Barking mad
··Prolific Speedmaster HoarderWhether you believe it or not every now in then the timing of an event can at least give you pause to ponder the concept.
Some weeks ago I posted this thread in the Seiko section with an update today.

And what has that to do with Karma or the concept? As stated in the thread I had been looking for a Dolphin Back Bell-Matic for quite some time, maybe two years.
We had an old mate staying with us for just over a month prior to me finding the watch. He had been staying with us because he had nowhere else to go and he is actually great company. His wife died of Covid at the beginning of the year and he was here because of her job and unfortunately when she died he basically became persona non grata as far as the system was concerned. After finally being able to get his wifes body back to Australia after a month of trying, he could not get back due to the Covid restrictions.
While he was living with us he took a shine to my alarm watches, so before he left I presented him with one of my Bell-Matics. It was truly worth it for the look on his face alone.
Fast forward to the Dolphin Back which I found within a week of him leaving and then very quickly found the correct Diashock dial which I thought would be nearly impossible.
Karma, don't know but I like to think so.
