I love the pop of the seiko orange. I’ve been hunting down a few but all the ones I’ve seen are well over 40mm. What is the case size on that model if I may be so bold as to ask.

It's about 43mm. There were smaller orange dial quartz divers produced in the early '80's.. The mid size 6548. They don't turn up very often, but the demand isn't great, so when they do they are not generally too pricey

Not worn this in months but decided to put it on a bracelet yesterday evening, and think I will probably wear it a bit more now .

My wife says the goldtone was too much and i cant wear it in her presence.

So quickly changed to this.

Happy wife, happy life. And a great excuse for another watch...

I just sold my presage today. I loved that damn dial but it just took up too much wrist space and I thought it took away from the classiness of the watch and made it too flashy. It was a small time deal I picked it up for 190 sold for 260. I really want to pick up a vintage world timer. Found what I think is a decent one for 400 but having difficulty getting a very clear shot of the dial. I’ll dig up one of the blurry pics he did send but I know you gotta check these dials carefully.

It was a bit tough letting that presage go, perhaps if I hung on to it I would have become accustomed to the size. The guy was going crazy to get the watch, a local collector who has 300 watches. I’ll but the money to good use regardless. Building up for a more modern seamaster as well but something always comes along to change things

Dude I loved the dial on the damn thing and it was so comfortable but it wore bigger than I liked. If it was 38mm I would have been happier with it but it’s all good I’m definitely using the cash to get something else. It was a hard decision to make, I put it off for two days and the buyer kept txt me. I just let it go what can I say. Actually it was the same one you have there and I got it for 190 I think after shipping and taxes it was 200 so it was definitely a good deal.

Yes the importance of backups

I have tried that line on my wife as to why I need more watches.

Ive asked before for this and I understand not wanting to clutter up the forum list and end up with WUS madness...

But a lot of us are into Seiko esp vintage and more and more are seeing the upsides. The 2 Seiko forums out there are a bit sparse these days. I think if Any brand deserves its own sub forum here it’s Seiko.

What are these two seiko forums?
