Hi All, Following up on my intro post on the new members board, i thought i'd post some shots of the fledgling collection. It's by no means investment grade, more of a collection for interests sake. With the exception of the 6138, all are in need of a service and i'll be working my way through them. So, in order of preference: 1. 6138-0020, Non original band, Father's Watch, KVW serviced!  2. Seiko Bell-matic 4006-7020, non original band (eBay). Running, but still to determine extent of service required  |

3. Seiko Sportsmatic 7625-8223, Non original band, running -but still to determine extent of service required  4. Seiko H557-500A Sports 100, Non Original Band, not running but bought because of sentimental value (another model worn by my father). To be repaired  |

Hello greyhound, collecting for interest's sake is the way to go, you have made a good start there. Servicing the Bellmatic will be good fun if you are going to do it yourself.

Hi All, A slight update to the collection; The 6138-0020 is now sporting an EastTech reproduction Fish-bone bracelet. Although not the bracelet that came with the model originally, it is at least more "period correct" than the cheap strap i had on it previously.  Many thanks to Tom ( SeikoPsycho) for parting with one of his EastTech stock. Cheers |

Ok, some further details on the strap in question. First point to consider, the watch is in "as purchased" condition (has not been cleaned so is very grotty). Here are some shots:   The code on the bracelet tabs appears to be "Z042" Hope this helps. |
