New member says hi - collection pics as requested

[FoweyUK]

Hi Folks

Just signed up today as a friend from SWCF suggested I join this forum as it is friendly and may have information posts and people of interest.

I also use watchuseek forum and am a new collector of Seiko divers (around 11 months or so)

Current collection is

Black Monster, SKX007J, SNDA13 Black Caesar, SNDA15 Yellow Caesar, refurbed orange dial modded 7002 7000, SQ100, Marathon TSAR

Looking for a 6309 7040 to restore at the moment and have a Spork and Stargate on my wish list.

Gotta get my posts up to 50 before I can access all areas so this is the beginning.

Hi Mark

My name is Glenn Thow and my nickname at school was Fowey and it has stuck all my life.

Thank you all for the welcome.

This is post number two, ask me some more questions :wink:

Welcome aboard, chap.

[Backward point]

Welcome.

Word of advice - don't keep mentioning your desire to get to 50 posts. For some reason that (and speedposting in order to achieve said grail) seems to bring about the infamous "Forum Software Glitch" which will see you, your post count or sometimes even both disappear.

Besides, all the good stuff is bought and sold (at bargain prices) in The Bullingdon.


Regards

Ian

Hi and welcome to the machine!

The Seiko thing will hold but I'm sure a roving eye will prevail also.

Hi and welcome to the forum

[FoweyUK]

Thanks for the big welcome guys, I must say that since I joined 3 forums my behaviour has turned to borderline obsession :)

You read a post and see some wonderful photographs and then add it to your wish list.

I am currently on the hunt for a Vintage 70's Seiko 6138-0011 and have some WTB ads out there. I have just purchased a 6309-7040 completely original but a bit beat up that I am going to restore to its former glory, watch in the mail and currently gathering the tools required to strip it down.

Last week I obtained after a long search a Seiko SNDA13P2 Black Ceasar to go with the Yellow one I purchased (and love) some months ago, you can see some pictures of them both on this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=208942

I enjoy taking pictures of my collection and will endeavor to get some done during this week and post them up.

Great to meet you all.

Hello and welcome

[HappyJack]

Welcome from a wee bit further south...

I used to have a 6309-7049 for many years - eventually sold it for a contribution to my Fortis chrono fund - but great, practical watches. Enjoy yours and look forward to seeing the "after" photos

Hi Guys as requested here are a few random pictures of some of my collection, I have been so busy at work I have not had time to include them all.

My first Seiko Diver - Black Monster, this is what started everything off 14 months ago.

That gives you a little insight into my collection, I have a couple of scrappy 6309-7290's en-route to practice my restoration skills on and on my immediate wish list is an SRP043 Spork and a Vintage 6138-0030 Big Blue.

[leechaz]

[FoweyUK]

Thanks Lee, I am really enjoying collecting Seikos, and now I have started tinkering that has opened up a whole new dimension to the hobby.

Just took the dog for a walk, the snow is nearly all melted here in Lincolnshire, took a couple of quick snaps of the SKX007J which I put on a Super Oyster bracelet, while I had the chance.
