Agreed - it took a great watch and made it better. Love the knurled crown and the hacking movement. Both are great improvements to an otherwise bullet proof watch.

Great thread; not sure why I haven't posted here yet.

6146:


I love its nuanced case shape.



And 5722:


And here's a Yobokies-modified SKX on a baseball mitt strap:

Thanks! I have a soft spot for Seikos that came out in the late 1960's, because that's the time period during which Seiko was embarrassing the entire Swiss watch industry so badly that they stopped doing chronometer competitions. And that was before the quartz "crisis."

Exactly. I bought this 6119 here from a gentleman who told me he wore it everyday for more than 35 yrs, and even said he used to throw it in the pool for his grandson to get from the bottom, and when I brought it to my watchmaker for a service the movement was shining like new. They surely know how to make great watches my friend.

Seiko Watches Picture Thread.

Love my 16610LV, I wear the green bezel all summer then swap for black during the winter,but....

My spork is my pub and cycling watch, haven't seen another one in the wild, seen a few 16610's though no LV's


I see more Rolex's than I so Seiko divers.


Enjoy.

That's awesome! Cool watch and great story, and you're still using its capabilities to the fullest!

I also have a local mall-Seiko guy; he loves seeing the old Seikos I bring to him for band swaps.

I have gone from owning no Seiko watches to three in less than a month.

I'm waiting on a stainless steel shroud for the LE baby tuna, and a couple of natos for the orange monster. I'm really happy with the strap I chose for the bloody monster.

Love my Seikos; great daily-wear watches. Looking for a 6309 at the moment...
