    For sure we don't really need watches to tell the time any longer :)
    And now back to Seikos...

    Yeah, but I think there is less paying for the name and more watch.::stirthepot::

    Vintage Grand Seiko was my first nice mechanical watch. It is fantastic. The high beat sounds amazing. I doubt I will ever sell. It showed me that vintage watches are where it's at.

    I also have a Pogue. The history of these watches are great and I love the color. I just wish it had a second hand. image.jpeg

    I have several more,for now the only other one I'll mention is the modern Grand Seiko Snowflake. Titanium. It's really a fantastic and lite. However, it's not really my style, so I'll probably end up selling it.

    Nice one Jsaen! I have the same 6146-8000 with cross hairs. The hi-beat movement is indeed fantastic, still keeping excellent time after 45 years:thumbsup:

    Nice one Peatnick! Here is my 1972 GS with the same 6146 movement but a different reference. Absolutely love the design and robustness of vintage GS's!

    So a young guy at work brought this in to show me, he’d found it in his dad’s drawer although never remembered him wearing it………..it’s a non runner it seems.

    Of course it might just need a damn good service but if the problem goes deeper than that does anyone know how easy it is to get parts for these now?

    I like these watches Spike.

    There are a few places on the net that you can get the odd new spare and second hand donor movement. Remember you cannot wind this watch manually, it is auto-wind only. You will at least need a new crown as the one on the watch is not original. The original should be virtually flush with the case and is used for setting the time when pulled out, setting the day and date by pressing in, and rotating the inner bezel when in the normal position.
