    My eyes, my eyes.
    Seriously that's an interesting piece. Looks like a 60's spy film prop. A friend had a fountain pen with a built in recorder. Not that expensive but a wonder of miniaturization.

    The last one on the right should be easy. The lume is so insane you can actually partially read what is written on the dial...

    Read through the entire thread yesterday. Nice to see the Seiko love. I've collected them for a while. Here's most of them.

    Early on collecting watches I focused on watches with 36000 bph movements. So I got some Seiko Hi Beats dress watches
    [​IMG]

    Discovering the Zenith El Primero got me to investigating the race to produce the first automatic chronograph. Collected some 1969 Cal 11 and El Primero chronos but discovered Seiko 6139 with March production serial numbers and then February production serial numbers. I call these "The Proof 6139s" (bottom row 6139s are 2/69 production, top row are 3/69) because they prove that Seiko was first to produce an automatic chronograph.

    [​IMG]

    Moving on, I endeavored to collect an example of every automatic chronograph movement produced. This led to some other vintage Seiko chronographs and some contemporary ones.

    Automatic chronographs led to the Speedmaster which led to space flown watches which let to the Pogue.

    [​IMG]

    The Pogue has helped me understand the nature of Seiko "collectors". Compared and contrasted to Omega collectors, Seiko collectors typically are pretty indiscriminate. One of the Pogues above isn't a correct Pogue. OTOH, Seiko collectors regularly refer to blue dialed 6139s or alternate yellow dialed 6139s as Pogues. To a significant number of Seiko collectors 6139-600X is synonymous with Pogue. This is like saying an Omega 145.022 or 3570.50.00 are flown Speedmasters or all manual wind Speedmasters are the same.

    It dawned on me that there were dive watches with 36000 bph movements, which led me to the 6159-7000 and 7010, which led me to Seiko vintage dive watches and ultimately dive watches in general.

    So much more Seiko stuff I want.....
