$270 for the pair! With boxes.

 

I was wearing my MM300 last week, and a non watch person at the sushi bar asked me if it was a Rolex. I was proud to say “only a Seiko”. It is beautiful and has so much presence. I love all of my watches, but this the only one I won’t sell, trade, etc. The ultimate tool peice and I love it. When shopping for a grail beater @Foo2rama said to go for the MM. Glad I listened.

 

I’m glad you where the recipient of one of the rare times I was correct!!

Great piece. In person they are just stunning.

 

This was my wife’s grandfather’s Seiko.

 

Last 6139 cousin returned from service...now on an uncle seiko jubilee and oh so lovely...

Got this new in 1989 my first watch still runs like new

 

I have more and want more

 

Unworn from 1960s.

HOW?!

 

Pawnshop find. Actually paid $120 for the Alpinist, but decided to throw it up on eBay as green is not my thing. I’ll keep the Presage for a bit but will probably flip it to buy one of these for shits and giggles. I’ve come to realize that as much as I like vintage watches, I do not treat them well enough to deserve them. Especially if they are gold/gold filled.

 

Sunday shine.

 

For 120$ I would have bought that off you in a instant

 

Trying to give this one some more use now it's been serviced and the skx is my daily worker.

 

That's a beauty

 

Went a bit mad at an auction last week...

A 6130-3002 Jumbo
A 6138-8020 Panda (with the wrong hands)

A 4006-6040 Bellmatic

A 7019-6070 Calendar

But the real find for me was a couple of job lots of 7As. They're quartz, so not everyone's favourites, but I love 'em

 

Bottom row, far right - only the third one I've seen in nearly 30 years. I got one for my birthday in 1989. Hated the hair-pulling bracelt so teamed it up with a strap, much more comfortable...

 

It's the 701B, the so-called Vulcan -- a name given to it by an unscrupulous dealer who falsely claimed they were issued to Vulcan bomber pilots -- they've got a lot of presence. NIce pic by the way.

 

Isnt this just such an interesting thread? Seiko Flightmaster Royal Oak for now at least...
