Got a call from the spa today that my Seiko 7006 was ready. Couldn't get there fast enough. It's been almost a month.
Purchased this as a non-runner, missing the case back. When it arrived not only was the case back missing, so were the movement ring and gasket. Both parts needed to secure the movement in place. I sourced a donor watch for the case ring and case back. Same reference number and the date code is from the same era.


Here as it arrived from the seller:

An here are my twin 7006-800X's re-united:

 

Thanks! Got it from a collector in the Philippines

 

Many thanks! Will have a better look this evening/weekend...

 

Looneytoons,

I put an offer for a Seikomatic 8305-9010. Do you have someone can recommend for servicing? I’d like to eventually get a King Seiko, but want to dip my toes before jumping in.

Regards,

Ignacio

 

I'm so smitten by this one...must post again..

 

Where are you? I'm in the greater Los Angeles area and have my Seiko's serviced locally.

 

Thanks for replying. I’m in Maryland, DC area. My local watchmaker disappointed me with an vintage Omega, not being able to fix the day change. I’ve had good luck with Vintage Watch Restoration in Phoenix with my wife’s vintage Ladymatic and they’re working on the aforesaid Omega. I’m just not sure they do Sekos.

 

Well I pulled the trigger on the Seikomatic. Here are few pics from Ebay.

Still very happy with this

 

Took these pictures at a Seiko store while travelling. Thought you guys might enjoy.

 

So, how many did you buy?
Must have been like being in a sweetshop

 

Didn't get to buy any. Either too big for my wrist or out of my budget

 

Great photos though

Here is my Fifty Five Fathoms and I must say the build quality is amazing as so is the timekeeping

 

Here’s a few I have

 

Just in.

 

New baby arrived today - an Orange Samurai to join the BFK and beater.
