Arrived yesterday and doubt that it will be coming off the wrist any time in the near future...

That's a nice watch Nigel. I particularly like the hands, the minute reminds me of a Roman gladius. and the hour is like a hunting arrow head, they're brilliant! :)

Reminds me of some Dagaz hands and they are awesome! Nice Seiko, only need a padlock so it is safe on the wrist! :)

 

Cheers,

Thanks for the kind words guys, this is an amazing watch, I have seen the youtube videos and listened to folk wittering on about how easy it is to tell the time in a micro glance and how light the thing is you forget you are wearing it... I have worn watches for years and they all normally let me know what time it is....

 

its true... believe me, I have to agree 100% it is a fantastic piece of work... quality abounds here...

Love Seikos!

 

They are so under-rated as a brand.  As I've posted before ... if anyone asked me what brands they should be looking at for their next purchase: the first company I mention is Seiko.  Whether the budget is $300 or several thousand (a Grand Seiko), my answer is still the same.

Can't go wrong with a seiko that is a smashing looking watch agree with all the chat re the hands

My Japanese 007 says hi

Hi guys,

 

My newly restored skx something or other (7S26-0030) mid size diver from Seiko, "vintage":

 

 

By the way, if any one know the equivalence between the SKX (or whatever model number) and the 7SXX-XXXX correspondence/equivalence, please post a table. It would be very much appreciated (and useful). Thank you in advance,

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

 

PS. I retrofitted this watch with the new NH36 (or maybe the NH35 from cousinsUK with day disc added, will have to open again to look. Same thing basically) movement so it now hacks and hand winds (The original movement is complete, working and serviced in a little box in case I want to make it the real thing). The aftermarket dial window is not exactly where it should be cut - a little too low, fixed by repositioning dial feet which I preferred not to do/not worth it -- but at US$6 including shipping I'm not complaining! :)

Trouble is, they get addictive...
