A plain turtle with light mod: coin edge bezel (goes nice with the crown knurling), flat sapphire and lollipop seconds hand (my fav. here as it reminds me of 6306/9 turtle).

Baby turtle on a Haveston nato. Haven't worn it for a while but I love it. Couldn't decide on this thread, watches in sunshine, or just the Friday thread...doesn't matter I guess.

Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!

Just picked up a Seiko Prospex Tuna Arnie, I do love a Tuna and a beast of a watch.
Contrary to what various dealers with a vested interest might tell you, Bruce Lee's Seiko 6139 was brown. At least he wore a brown one and maybe also had a black one...
[It's easy to see why in some photos of Bruce, it looks like it's black - the same dial in some lights can look very dark ...
but in others - sunlight particularly - it's super chocolatey

Prompted by this thread I bought this from an Ernest Jones sale. I've taken the original strap off and put it on a Marine Nationale style strap that's a shade lighter. The stock strap is much too stiff. I'm sure there's a way to wear it in. Perhaps I'll tape it round a tubular object and warm it up with a hairdryer. But in the meantime I'm very happy with the current arrangement.
Don't know how many Seikos I have now. At least a dozen. Must have an inventory soon.
Another vintage seiko incoming but while I wait for delivery I thought this one should get some wrist time. From October 1976, just like me...
Since many years finally a watch that satisfies me in all belongings. Definitely a watch that will help me reducing my flipping illness. On the way to break my records shortly before mid year. Long time since I bought and sold so few watches in 6 months…

A new arrival...
I thought I might have posted a pic of this watch in this thread already, but it seems I haven't.
I bought two of these from a place in an indoor mall in Covent Garden just before the turn of the century. I gave the other one, with a full lume cream dial, to my girlfriend at the time.
I remember that the last time I wore it was at an interview and I've been in that job nearly ten years now, so I thought it was due a run out. It's an auto, non-hacking with day / date. Has a display back. But not branded as a '5'.
Note that the chapter ring is way out of alignment - Seiko's QC issues are not a new phenomenon.
I was contemplating selling this but the wife saw it today and said she loved it, especially the dial colour. I think this is only the second time she's ever commented on one of my watches, so I guess it stays
Back on the wrist for a few days
I have lusted after one of these for a long time but alway worried about buying a duffer due to the amount of non original ones out there.I was contemplating selling this but the wife saw it today and said she loved it, especially the dial colour.

Yours looks a really nice example with sharp lines on the case. Enjoy what is an all time classic

I have decided to keep this now, so I thought, why not give it a run out.
Been quite some time since I've worn this one, perfect opportunity to bring it out for a charge in the Sun
New to me but obviously not 'new'.
August 1978 Seiko Grand Quartz with the 9943 twin quartz movement (one for timing, one as a thermocompensator, +/- 10spy!) and beautiful snowflake dial.
