That 5722 is STUNNING. Congrats on both those Grands!
Is the 6146 really 37mm in diameter? Looks great…Cool example of the Tanaka engineered "grammar of design". |

Thanks! Seems more like 36mm to me but I just have a tape measure, not those cool digital calipers.

Awesome vintage seiko's..... I love how the Bell Matic has the "to do" list next to the date and that watch predates the Palm Pilot by a LOT years :)

Thanks Tom. It's from late sixties-early seventies. This is an 'old' pic and I just got it back from service and it's looking brand new. The crown is winding smooth, the alarm working perfectly, and the brushed and polished details are so vivid now that I almost had tears in my eyes when my watchmaker gave it back to me. |

I will try to take some better pictures of the front and movement next week. It's possible the reference is on the dial, I don't know if you noticed the writing between the center of the dial and 6 o'clock. Can't read Japanese so I do not know what it says. |
