I'm a Seiko Fanatic - Part 1 of ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'll put a lot of carriage returns in here so it's readable. The pictures are kinda huge.

I know, I know. I'm now to be forever known as the guy who's obsessed with Seikos.

I really haven't been able to help it lately. Seriously. It all started with a Seiko 5 Superior.

I got it from a member on watchuseek and couldn't be more thrilled with it. Such a stunning watch.

I got that in the mail last week.

Well, this week I did it again! I purchased two more watches from the same guy.

This time they reached me (in NJ) in 4 DAYS from Singapore!

First up is a 6309-8070. 17 jewels.

Made in September, 1976, this beauty was bought by the seller NOS from a dealer.

It's 37mm and it's a real beauty. Love the vertical day/date too!

Only imperfections are around the edge of the crystal.

If you look close it looks like maybe it was replaced, who really knows. I still LOVE it!

Next up is a fabulous 7009-3160!

This one is either from 1976 or 1986 (seller thought it was probably '86) and is full SS.

This one is also 37mm. The pictures don't really do the dial justice!

This 7009 movement changes the day by pushing IN on the crown. Pretty awesome!

All three of these have movements made in Japan (unlike my Monsters.

The Black Monster's movement is made in Singapore and the Orange is made in Malaysia).

I hope people are reading this. I love bragging about these watches.

Hopefully they don't get me too far out of the rep game! Look for part 2 of this. . .

. . .that's when my Bell-Matic comes!!

Wurd. I have a Seiko Orange Monster, an SKX009, and one of the 37mm Seiko 5 pilot style autos. Every one is as dependable as Marshal Dillon.
