My EL-330 electro mechanical watch from April 1972......
Thanks Jase - (apart from an SKX007), I'm new to Seiko, in fact one of the benefits of new Rolex Subs not being available is that you look elsewhere and the MM300's, the original 001 and 017 models, are as well built as the Rolex SS Subs, they are different to wear but equally as satisfying ........ in a way I prefer them

against colours just vary - taking (good) images of watches is just difficult
thanks to the Forum

What is this "stop" word of which you speak?

There are 10 ten in one hundred
but buying inexpensive Seiko's - there are 4 x £250 in £1,000
if you get my meaning
(I have just bought 3 x 6309's - and could easily buy another - maybe I should name it "the Seiko disease - I had the same problem with camera equipment up to a few years ago)
While running errands earlier. Second MM300 but the first time I've ever worn one on the bracelet.
Lol, I've been there so many times. Always start to think I cant justify an expensive watch when I have one, sell it, and end up spending as much on a small selection. Sell those, buy an expensive one. Rinse and repeat.
As I'm getting older though it's definitely nicer not to worry about losing, damaging or getting mugged for an expensive watch.

Just ordered a new bracelet for this - so thought I’d try it on the lumpy that I already have.
Not bad actually. It’s become my favourite mod...

Excuse my ignorance, but what’s the model of this one? It’s a beautiful colour combination.

Bought this yesterday.
So chuffed I started a thread on it.
Unbelievable value for money.
Absolutely love the dial.
In fact I love all of it.

Found these two old soldiers in a box yesterday.
My late Dad bought the left hand one new in 1979 and the right hand one was bought by me new in 1981.
Put new batteries in them (surprisingly two different battery types) and they both fired up straight away.
Reminders of time gone by.
Cheers,
Neil.
Thanks James - I got that "pulling the crown out" bit to adjust the two sub hands - the chrono hand, (is that what you call it), is just a shade off - not sure how to adjust that, it it a matter of taking the hand off and repositioning it - the three hands "zero" OK when ending the stop watch function
The watch is in really good nick - I have the original bracelet, just doing a little work on it, (mainly a good clean)
photos show every little mark, no matter how small.

The unbeatable 007
the more you consider the "simple" design the more you realise how good it is - a £200 watch on Jubilee bracelet - simply a bargain
This is the last of three that I have had, now definitely a "keeper"
First of my Seiko collection on the wrist in 2020
The shade of blue is spot on to me. It's stunning. The timekeeping is now more like chronometer specifications rather the quoted figure of +15 to - 10 a day. It's running at +2 seconds. Other owners are experiencing the same.
I'll take better photos in better light and with a blue waffle strap fitted, soon.

Seiko SRPC44 "Golden Turtle" on a Watchgecko sailcloth strap.

That blue looks really nice. As usual with Seiko you need real world owner photos to get a good idea of what it really looks like so I appreciate the pictures. Natural light shots would be great. Very nice watch indeed and no doubt the first on the forum.
A couple of 7's
7548-700B and a 7002-700A, this one was bought off the Forum last week and I believe that it should have a Pepsi insert like the 7548
Quick desk shot
just too many Seiko's - maybe collect one for each year, they are all date coded

6309-7040 with parts taken from a 7548-700B, including the quartz movement. Call it an old school version of the SRP PADI... I couldn't really find a place for it in my collection in the end, so it's currently for sale.
This isn't mine (photo taken from internet) but I think this looks fantastic, I see Dave has one - must resist!
