very cool, have you seen stevieG's retro LED Japanese watch that has columns of LED's like an abacus ?

 

[roadsternut]

No, but I know what you are talking about. I liked the more classic look, with the splash of colour.

Its a Seiko Advan.

I used to really love the clean, simple design of Seiko's 1st digital watch. Always thought the Kinetics were cool, too.

that's the ones Kyle ... the "pimp" one is my favourite , if I ever get a break from spending all my pocken money on parts to finish my car I'll get one - used to have a seiko kinetic which was really nice but it took some getting used to with the balance wheel whirring away every time you moved your hand :?

My old 7A38. Bought it new in '85 and wore it every day until 2009 when I finally replaced it due to it's tattered looks. I still have it, but it's more of a momento.

The replacement watch. An early '70s 6309 diver in a comfort fit case. These usually have a thick black diver style band. I've got a reproduction oyster style band with a Seiko safety catch on it.

One I'd like to find. A silver A828.

I'm into watches lately but my wallet prevents me from owning what I'd really like (champagne taste, beer budget) so I wear Seiko watches because I think they're cool and they're affordable. My daily is a 7T92-OCFO but it's dirty and the buttons are sticking and I've got a scratch on the bezel. I'm not fond of the idea of paying a pro $150+ to service what is essentially a $200 watch. Is there an easy way to do this myself at home?

In the meantime, I'm thinking about my next Seiko purchase. Would love an old Tag or maybe a Panerai but I just can't swing it now.
