Very classy Pip. I didn't realise this model came with a blue dial (or a gold case). I have a steel one with bracelet for reference, but there may have been several bracelet versions. Adrian confirmed my suspicion that the end links fit a 6138 8020 Panda so if you could find a gold Panda bracelet... (but that might be expensive).

That looks lovely and clean, and looks good on a bracelet too. Mine is on a NATO now which is a bit better than the leather.

That is a beautiful BellMatic Pip !
It deserves a new crystal (325T02ANG0) and a new crown (55M06NA1). Check with Stefan on the WristSushi "Stefan's Seiko Parts Emporium" since you are he are both UK-based.
You can always get a silver ring version of the crystal 325T02ANS0 and switch back in the existing the tension ring you have now for the silver one that would come with it. These are much easier to find.
Congrats !

Thanks HiBeat! Been trying it out today, timekeeping isn't that great. Set it at about 0640 this morning and it lost about 30s up to 2100 tonight. But there again it is 43 and at that age I was starting to feel a bit pony too (but mainly because I'd just become a Dad for the first time!).
Thanks for the headsup about Stefan. Might also need a good service and a spot of regulating. Not sure whether this is one I can tackle myself, will have to scratch my head about that as I don't want to cock this watch up like I have a some of my practice pieces.
