Flyback

Just two shots of the finished watch.

Seiko 6m25 arrived

Yesterday I received the watch. Case and crystal have some scratches, but overall condition is good. Chrono function is awesome!

Working with case

Some cleaning ad polishing... and the result

Past.. Seiko Royal Oak

Sometimes I am buying, sometimes selling - life is changing :)

Yesterday I was thinking about watch which I sold few months ago - very nice Seiko quartz with interesting design, simmilar to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.

Waiting for the new watches

I am waiting for 2 quartz chronographs - one is classic lcd, another one very interesting with 6m25 movement.

Photos from auctions.

Seiko 7016-5020 arrived

2 hours ago I received the watch.

Unfortunately the watch is looking worse than I supposed.. really disgusting, dirty and ugly ;)

I will try to repair it by my watchmaker - at the moment case is clean, so I have to find new crystal, and service the movement.

Waiting for the seiko

Yes.. finally I won auction and I am waiting for the package.

You can see poor photo from auction..

My custom made straps

Some time ago I started with strapmaking. That was very hard to do and I wasted a lot of leather and time :) , but now I can say that my straps are well made, without mistakes .
I am using special leather wax for impregnate, so straps are very soft.

This really great thing to do Final Product by connecting leather, wax, glue and thread - just awesome feeling :)

Seiko 7a28-7040

Second shot of this month is Seiko Military Quartz Chronograph 7a28-7040. This is very interesting model with fully (15) jewelled quartz chronograph (no plastic parts!) with split second function. 40mm case is beadblasted, 100m water resist, with bi-directional diving bezel. Crystal is scratched, bezel also - but this is wabi, and I like it :) Really nice watch - actually my EDC.

Seiko Bellmatic 4006-7020

One month ago, I found this watch at internet auction. Seller's photos were very poor, and the watch was looking very crappy . When the watch arrived, I was shocked :) Great condition, like NOS 27j bell-matic with awesome dial! You can see wristshot of this watch compared to my other bellmatic.

GMT's arrived!

Both are excellent condition, especially dials and hands. Navigator Timer have more case scratches than world-time but I think it will be few minutes of work;) World Time case back is marked 6117-6400, Navigator's back 6119-6003 - but afaik this is not original number of this model.

Seiko Bell-matic 4006-6010

This is my second bell-matic. I bought it about two months ago from my friend. This watch is not spectacular (like my another bell;) but feature very very nice textured dial. The second good thing is that alarm works properly and very loud - like new. This is 17 jewels version of 4006 caliber. I like this watch a lot;)

New Shots - Seiko Navigator and World Time

Wooah - I just pullin the trigger and I am waiting for 2 vintage beauties - Seiko Navigator and World Time - watches with GMT function:

7002 Diver Mod

Yesterday my watchmaker put all things together.
Unfortunately crystal from 7s26 divers was too small, so
we put old crystal (with scratches).. but watch looks good.

Bellmatic like new!

Yesss! My Watchmaker makes Bellmatic like new!

I love this watch!

7002 - Project Mod started

Seiko Bell-matic 4006-7010

Yeah!
Yesterday I received this beauty:)
Overall condition is great. Dial is perfect, case only with few minor scratches.
Crystal is poor.
Interesting thing I realized - kanji-day wheel is silver, date wheel is white:/

Oldschool diver with orange zulu

How you like it?

My new vintage diver - Seiko 7002

I just received this watch.

This is seiko diver 7002 with 700j case.
Seiko calculator told me that watch is from 1991.

This series 7002 was produced from 1988 to 1996. Next model was skx007/009 and another in similar case, produced from 1996 - present.

I love the dial with "Water 150m Resist" and "17jewels", marked also "made in japan".

There is one interesting thing - I opened case and movement is marked seiko singa-pore.
I think someody changed original movement, but I'm not sure, If you can help me, please lett me know.

Upolowalem ostatnio tego rarytasa, trochę zniszczony ale ma już swe lata.
Muszę dowiedzieć się, czy mechanizm byl wymieniany, wydaje mi się, że w modelach "made in japan" werk byl też tak sygnowany, a tu jest "singa-pore".

W każdym razie zegarek jest swietny i być może posluży jako baza do modyfikacji:)
