Yeah Seiko makes a great watch for the $$. Mine was modded by Michael Lively of WUS. Its a tribute to the original no radiation logo BP from the 50s…. but with Seiko monster hands. If you see a modded Seiko for a good price don’t hesitate, they generally go fast.
Just thought I’d BUMP this thread for the other watch guys with this Costco deal I saw a week or so ago…
I have a couple watches, many I have broke over the years. : (
But my main watch is the one I’ve been wearing every day for years, it’s an old Soviet 1960’s Vostok. It’s my favorite watch I’ve ever had, it’s only had to be tuned up twice in it’s lifetime so far.
I love it’s ridiculous simplicity, it only has two modes, wind and set. I figure it’s been going for almost 50 years it’s gotta be good. Never have to change the battery.
Had it about three years. I need something to tell 24 hour time, for work and I wanted to still see a regular clock face. Much more accurate and dependable than the timex watches I always used to buy. Bought it cheap on ebay.
I don’t take care of watches, so I needed one to take care of me, even if I wasn’t nice to it.
It is a heavy watch, but I don’t even notice any more.
Its been a hectic 2 weeks, were all moved and our new place has a pool. Went swimming with the kids today and got to test a new water-resistant camera bag. Just some cell phone pics for now.
The photo on the left is professionally done, and is copied from Amazon.com.
The photo on the right is not-so-professional. It was taken by an ancient 1.3 megapixels Canon PowerShot A10, in low-light with the flash on. (My family's much nicer digital camera was not available.)
That must make it tough to keep the crystal from scratching as well as making it damned near impossible to play the piano well. Might I suggest wearing it on your wrist? ;) :p :bigsmile:
