Hello everybody!
good to see that there is a specific area for the clocks, another great passion of mine.
Nowadays, I only use occasionally some of my "oldies", but until some time ago, I even did a review of some movements, as you will see below.
I'm a big fan of the Seiko brand and taste mainly of automatic chronographs, from the decade of 60/70. I like also the line 6119, for simplicity, good function and strength of movement.
I'll put some pictures of my watches, with appropriate explanations, as well as some "before and after." Hope you enjoy!
Seiko 6119-8470. He belonged to the grandfather of my wife's. Circa 1970...
... After reformed. I even reviewed the movement and the case was sent for polishing, along with the replacement of the glass. I love this watch!
I do not recall the model or movement of this watch. It was bought at a flea market and I did a review of the movement. The case I send to polishing and the glass, replaced. The movement was very good, with the exception of a backlash in the bearing of the rotor, which is normal in this movement.
I gave this watch to my father in 2006 and it is working fine until today.
Very nice watch!
And, finally, two watches that I never had the courage to open. His movements are a real nightmare for the review!
Seiko 6138-0040. Circa 1974. Seiko Bullhead for friends, with original bracelet.
Seiko 6138-0011. Circa 1975. Seiko Ovni for friends, with original bracelet!
Cheers,
Peter
