One of a handful I own. Vintage Seiko 5

 

It's about 43mm. There were smaller orange dial quartz divers produced in the early '80's.. The mid size 6548. They don't turn up very often, but the demand isn't great, so when they do they are not generally too pricey

Not worn this in months but decided to put it on a bracelet yesterday evening, and think I will probably wear it a bit more now .

Red letter day

 

My wife says the goldtone was too much and i cant wear it in her presence.

So quickly changed to this.

 

Happy wife, happy life. And a great excuse for another watch...

 

Yes the importance of backups

 

I just sold my presage today. I loved that damn dial but it just took up too much wrist space and I thought it took away from the classiness of the watch and made it too flashy. It was a small time deal I picked it up for 190 sold for 260. I really want to pick up a vintage world timer. Found what I think is a decent one for 400 but having difficulty getting a very clear shot of the dial. I’ll dig up one of the blurry pics he did send but I know you gotta check these dials carefully.

It was a bit tough letting that presage go, perhaps if I hung on to it I would have become accustomed to the size. The guy was going crazy to get the watch, a local collector who has 300 watches. I’ll but the money to good use regardless. Building up for a more modern seamaster as well but something always comes along to change things

 

My manhattan cocktail (kinsman to your just sold piece) asks why?

 

Dude I loved the dial on the damn thing and it was so comfortable but it wore bigger than I liked. If it was 38mm I would have been happier with it but it’s all good I’m definitely using the cash to get something else. It was a hard decision to make, I put it off for two days and the buyer kept txt me. I just let it go what can I say. Actually it was the same one you have there and I got it for 190 I think after shipping and taxes it was 200 so it was definitely a good deal.

I need bright and shiny on this rather dreary Monday in Boston.

 

I have tried that line on my wife as to why I need more watches.

 

Do not hate the player, hate the game?
