With Samco leather strap.

Only 110,41€ to own a perfection!

Grandfathers 1995 Seiko 5 getting some wrist time. In a typical Seiko 5 fashion, it was never serviced. Runs at +/- 10sec/day, amplitude at 265, and has a rather severe beat error at 2.8

Everyone saw your dial, now let us see the backside! 😏

SPB249J1 on a blue leather Samco strap from AliX. I didn't expect so much from a 6€ strap!

Special issue of Mappin & Webb S3 Campaign made for executives and major shareholders of (then newly created) Holcim company.

​

Usually a black dial, swiss quartz watch in this version loses a M&W logo, black dial, quartz mvmnt, and gets a Holcim logo, silver dial, and ETA 2824-2 Top Grade mvmnt.

For some time Frogman G-Shocks were sold under the name Seaman on markets outside of Japan due to the trademark problems. (e.g. DW-9950WC-2)

... Grows like crazy!

P.S. After 30 years of old Briggs & Stratton this Parkside sounds like a lullaby.

My grandfathers 1995 7009-6000 "Railway Time", my fathers 2005 SNK563J1, and my new SPB249J1.

Some G-Shocks come and go, some stay. I believe that I've found the core collection that is here to stay.

From left to right, top to bottom:

DW-6900B-9, GW-M5610U-1B, GW-9400-1,

GM-2110D-8A, MTG-B2000D-1A, GST-B1000D-3A

I owned (and still own) a few used/old and vintage Seikos, but this is the first new Seiko that I bought.

In love with the dial!

GW-9400. And what's on your wrist this fine morning?

"Turn the watch 180 degrees"... Huh?

Made from carbon, construction site noises and banana flavour!
