u/BeatErrorWatches

Didn't plan to match the colours but suddenly realized that's what happened.

Sometimes I tend to wear one watch for weeks at a time but last week a different one spoke to me every day. Here they are in reverse order!

Most of my collection of working Seiko watches in one shot.

Apart from these there are a few more in working order and quite a few awaiting restoration.

I fell in love with the Seiko Elnix lineup and this particular case reference strikes a perfect chord with me. I got all of them as junk and got up and running again. I'm not sure if I'd be able to pick a favourite!

I think these are all the colours that came with this case.

Back to life and another one for the collection! It's keeping excellent time. I love the Elnix.

At the end of last year intrusive thoughts won and I needed an old clock in my life. My grandparents still have a 1930s Kienzle wall clock which I remember striking each hour when I was a kid (it needs servicing now).

I came across a similarly styled Seikosha wall clock, which I believe is from the 1930s.

I found a fragment of 1933 Seikosha catalog somewhere on the Internet with a similar model - No. 110 in one of the images.

This one was listed as No. 10.

It keeps good time and strikes beautifully!

I love it.

This is the first chronograph that I've serviced. It was flooded with oil and a non runner but nothing was damaged thankfully.

The seconds hand lands 1 second past 12 on reset but, but I don't want to mess with it more for now. I'm happy to have it together and working.

Now I have a real appetite for more chronographs, perhaps something with a minute register since this one only measures the seconds!

Last photo is the "before" state.

Notice how the 6 o'clock dial code print is still on top of the damage. The dial was white originally. I love the way it looks and I think it has aged in an interesting way.
