That's a good looking mod [emoji106]

Are the markers and hands luminous?

Where did you get the parts from?

Thanks. 

The dial is the 'Fuller 6 O'clock Special' from Jake (Dagazwatch.com) . It's awesome quality with polished lume filled markers. all round. 

Hands are from Dagaz also except the electric blue seconds from harold (yobokies)

And AR sapphire crystal from yobokies also

Took out my Seiko 7T32-6N10 for a walk to buy some bread this morning...

Desk diving today with Seiko 6309-7040 from Dec 1984. Has been reworked with new hands, dial, bezel insert and case base been lightly polished. This is one of the easiest wearing divers watch I've had the pleasure to slap on my wrist and fits ok under the sleeve of a dress shirt. This case style originally came with a black bezel but the guy I bought it from fitted a 'Pepsi' bezel. Looks good and it'll probably stay this way.

I have to say the quality of aftermarket parts is really goods these days..the only problem with the ones here is the poor lume.

Close up of the dial..alignment of the '150m' could be better!

okay piling on the Seiko bandwagon, don't wear this too often, but it's so cool even the wife likes it!

Certainly is cool [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106]

My best bargain. £20 on Gumtree

Another Accurist that I've just finished renovating. Has an Enicar 410 movement, and after a bit of hairspring manipulation, runs just fine. I'm thinking it's from the '50s, not sure.

[GeorgeClarkson]

On a mission (daily chores, not to save the world...) with the newly serviced Seiko 7T32-6M20...

The lume in this one is amazing....

[anilv]

Wearing a hand-wind Certina today. Believe it has a 25-xx movement. Been a while since I opened it up.

 

The weekend is just around the corner!

This is NOT a Seiko forum! Enough is enough. Try to bring some variety!

[Ishima]

I thought now would be a perfect time to share my every day faithful friend, a Seiko 5 passed down to me from my grandfather.

[jdm]

I'vd just realized that on a "watch of the day" thread pictures with a random date really gives away the fact that the watch was not being worn today ????. Well but at least I took the picture today.

[Tunokies]

Most of mine are Seiko  .....    However, wearing my only microbrand watch today.

Nezumi Voiture. Can't afford a Paul Newman Daytona, so this one will do until my numbers come up. It's got one of those meca-quartz movements. 

[GeorgeClarkson]

Taking pictures of my Seikos (yes, them again, jdm...) I managed to catch the small seconds hand at the very exact moment it pulses... Quantum seconds anyone?

BTW, I am wearing it...

Well here's what I'm wearing today! About as far from Seiko as you can get.

A 1980 Rolex ref 15000 with 3035 movt.

Not if you compare it with one of these!

I was looking at Jeffc83 posting showing the Helbros, in my travels I picked up a Gruen for spares/ repair that bears a remarkable similarity, I was attracted by the date at 6 and it does tick for a while so I live in hope.

Makes me wonder if there was a relationship between Helbros and Gruen but apart from the American connection there does not seem to be one

Cheers,

Breaking away from Seiko's for a change, i saw this and had to give it a work over  

Swiss Made but assembled in England, the case design is awesome, smooth curved lines contrasted with straight and angular hands/indices, and that seconds hand just tipped me over the edge

ETA 2783 - Summit 25 Jewel Automatic

[Geo]

Very nice indeed Mr Beat!

[Bimroy]

Ok so it's seikotime.  This is another "bitser"  that I've made up.  I went through a phase of these things.  It's an early 1960's seiko 8306 Sealion that I made up from my parts bin.  The movement is a low /hi beat (pending on how you look at it at 18000) 30 jewel unit.  Probably it's most interesting feature is the winding mechanism.  You can hand wind it or it self winds using a fairly complex, but very smooth and compact inversion roller type mechanism.  A nice change from the "magic arm"  so common in seikos. I just couldn't find any more original dials so it got a Seiko 5 pilot type one and  grafted it onto it.  It doesn't really reflect what's under the hood  (but I know and that's what counts),  but it's produced a nice daily wearer.

My "new to me" 7t42-6a50

Too much gold on bracelet and a link too short fort true comfort so just ordered a brown stingray leather strap.

[clockboy]

That is one nice watch. The gold style dial is really,really nice.
