^^^ Wow, that's a stunner. Not common to see these in good condition nowadays.
Postman delivered this today made in April 1979 and bought from the original owner.
It will be getting a clean shortly as it’s a bit dirty and the bezel is currently stuck but I just love the dial colour.
Cheers

Thanks Mark and I sort of stumbled across it without actually looking for this model. I seem to have been fortunate lately picking this up and a lovely 7A28 “Pogue” a few weeks earlier.Originally Posted by markrlondon

Army green NATO: sacrilege
Ha ha, Ive actually always liked it on a black NATO but swapped to green today for a bit of a change. I assume it should be on a Grey NATO for originality ?Army green NATO: sacrilege
A Seiko I have been hunting for a while just arrived.
My 4th 7548 pepsi. Fully original & happy to find one in this condition (42yrs and ticking)...
Love this pair.

Although I don't think I can pull off the metal rally bracelet like he could!

Probably more suited for the ‘watches in the sunshine’ thread but thought I’d share one of my current favourites While the sun was in fact shining....
Thanks

Those are some wicked tuna!
Here’s one of my many Seikos. Need to get a replacement battery for this one.
Sun045p1 for today.

SBDX001
Fantastic photo. I’ve never owned one of these despite owning many Seikos. It’s a watch that always makes me stop and think, mainly if I could handle the heft.SBDX001
I just dug up my well-worn Spork a few days ago, had nearly forgotten how much I like this one. Overdue for a re-issue IMO.

Looking good! You can take a good photo Gavin. The ‘ghosting’ on the bezel was one of my favourite aspects of the watch.SBDX001
I wore mine a couple of days last week. The 001 is the best looking version IMO. Something about the bezel, the domed crystal and vintage looking lume. It looks good on any strap but the bracelet it’s my favourite. (Chocolate bar rubber 2nd) it’s almost the perfect dive watch.SBDX001
Thanks pal. Pure luck with the photos lol! Does help the watch is very photogenic too.Looking good! You can take a good photo Gavin. The ‘ghosting’ on the bezel was one of my favourite aspects of the watch.
Completely agree. It is the best variation. Just popped back onto rubber earlier too.

Currently my fav. From 3rd attempt...
This beauty arrived this morning.
Bracelet is nice, but isn’t the original and doesn’t suit the watch, so I’ll be looking for a replacement.
Just wearing ti see what sort of time it’s keeping.
^^^ Interesting patina there.
Going to leave it as is or might you try and clean it? (I'm not sure if cleaning it would actually be possible but I do wonder sometimes).
I think that watch would look good on a decent leather strap or perhaps a mesh bracelet/strap.
It doesn’t look as bad/yellow in real life. I’m tempted to try to clean it up but I’m not sure where to even start. I’ll have to do some research.
I have a few spare Seiko straps that I might try on it. I’ve been having a look online to try to work out what the original bracelet would have looked like.
Wearing it again today to give it a run out. Seems to be keeping pretty good time.
I would not clean it.
That patina is what makes it special...hence the name "KS Special" :)
Haha fair point! It looks very sun-kissed
This arrived yesterday and immediately started experimenting with bracelets and straps.
Evergreen
This arrived today. Another Seiko coming on Saturday too
that sarg009 is just the nuts , a design that’s coherent and works perfectly with form following function

Tnx
What to choose? SARG vs SARW. Both are a joy to wear... Love that military layout and versatility. 40mm is ideal for casual but works also as a dressy piece.
And why the gave up from "S" on the crown? Small detail but watch looks so much better
