Vintage seiko? or anything before the 1990?
« on: September 18, 2012, 09:15:02 AM »
I'm interested to see more of those seiko make in the 60s, 70s and 80s. I find them interesting, robust and better build than most swiss brand.

Am I wrong?

Maybe you all have something to share, a photo or two, some own experience ...

Let's see if we all can get something out of this.

Regards
Tyler

I love seiko automatic chronograph in the 70s - 6138, 6139, 7017 and 7016...
I once collected more than 10 pieces... Mostly 6138 n 6139!

However I'm too late into this, most good condition been grabbed by collector around the world and price is Sky rocketing nowadays!

Now still own this 7016, such a beauty, love it's mechanism, chrono counter both 30mins n 12 hours at 6... This make the dial so clean... I wish I can find other variants of this... The blue m yellow dial, another with different case...
Recently also read a Swiss brand actually bought this movement and make Their watches that time



If I can bump into a good condition all original
bullhead
UFO
Calculator
I think I will still pull the trigger if price is right!

Yikes!

Here comes the assault. That's quite an collection, Chris.

U don't miss it?  ???

Why rid of such an impressive collection?

Change of heart or switching to a new direction?

1st roll, last piece on the right is my favorite.  :)

Yeah... Can't look after so many...
Then was thinking only concentrate on mint condition vintage...
I actually quite regret selling the hold Color dial 6139

The blue bezel it's just like seiko bullhead
It's not that really rare... Just that a mint one is hard to come by n if it happens the price may sky high....

I paid 5 times the price for the nos of the citizen chrono...

So if I see a seiko vintage chrono nos now I may also pay 5 times for it
