The Watch Thread - Part 7

[arctuates]

Not even the pseudo-quickset feature that old watches used to rely on? Where you wind back to 8 or 10 or whatnot, and then wind forward past 12?

aquadive NOS 77

NOS = new old stock found in a warehouse 70's i.e. original case and anton schild auto movement from 70's found in an old warehouse and restored

(excuse the date - no quickset feature)

thanks except that its black, the AR coating reflection making it look blue.

detailing is excellent on this piece, borrowed pic from the web cause i can't capture it so well:

(black date is the ETA version; mine is white date background red print)

not discreet at all if you asked me, but between the two white is more visually stunning.

The black exp2 here is more discreet I guess.

Bugis... bencoolen ^.^

Look out for a small shop whereby the shop owner is quite old. On shop front you might even find a Tudor Sub
Inside, he has alot of vintage seiko. Some e even like 30-40 yr old liao
