Hello Wrist-Sushi members - I'm looking forward to getting to know you and learning more about Japanese watches.
My name is Dan and I'm a long time collector of vintage watches from Colorado, USA, but I only recently purchased my first non-Swiss watch, the fine 62mas pictured below (assuming I am able to post photos). This came about because a collector-friend was letting-go some divers, and he offered me the Seiko along with some others. It caught my eye because of its condition, but after doing some research, I began to understand its historical importance, and decided that I really needed to have it in my collection. This started me looking at some other vintage Seiko pieces, including early Grand Seikos and 6139-600X chronographs, and ultimately I decided that I should connect with Japanese watch enthusiasts (I am active on other watch forums, and really appreciate these communities).
I will say a few words about my collection, but those not interested in Swiss watches can stop reading here...
A big chunk of it consists of hand-winding column wheel chronographs and interesting vintage sport watches. I have a small military sub-collection and some miscellaneous dress watches. The collection is very eclectic in terms of brands, although I do have a particular interest in vintage Rolex, Omega, IWC, and Zenith.
As promised, photos of my only Japanese watch ... so far.
