1968 king seiko with a 4502 hand wound movement. Oldest watch in the collection.
Has had a movement and case service and a NOS crystal put in about 2 years back. Only giveaway of its age is the dial lacquer discolouration. 36,000bhp movement - one of the 6 digit serials from the chronometer production line. 7 day average is -1s/day. Not bad for a 52 year old watch! On a nomos shell cordovan strap.

I really like the SBBN015 crystal and handset, the depth of dial, the rehaut and of course the movement. A classic all round. For a watch that is designed like a tank it has some great quirks in the finish. For example the polished (very short) lugs, against the brushed steel of the tuna can. Also back when they made this Seiko knew how to make a case back and sign a crown (in pointlessly gothic script, to wit).
I generally wear it on an OEM strap for one of the higher end tunas. Extremely pliable and comfortable and has worn well over the 10 or so years I've had the watch.

Great to see another tuna, let alone a 015! I've had mine about 5 years now.
They really did go over the top with odd little details on what's a "tool watch". The day disc is white, but the date disc is silver....why?!?! Nice touch either way. Takes straps well, but the OEM bracelet is the way to go I think.
Squale 60 atmos today. Not a great pic, and think it would look better on a plain black strap. Am I right in saying this used to belong to someone here?

Yes you're right. Was on adverts earlier this year iirc, from one of the regulars in here, Thelizardking1. Beautiful watch, I made an offer on it myself, pretty close to his asking price, but he wanted the full whack and I'm sure he got it
Was that you who outbid me? My ads on adverts.ie

I think I bought it off the guy who got it from thelizardking1, if it didn't change hands even more times between that sale and when I got it! Great watch, but definitely the opposite of discrete and understated. Doesn't get a lot of wrist time.CarProblem wrote: »
Maybe I'm out of touch, but I wouldn't pay more than 500 for a really nice one with a tidy case and dial. Even that's a bit steep. The automatics tend to fetch higher prices. I think for closer to a grand you'd be able to get something a bit more unique like a KS special chronometer or a vintage GS.

Probably need to factor in cost of a service also
The caseback isn't original to that watch, and there seems to be a bit of corrosion on the edge of the dial. No pics of the movement either so I'd personally pass, but as with everything on ebay it's a bit of a gamble (got my KS on ebay though). Has the original buckle which is a nice touch, as these tend to go for 50-100 on their own.0 -
Onkepop, '68 King Seiko.
A Beauty, what size ?.
Great to have a recent service. A second a day is amazing. I've a newish doxa on, that's running at +10 today, hoping it'll settle down if I wear it.
I picked up a July 68 serviced Seikomatic P for my brother's 50th birthday. He was thrilled and it's his daily wear. He has had people ask about it. It's styling is business like but with an unusual texture on the bezel. If I can find a photo I'll drop it in here.

Indeed, nothing says Christmas like a ropey commemorative piece for an invasion.

About 36.5mm. That seikomatic looks great, interesting bezel!
69 bellmatic today. Gold plated case with a grey linen dial, which can be hard to photograph. Think this would've come on a gold coffin bracelet, but I've never seen a gold one come up - only plain steel.
