Today we have a Seiko Spirit, specifically a SCVS003. This is the black dial version with the hacking and handwinding 6R15 movement and the sort-of Jubilee style bracelet. A short digression about Spirits, SCVSs and SARBs: The SCVS-prefix 6R15-based mechanical Spirits have been discontinued and have been replaced by the SARB-prefix 6R15-based mechanical range. The SARBs are listed by Seiko Japan ...

A step forward in time compared to yesterday's Bell-Matic, but not as up to date as the Proteus from the day before: A West End Sowar Prima day-date homage. I rather suspect this will not be to everyone's taste. Quite a few people dislike homages, especially Rolex homages, they often dislike diamonds even more, and they really hate cyclopes[1]. Well, that's what we've got here. (Except the 'diamonds' ...

This is an unusual watch for me as it is particularly dressy. I don't usually do very dressy, somehow 'delicate' looking, watches like this one. And yet here it is, here I am wearing it, and I don't plan on selling it. I bought this as NOS, if I remember correctly, from mitadoc on TWF and I fell in love with it the moment I saw it in his advert. It was mainly the lovely blue dial that caught my ...
