^^^ Wow, that's a stunner. Not common to see these in good condition nowadays.
Postman delivered this today made in April 1979 and bought from the original owner.
It will be getting a clean shortly as it’s a bit dirty and the bezel is currently stuck but I just love the dial colour.
Cheers

My 4th 7548 pepsi. Fully original & happy to find one in this condition (42yrs and ticking)...
My vintage cool Seiko 'Bruce Lee'
Although I don't think I can pull off the metal rally bracelet like he could!

Probably more suited for the ‘watches in the sunshine’ thread but thought I’d share one of my current favourites While the sun was in fact shining....
Thanks

A couple of classics, modern and vintage.
A set of Tuna's including an SBDY041 TST mod. A modern day "ultimate Tuna".

Those are some wicked tuna!
Here’s one of my many Seikos. Need to get a replacement battery for this one.
Sun045p1 for today.

I just dug up my well-worn Spork a few days ago, had nearly forgotten how much I like this one. Overdue for a re-issue IMO.

I wore mine a couple of days last week. The 001 is the best looking version IMO. Something about the bezel, the domed crystal and vintage looking lume. It looks good on any strap but the bracelet it’s my favourite. (Chocolate bar rubber 2nd) it’s almost the perfect dive watch.
I’m well done the vintage Seiko LM, KS, GS rabbit hole at the moment.
Down to just one Seiko now but it’s a gooden.

This beauty arrived this morning.
Bracelet is nice, but isn’t the original and doesn’t suit the watch, so I’ll be looking for a replacement.
Just wearing ti see what sort of time it’s keeping.
^^^ Interesting patina there.
Going to leave it as is or might you try and clean it? (I'm not sure if cleaning it would actually be possible but I do wonder sometimes).
I think that watch would look good on a decent leather strap or perhaps a mesh bracelet/strap.
It doesn’t look as bad/yellow in real life. I’m tempted to try to clean it up but I’m not sure where to even start. I’ll have to do some research.
I have a few spare Seiko straps that I might try on it. I’ve been having a look online to try to work out what the original bracelet would have looked like.
Wearing it again today to give it a run out. Seems to be keeping pretty good time.
I would not clean it.
That patina is what makes it special...hence the name "KS Special" :)
that sarg009 is just the nuts , a design that’s coherent and works perfectly with form following function
