I like the silverwave dial and case but not sure on having the entire caseback text stamped into the bezel. Maybe just the model name?

 

I like the bezel stamping but never realized until I looked closer at this one all the info that is stamped on it .

I like the mesh band on it and the case resembles the Seiko 6139 chronograph "Helmet " or "Darth "Vader"..I've attached a pic of that model . 

Also , I like the Silverwave line . I have a few in quartz and automatic .

Those 6139's yours?

The Helmet is one of my mini grails along with a Pogue.

 

Yes they are . The one with the Herring bone bracelet was a basket case when I got it  . It took me a while to learn to learn how it works , put it together , and make the small adjustments to get it to work and reset properly . I picked the other one up recently for parts or repair...$56... A case tube for one of the pushers must have been replaced a little crooked , because the pusher got stuck each time you pushed it. I reamed and polished the inside of the pusher and it was good to go .

 I've attached a pic of my Pogue . It's a water resist . They first came out with water proof , shortly after with water resist , and then no markings .

 

I've also attached some pics of a couple of other Seiko Silverwave models . I have some quartz models stashed away someplace .

I have one of those Silver Wave analog/digitals myself... Same model as yours. I bought it new, but have forgotten what year that was.

       Hi Gryf, is yours still working ? I got mine earlier this year for around $100 more or less .

You can get the production year and month by the serial number... I think the link below will tell you for most Seiko's with the 4 digit hyphen 4 digit = xxxx-xxxx = caliber - case #....and the serial # , both of which should be on the case back .

Hi, Ricardo -

Yes, my Silver Wave analog/digital is still working like new. Funny though, when I traced the numbers using the site you mentioned, it came up as "unknown". FYI, the caliber/case numbers are H239-5040 and the serial is 0D1496. I notice now that the analog dial is very slightly different from yours. Aside from that, they appear to be identical.

Thanks for the reference,

Gryf

Hpwzit Gryf ,  OK then . That production calculator didn't work for our Seiko Digitalis [ I'm surprised ] , so here's another source that lists your model as 1980..

 

Have you got a pic ? I'd like to see it .........Laters , Louis

      Timegrapher noob questions

      By Terrinecold · Posted

      Hello,  have a Weishi 1000 timegrapher.  I am pretty clear with the basic operations (after all I can read the manual and watch videos). However there are things I still don’t understand.  If you see the attached picture I am clear with the meaning of the first line of values (rate, amplitude, beat error, frequency+lift angle) what I don’t understand is what are the numbers below ( in the picture a bunch of +4).  Also how to interpret the actual graph is a mistery. What is it actually showing?  What does the line angle mean. The one in the picture (st36 brand new and not in a case) has some periodic one pixel wiggles then very straight line then one pixel wiggles. Is it good, bad, normal?  I am pretty clear that if the reading is wild it is bad. But otherwise no idea how to interpret it.

      Second hand watch market.

      By spectre6000 · Posted

      I don't think the younger generation is trashing the watches they find. They don't have a ton of disposable income, so I'm pretty sure they're selling them off. There's always some arbitrage, but it's hard to imagine even the most ignorant and callous sock drawer digger throwing out something like that. I think they're coming back in style. Demand side increase. Sorta like vinyl. Most people wear iWatches/stream music. The sentimental/nerdy types wear a proper watch/listen to vinyl. CDs exist for music that wasn't ever pressed or just to catch some of the mass market; everything new is either streamed or vinyl. Watches are going the same way; quartz is for that range of years where it was what was found in the high end stuff (though I'm pretty certain mechanical was king even then), but it's really only for if you really want that very specific watch. Otherwise, it's just to pick up the bottom of the market that is still spending money. The people who are actually interested are buying mechanical, because it's what's actually interesting and engaging. Unfortunately, the new market is big bucks. Vintage is half the price with 70% the cache. More if you're suitably intentional and picky with your buys.  That's admittedly a bit of speculation... I'm cloistered up here in my mountain hideout, and avoid other people as much as I can get away with...

      Listen to that little voice in your head

      I'm a teetotaler. Many members of my family are alcohol intolerant.  When I was a baby, my parents gave me a teaspoon of Woodwards Gripe Water and I turned cherry red and passed out for a day. They rushed me to the doctor the next morning and he had a good laugh. Those were the days when baby formulations contained alcohol. I remember watching a darts competition where one of the contestants said that a certain level of alcohol is needed to calm the nerves and stop the shakes. I wonder if that works in watchmaking. 🤔
