    Morning Gang,

    Episode 13 of The Time 4A Pint Podcast is live - This week we spend a full 90 minutes, talking Seiko watches with Simon, who not only collects these wonderful Japanese time pieces, but repairs them too.

    He brought along an eclectic collection - Including a selection of stunning quartz chronographs, a 6139 "Pogue" that he brought back from it's watery demise, a quartet of high end vintage Seikos, including a Seikomatic, a King, a Grand, and a King Quartz, and last but not least, an immaculate H558 better known as "The Arnie" (due to it's appearance in Predator, and Commando).

    Between @ewand and Simon, I've caught the beginnings of some sort of Seiko based illness...

    Ok, I've never been that hot on Seikos but this gold (gold-plated?) version is too sick. What's the reference on this one?

    Thanks Nath!

    I love chatting watches with Simon, he's so excited by everything, and his depth of Seiko knowledge is fantastic. :)

    Ahh it's gone off to live with a chap who's new to collection... sure it will appear at a future GTG. :D
