oooh nice. I wanted to get one last time I visited Tokyo, but they were already all gone. Got me a *cough*G-Shock*cough* instead.

Today I received from my Professor the final grade for my Thesis. On top I had a Job Interviw that went great.
Couldn't think of a better Watch to celebrate this moment.

They are very nice it will look better when I put it on a bracelet. I actually got mine from a nice young Chinese fellow who is here in the US studying. He had been in Japan prior to arriving in the US. He had this and the other seiko model only sold in Japan, it’s something 033. I know people are seeking it I just forget the official numbers of the watch. Anyway he almost sold both but last minute he changed his mind and wanted to keep the other. Anyway good on him, he was very pleasant to deal with. I just recommended the alpinist to someone else who asked me about it I know the black and other dial models are the desirable ones these days but the I find the green dial very nice

New watch arrival during lunch today.

I suppose I was introduced to this model in a photo from a Forum post here a while back as I don't participate any any other watch forums. Date feature, and especially day feature notwithstanding, the styling of this Seiko appealed to me, especially with its Arabic numeral markers. So, set out to locate one. It's a Seiko SRP715. Apparently not produced for long and discontinued before I discovered it, it must not have been popular for it's a bit hard to find. I'd have been even more charmed if a simple "3" numeral marking had been substituted for the day/date feature.

Even without luminescent numeral markers it has more and better lume than any watch I've had.

14364-1 Brother to the 2998 Speedmasters, June 1961. Wearing today.

14364-2 October 1962, for comparison. Sixteen months later.
Curious, are those original sub-dial hands on the -2 or were they originally more like the -1 sub-dial hands? The man hands are the same design, seem to clash with the straight sub-dial hands.
