| this is a great model with auto/handwinding/hacking and 28,800bph. The crystal is faceted and watch has a gold plated bezel. About 37mm to crown. These models were made in the Daini factory, not Suwa factory in Japan. When I had found it used in a store, the wife bought it as my Xmas present! what a gal! | |

Just leaves more SS for the rest of us. Can't really bring myself to wear gold watches - did 25 years ago but not these days. Still appreciate a vintage gold watch in great shape though. |

Seiko SUS model Perpetual with great iridescent blue dial and the only diver model in the SUS line. I call it my Rolex Explorer homage haha! In 1992 to 2000, Seiko introduced their SUS line to the youth of the day, who were weaned on digital watches. The engineers had specific design parameters for this SUS line: the hands must be first to be seen, then the dial and lastly the bezel. So, all SUS watches had bare bezels. The hands were distinctive with the blunt square ends and the date was at the 4 position. All models were midsized..... | |

| Thian..Both of these are models I haven't seen before ! The first one looks brand new, it's in tremendous shape. I like those markers on the first one with the dual level look..EXCELLENT ! It has an immaculate dial, along with classic case ! The second Seiko has a fantastic dial,and the bezel is perfect with that clean industrial liketheme ! Also the 12 and 6 markers are a nice touch, asis the brushed finish on the watch ! Thanks for showingus these !____________________________________ | |

| Here is a nice rescued 1996 Seiko Sport 100 two tone. A fellow in the Netherlands got it in a lot buy he had purchased. The stem/crown had corroded and broke off. He kindly gave it to me. So, I sent it to a buddy in Vancouver Canada who managed to find a make-do stem and crown, replaced the old original capacitor which did not hold a charge, and cleaned under the bezel. This model has a presentation back too! Unusual! Just had the bracelet resized today....nice and blingy! hahaha! | |

| THIS is excellent Thian ! Thanks for showing these too..They are new to me ! Look at that bezel..WOW ! VERY bold and the theme continues into the bracelet. At the same time it's really elegant also, especially with the markers, hands, and that circle accent on the dial ! Two thumbs up ! ____________________________________ | |
