@abx I really like it. I’m glad I got it. It has some clean lines and sits really neatly on my wrist. Surprised it’s not something that Seiko has done in any of their quartz or auto.

I agree! Really nice to wear and classic Seiko parts throughout. I initially thought about modding it, but it’s far to nice...in cgreat condition too, still japs the blue caseback sticker!
Was yours the one from Mount Drouit? If so I thought about it... I got mine about a month ago in a lot of 5 with a ridiculously low BIN! Also had a 0634 digi that I’ll restore at some point...

Still Friday, if barely. Had a potentially reckless afternoon ya'll, couldn't wait until amazon delivers the polishing gear. Stole the crystal off my 6139-6002 blue dial. Just had to see this new guy in all his glory. Also fiddled around with a case swap of an old 7546-818F into a turtle case. Kinda digging the quartz field turtle, but more of that in the WRUW tomorrow post im sure Attachment Deleted

I got that one and asked the seller if it was the one in the bulk lot that you’ve seemed to have scored. I got the auction before you with the ?7n36 diver from the same seller and kicked myself for missing that one. I thought the one you got may have had a 7546 movement in it. Hence why I bought this one. Not sure if I will keep it yet. It is nice but I have a nice smaller quartz sport dive.
