I changed my Sumo with those hands from MM300, took few pix and seemed to like the pix but eventually switched back to sumo's with a little tweak
Lovely and in great nick too!

That's really lovely (as are all of the photos). Can you tell us a bit more about it?
Here is my LE Spring Drive Chrono
Hi :-)
the watch is dated from 1964. I have serviced it a few months ago. I ask watchmaker to change the hesalite and i have keep the original with a few scratches (check photo 6).
It's manual winding and the feeling during that is great. It give me the same feeling like some old pocket watches. 19mm lugs and 36mm case. It keeps correct time (+15sec/24hours) the same timekeeping like before service. Power reserve is almost 2 days.
Seiko Champion 850 is in the same watch line with Seiko Champion 850 Alpinist, the ancestor of today Alpinist (SARB 017). Actually, they have the same movement. For more information about seiko alpinist please look here http://thespringbar.com/seiko-alpini...lectors-guide/
In the above link you can find photo's of the movement from Seiko Champion 850 Alpinist
Below you can see a few today photo's. I was trying to open the case back for take photo's of the movement but i manage to put some scratch at the case back, so i give up. Maybe i will go to my watchmaker for open the caseback and take some photo's. When i will do that, i will post photo's of the movement. I must to inform you that the movement from my Champion is in pristine contition (it's new). In the photo's below you can see some distortion caused by hesalite crystal.
Best regards Dear Sir

PS sorry for my poor English. I hope you can understund what i mean
Been wearing my SRP777 almost exclusively since I got it, but with the sunshine over the last few days I thought I'd get this one on the wrist again. I'd forgotten just how great it is
On a blue nato atm.
I've dug this Brightz model out for the last few days.
I bought it in Japan in 2012 and I've never seen another since, not even on a forum!
It's not particularly special, but it does ooze quality.
It has the 6r21 movement found in a few GS and Ananta models and a very nice feel about it.
The dial is wonderfully glossy and the purple power reserve stripe really shines in some lights.
Don't see this one ever going...
Love it.How about a Vintage LM from 1977
Here's the 5 I bought recently as a beater cheap, and that dial lends military a flavour helped along today by the postman delivering this grey 19mm NATO:
New in Turtle, must get some new NATO's for the summer.
And a few more

I sold this one and normally delete photos of sold watches, but I was so chuffed with this photo I kept it on file.
Ahhh the old Spork....love it!
Crackin' Spork photo, I love mineI sold this one and normally delete photos of sold watches, but I was so chuffed with this photo I kept it on file.
Never understood why they stopped making it, it's just about the perfect combo for me.
Working on bike with this Titanium 200m
5106-900 from November 1967. It'll be off to Cannop in a couple of weeks to bring it back to its former glory
Currently seen here fitted with an Emperor Nouveau strap, but there's an 18mm black Hirsch Duke in the post to me at the moment. The original bracelet is complete but filthy and I could probably do with an extra link or two (which might be hard to find) so it may have to stay on leather.
You might have seen this elsewhere, but it's the first Seiko I've bought new in a while
Initially it seemed a bit small, but it actually wears pretty well and I'm very pleased with it!

So a good couple of years after getting rid of my last Seiko (an Orange Sumo) I've now eventually got around to getting another one...
Skx009 out and about :)

Some Seikos
Seiko SARB on brown cordovan strap
Seiko high beat chronometer on blue Rios alligator grain strap
Seiko SUS GMT on black cordovan strap
Seiko 009 jubilee bracelet
Seiko Turtle re-edition black and gold on Italian rubber strap
I found the bracelet for the new Turtle while a decent enough bracelet (reminded me a bit of the SARB bracelet other than the divers extension clasp) It was too heavy and weighed down the watch. Strap I got was from Watch Gecko and is very comfortable on this watch. I have not found the bezel problems that have been well documented on the Turtle but I understand that for some reason they are not as common on the black and gold versions.
I dug this out of a drawer last weekend when I went out to do some gardening. It was a daily wearer of mine 2003-2015 so I am quite attached to it, even if I no longer wear it.

Very nice. I hummed and harred about a similar Seiko on eBay a while back. I thought I liked the shape but wasn't sure enough to buy it. ;-)Seiko high beat chronometer on blue Rios alligator grain strap
Good strap choice too. Suits it.
First time worn in a while, still loads of bang for the money

Recently got this, need a new strap (have the original, don't like and on a z-22 now that don't fit...) but otherwise great watch for the price I paid :-)
Lovely dial, nice finish. Big though at 48mm...

Seiko Skx007 - my first 'proper' watch and the watch that has me hooked on finding my next one with this as my reliable beater.
Only joined today so can't seem to post a pic yet unfortunately!
just bought a 7S26 and am awaiting delivery ... seeing all these seikos is making the wait harder !
