That is a fine looking group... A collection in their own right.
That is stunning!SBDX012 arrived yesterday,
I have a 6159-7001 and Mm and now feel I need to add an SBDX012 to the collection
Regards Gerard
That's a beauty, how are you finding it so far? I'm hoping for one to arrive here this week and it will be put away for my 40th next year.

On it's way to me.

Stefan,
Looks great.
Send it over when you get tired of it.😄
I think it works very well, especially on rubber.
Must say I admire your discipline, that will be one loooong wait.
Like I did with my SBDX003 a couple of years ago?
Well, in the unlikely event that happens I'll keep you in mind!
Bought new and still going ;-)
Exactly.Like I did with my SBDX003 a couple of years ago?
!
Though my fond hope is you really like it a lot and keep it. Looks absolutely lovely.
ThanksI think it works very well, especially on rubber.

Do I spy a 1600e in the back there!That is lovely.
Of those watches, are they all about the same size, or smaller, than the SBCM023? That's what it looks like, but it's hard to tell if it's just the angle of the photo.
from left to right:
SBGM001: 39mm
Sbcm023: 38mm
7a38: 38mm (guessing)
SBGV009: 37mm
SII: 37mm
KS5626: 37mm
Bought this Seiko Prospex Diver recently as a beater.
Very impressed with quality and value for money.
I think I should add my two to here then. :)
On the left, you can't go wrong with an SBDC001 on an Endmill bracelet. I polished the end link corners to continue the flow of the polished section on the Sumo.
On the right, the budget favourite; an SNXS79 - stupidly good value at around the £50 mark! I intend to polish the end links on this bracelet at some point.

I just took some more photos of the SBGV009 and SBCM023
New to me today
It's nice (and unusual) to see such a great collection, spanning divers and dress watches, that doesn't have a watch over 39mm in it!
Well spotted!
I've been at it again...

These cars were new whilst I was in my apprentice days,I remember doing pre delivery on new ones! Always a special car for me,any photos to pm to me?
Thanks! I've had a mm300, a 6309-7040, a sumo and a SBGX117 (GS Quartz diver which is 42mm) and that worked, but I prefer 37-39mm watches.
23 Jewel xx15 powered SKX007 heaven
My "go to" quartz - think I've had this for about 8 years; one I'll never move on.
It's becoming increasingly clear to me that I'm going to have to buy a 6309! They are very cool!

Got an 007 on today.

There have been a few 6309 converts here and they can be addictive. Pure retro comes to mind.

I always thought I wanted a 1974 birth year 6105, but the 6309 is just, you know, just .......yeah!!! ;-)
Shame I wasn't born 10 years later!!
Oh wow, amazing. I can see where recent Grand Seiko designers got some of their inspiration.

New arrival, been after one of these for ages....
Excellent, not seen one of these in years.New arrival, been after one of these for ages....
Wow , I've never seen one of those, looks great.
took this old 7548 and TST mod by Mr TigerUK...
added a little of this...
and a new bezel insert and lumpy bracelet, Hey presto..
Possibly the worlds first TST seiko hydro
Not the usual fare here but bought this on the spur of the moment while the better half was getting a new gold watch.
MY Seiko Sportura Kinetic GMT 5M85, love the look even though it looks big on my skinny wrist. Doesn't look quite as big in real life!
Very nice. I love these Seikos and have been tempted more than once, but sadly they look ridiculous on my scrawny wrist. :(

yupbecame a very long 30min project
did it as a bit of fun and now have to hydro test it when I get back to Aus, we are doing a hydro test on my return to 186Barg so im going to stick it in a basket and see where it gets to. im not expecting the case or seals to fail but I think the movement will give out like the Sinn UX at 5000m (even though the case is good for 3x that) but if I can get it up to 50bar ill be happy.
you can see most of the work up to this point here.. http://timekeeper.co.nz/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4172 few niggles on the way but I think after the pressure test ill make a proper bell jar and start to build a proper finished example.
Brilliantyup

Here's mine- very similar - I did have as a pepsi but scored a nice blue insert recently on eBay
I like the blue, very sharp. did you oil fill the watch? be interested to hear how others have approached it. im thinking when I pressure test and prove the principal I can build my own vacuum with the car tyre inflator or a willy pump! and should be able to fill them without the need to remove the movement at all.
been real fun to do and I have a few more to do afterwards, looking for a seiko gmt quartz movement for the next one and make a Sinn U2 style TST with the ultra busy watch below...
when I get the quartz gmt I can fit a 4th hand (I can, Ha, a proper watch boffin can) then oil fill and have a 10 o'clock crown, oil filled, GMT, TST seiko
