Super pic of a classic seiko!Originally Posted by learningtofly
The only Seiko I have, but it's nice enough to be keeping the U1 off my wrist when I want to wear a tough as old boots watch.
Modified SKX007J.
I had this bead blasted because I didn't like the shininess of the case, and I think it's a much better tool watch for it, particularly when paired with a Timefactors NATO - the brushed steel fittings are a great match for the case.
I don't wear this enough, and when I do I always wonder why that is. It has great presence, is super comfy, lovely clear dial and attracts a lot of comments. For the cost, I can't think of many better tools watches than these.
Some Italian colour...

This last is my most worn, ugliest, most favourite Seiko. It is also the one I have the most compliments for, and the one I have the most outstanding offers to buy. Non-wissers are a funny lot!

Dont think I saw an H357-5040 James Bond anywhere... here's mine pre spa treatment
my 7005-8020 purchased by me new in December 1969 from the shop on board P&O SS Orcades... lume still working - ish...
Just been scavenging round the house, trying to find this. Found it and then realised that it's one of the best-looking and, indeed, best watches I've ever had.
Forgive the double post, but, hey, the watch is worth it.
My actual Seiko, but, actually, Cannop's photograph.

Wow Tinker, that indeed is an impressive shot. This thread is making me feel like a kid in a candy store...

New member here! Here's my most recent arrival, a well-worn birth year 6309, which I had cleaned and rebrushed by a well esteemed member here:
The lume is something else !
Just arrived from Creation - can't believe how quickly they deliver.
Just in from Snipe (Chris) - as-new Alpinist, quickly installed on a lovely Hirsch Liberty. What a beauty!

Liking that a lot.Sold a similar one a few months back and wanted one back.Luckily I managed to catch this one last week.JDM 7A38-7110
'Similar' being a 7A38-7040, 7A38-704A, B or C (like this) perhaps ?

No nothing like that.It was one of these actually. Still miss it though
Ah Yes - a 7A38-7070. Of course, we've had this conversation before, haven't we ?No nothing like that.It was one of these actually. Still miss it though
There are still plenty about on eBay. It's just a matter of finding a half-decent unmolested example at a reasonable price. Here's one, a comparative bargain picked up by a 7A38 forum member recently - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111342764561
[QUOTE=Seiko7A38;3142186]Ah Yes - a 7A38-7070. Of course, we've had this conversation before, haven't we ?
Really have we ? I dont think so
My apologies - I'm sure we had exchanged PM's about it.* But if we did, I've cleared them out.
I certainly remember that particular 7A38-7070. It was the subject of a 3 page thread on my forum:
http://www.seiko7a38.com/apps/forums...cement-ideas-?
Towards the bottom of the first page, you'll see where Chris Rennie modded it, with a shaved repro' Arnie insert.
*Edit: In hindsight, it may have been Ian (BackwardPoint) I had the PM conversation with.

Bloomin PITA Paul... Why they changed it I'll never know. Given up for now:-)Glad to see Flickr works as well (for you) on TZ-UK as it did on my forum, Brad !
Did you see how that photo of your Precista PRS-17c you posted came out (distorted), before I 'tweaked' it for you ?
Do yourself a favour - get yourself a Photobucket account. I can't even log into either of my Flickr accounts any more.
See you've fixed it now.

Thanks Paul. It did come with the original bracelet, just giving it a run on the NATO as the bracelet requires a good clean. Plus I think it looks pretty good on the NATOGlad to see you found one, Ryan - even if it is on a NATO.

Thanks for the crystal reference, is it an easy job to replace the crystal on one of these ? Is there any chance of polishing / re-finishing the existing mineral one ??
It does have a slight issue with the centre chrono but it seems to work fine when on the wrist (warm) so I am guessing it needs a service / oil.

And SKX009J1 on its own with sapphire crystal, Murphy bezel and faded big pip insert. Wearing a nice presidents bracelet.
