Thanks Bas. Ok, here's a snap of most of my current personal collection, not including the higher-end vintage GS and KS pieces that I have for sale.

Impressive!
Can you please take an extreme close-up shot of the Seiko GS at the lower right corner? The one with Arabic numerals?

Thanks.

Sure, actually it's a Lord Marvel, from 1978 - the last year of production. GS and KS had both stopped making mechanical watches by then, so it's kind of cool that the LM persevered a bit longer with the Hi-Beat movement.

In addition, if you decide to sell this let me know.

I can sell my other kidney.

At this point in the crisis, I'll settle for any 12 yr SM. Probably end up seeing what I can get at duty free from Kansai.
