which I quite like but only after it as a second watch maybe throw it on a Nato strap?

Sorry mate but the picture doesnt work

[ChrisDT]

Just deleted it, basically it's got an orange face...

[ChrisDT]

Thinking about it I am pretty close to hitting bug it now. Hmmm

[gog440]

I like it, In fact I am almost tempted to buy it myself

Robust movement basically the forerunner of the 7s26 hence easy to service if needed or simply fit a replacement 7009 movement, lots of Seiko 7009 movements are sold on fleabay worldwide.

I currently have amongst others a rather battered Sieko 5 with a NATO strap and the 21 jewel glass back. Would it be worth transferring the movement into this if I bought it?

I do have my eye on another one that I like in replacement too...

Erm 90% sure the 7s26 and 7009 datewheels aren't compatible well the alignment will be out, you would have to swap the datewheels.

It was sold - Taken a break from looking and just going to try and get a new cyrstal placed on the Seiko I think.

(May also get an EcoDrive/Edifice after christmas)
