Very nice. Really like that yellow dial

 

Not seen that example before. Very attractive

 

They certainly made some interesting styles.

 

That dial is very nice indeed, but why is there a 4 at 12 o'clock?

 

I think it's a stylized "A" for Alpinist

My 6306 "Turtle"

 

Adding to the growing list: another 7016, this one known as the Tank or the Nautilus (although the first examples precede the Patek Philippe Nautilus by a few years, and the PP Nautilus chrono by a few decades). This is the 7016-5020, from October 1976.

 

Finally received my beloved 6309-7049 (on left) back from being regulated...so now I can display my recently purchased SRP777K1 (on right) alongside...29 years difference regarding purchasing both machines new and 30 years difference regarding manufacture...man, I really groove on this stuff!

 

As the "watch guy" among my friends all of a sudden I seem to be getting gifted old watches on a regular basis. Just got an email letting me know this is my latest watch to add to the collection, should take possession soon. Was a recently deceased friends father's watch and is apparently still in the envelope he received from the coroner when his father passed away some years ago.....I know very little about it as I have only seen this one photo thus far.

 

OK some of you might have seen it already, yet: I actually like it very much.
Arrived some days ago. SKX009k2

 

Enjoy it, they grow on you the more you wear it. You think you like it now, wait until you start looking for excuses to wear it! I wear my 009 more often then you would think. Just don't give in and get a 007! If he black starts singing to you, get the Turtle!

 

The Seiko PADI is finally available (from Malaysia anyway; search on watchrecon.com). PADI is Professional Association of Diving Instructors, where many (like me) got their SCUBA training. Beautiful watch, too.

 

Seiko 6139 silver Pogue ('71)

 

At the Apple Store, Mad Dog stated, "The watches that you have here are NOT like the Seiko 6309-7049 and SRP777K1 watches that are on my wrist!"

The Apple Store Associate stated, "Mr. Mad Dog, you are a master of the obvious!"

 

^^^ this guy always has me cracking up....

 

My father's Seiko 6106-8100 on Olongapo bracelet. This is what amounts to an heirloom, bought during my parent's honeymoon in HK. Found it in a drawer with the bezel nowhere to be found.

 

I've gots it's navigator timer brother same case with a 24 hour bezel and hand. Great watch case and great looking watches.
