Horizontal case brushing. Looks great not sure if I’ve seen it before anywhere. Either I’d love to have that piece.
Ah I see. Yeah sure, I take that as dibs? Haha

Have you noticed you’re kind of a magnet for trouble?
Are you constantly feeling like people say inflammatory things to you?
Do you feel misunderstood?

wrong.

and you don't speak for everyone or omegaforums.

if you don't like seiko's brand perception to americans you have more than me to worry about. my points are about brand perception ..notihng else

it's not subjective to use the word "boy" to the point here you can use it and say it didn't imply anything or meant something else. it was a not so veiled attempt of an insult..and a racist one at that. regardless if you didn't think it was

he was clearly making poor points from his side and was angered so he opted to drag the convo down the gutter and insult me because of it.

that's it in a nutshell
Good lord.

and don't call me boy and insult me. it's very racist and uncalled for

Well, I have to accept that insult happens when the person on the receiving end feels slighted irrespective of whether that slight was intended, deliberate or accidental.

I'm just saying that here in Britain boy is not construed as insulting or racist and, in fact, here in East Anglia (it's the mostly rural part which sticks out into the North Sea), boy is usually a term of endearment. Just because you find it "very racist" doesn't make it so any more than me thinking that my Seiko Sumo is a great watch doesn't make it so.

Can we get back to watches now chaps?

I was called "Luv" by the hairy-legged male proprietor in a corner shop in Yorkshire while wearing the new Seiko quartz on that particular trip and thought it was pretty cool too.

And, should you cross the Pennines to the "wet side" more widely known as Lancashire, you're equally likely to be addressed as "cock" without any form of insult being intended. Quite the opposite effect.

Would..."two nations divided by a common language" be appropriate?

Highly appropriate. Language, dialect and regional usage: far more interesting than silly old watches.

This one doesnt have “grand” in it. But paid GS price for it. Because i love how it looks. And it’s the queen of my stash. For now.

Saw a few chats recently about the alpinist in other fora. So got inspired.
And out of production! Great pieces.

So I know I'm new to the site and that a thimble of water holds more weight than I do, but yes please to the Seiko section.

Walked into a watch shop the other day and saw a Seiko advertisement. I thought "the picture looks like mine!" so I asked the dealer to let me take a picture together with 6105-8000.

I then realised it is not the same: it's a 6309 in the ad, promoting the modern Prospex range which uses a similar case. That said, the 6309 does take design queues from the 6105-8100, and who knows, maybe there will be a reedition of the first generation of Seiko's second diver.

Not a Seiko Watch but a Seiko movement used by Paul Peugeot (this one) , Westclox and other makers.


The Seiko 66A
AKA F 200 or A 201(Westclox)

The Seiko watches with this movement are respected for durability. The others seem to have had a following in their day.
A solid no nonsense manual wind every day watch.
