The Bellmatics are on the rise, particularly in the funky colors. It’s a matter of time before these get up there
They really should be. Fantastic watch, with dial/bezel combinations that are very classy and usually a modern sizing in the 37/8 mm range as a bonus. I have several and have previously had up to a dozen, mostly in SS but I have had a couple in nice condition in Seiko GP. Terribly underrated
I agree. I think mechanical alarms are going to get harder to find soon. These SS Seikos are incredibly classy. Maybe I should have just snagged this one as a Christmas present for someone![]()
As Harry Callahan would say: "You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky? ' Well, do ya, punk?"
Up for sale on the 'Bay is a late-50s Tissot Seastar at a starting price of $64 - but no one has bid on it over the last three ten-day auction cycles. The reason? The listing pictures are terrible:

So take advantage of this seller's inability to focus and snap up a classic steel-cased, in-house caliber, manual-wind Tissot. Despite the murky pictures, the off-white dial looks original - and the crown may be original as well. By all means, ask the seller for better pictures and ask if the watch runs. You might get good answers for both and a great deal on a barn-find watch.
Mind the bent lug (as often seen on these).
First we have @Shabbaz wearing a submariner on the streets for all the world to see with open toed sandals (and apparently white socks) and now mm935 gambling on horrific pics- this group is throwing caution to the wind these days!
