Lol... Me forum lurker... Always came in to admire the watches but never had time to share my shots. Just thought this would be a good time.

One of my favorites...the Pelagos. Perhaps one of the best engineered watch in terms of finishing and value.

Yes I'm a big fan of the vintage seikos as well. Happy for you to have gotten the piece, looks good condition too!

Been trying my luck to get the same model for a while, but no go so far. More love for the 7a38/7a28!

Thanks for the replies guys, yeah I know generally the speedy pro's are more reverred and all, I appreciate the history and provenance as well. However the winning point for me for the reduced is it's smaller case diameter, I have pretty small wrists and imo the moonwatch would look a bit too big on the wrists. Also my budget is slightly tighter,thus I feel that for the price it would make a great gateway watch into the "luxury" watch world

if you're looking for a slight variation there are other vintage speedies fromt he 70's to check out. in this pic you can see the pro (right) versus the mk 2/3/4 (bottom to top) with a more small-wrist-friendly case design:

you can still find good bargains, but has been interest picking up here in SG for these. a few years back it'd would be easy to find these for around SGD1.5K, a lot more lately.

Omega for chu er !

Is this the PO? Looks a bit strange to me. The dial and the numbers on the bezel look off. Maybe due to angle of the shot ?

Superseded by the blue dial sea dweller

Feel like getting a vintage mk2. How much can it cost now?

For those who were not aware JLC impressed many (as usual?) at the recent SIHH 2015. I found this summary to be good...sharing with u guys.

For me the black Master Control date and the ultra thin date in SS might just make me step into my 1st JLC...something I always wanted to but could not put my finger on one. I might just this time.
