Kind of a poor-man's Octo Finissimo 😀



Twice the thickness (10.3mm as I measured) but a fraction of the cost.

(and twelve-sided, not eight)

Double dog vintage for Saturday…-64 and -71 respectively…


And perfectly synchronized, quite a feat with a non-hacking movement!

"Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise"

Seiko Saturday chores, cleaning off the back porch and moving the firewood back to the main stack for the season. Not much chance of needing a cozy fire in this part of Texas after this point. We only had about five days this winter when we had weather and time for a cozy fire.

Decided to finally wear this thing - been sitting in my watch case unloved for a long time.



It managed to survive arts and crafts time without incident.

From my limited understanding, the Zodiac inroduced the separating spine in the hand around 1962 or 1963. I think it was during or after this period the hackset was introduced too. I'm guessing your SW features a 699 movement, seeing SWISS is printed below 6 o’clock. Is yours rated for 10 ATM or 20 ATM on the caseback?

20 ATM.

Thanks much for posting the Sea Wolf lore. That's the most I've read on the internet on identifying my Sea Wolf.
