    Some vintage Japanese watches I picked up the other day.

    Met up with a watchy pal of mine who brings stuff to my house and bought this little parcel.

    I love a vintage Seiko and the Ricoh is pretty '70's saucy too!

    Ricoh is a Spacer II with a faceted glass.

    Oval Seiko is a colourful 6119 - 5411 with integral bracelet - and it fits me!

    The Daini automatic is a nice chunky 7625 - 8033

    Lastly a cute boys 66 - 7970 that I will give to my Grandson.

    By the way I am getting ambiguous results on the year dater and the boy's Seiko looks older than they reckon.
    The serial is 241724.

    Anybody know?

    The width (the largest part of the oval) is 40mm. Crown is recessed.

    Cheers John.

    It's a great looking watch but unfortunately the faceted crystal doesn't show up too well in the pic.

    I actually belong to the SCWF but it's now so dead over there I doubt I'd get any reply.

    Nice pickups Neil. That Ricoh is a smasher.
    Best Regards - Peter

    I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.

    Not unless you ask yet another question about the authenticity of a 6139 or 6105, then every man and his dog chimes in.

    I just rejoined after a long absence and sadly found the place almost deserted.

    I don't know what happened in the interim.

    It does have a whiff of the Dynamic about John, you're right.

    Like you, I never tire of looking at and preferably buying nice old vintage stuff.

    Yes, anything with mustard yellow/ brown combination shouts '70's.
