Hey everyone!
Enjoy watches and I'm getting into hobby watchsmithing. Just purchased my first vintage Seiko and I'm here to learn and hopefully one day contribute. I'm very detailed oriented and enjoy woodworking, repairing small electronics and acquiring new knowledge.

  Don't be shy Jason - show us what you’ve got! I guarantee you won’t have just one vintage Seiko for long  I won't be shy. It hasn't arrived yet. Noob mistake most likely. Bought my first vintage piece on THE auction site from out of country. I did a ton of research in the model, replica dials, replica movements, aftermarket parts etc. Hard to be 100% with looking at bad photos on a phone screen. But it looked good enough for me to go for it. Appears it may be horribly dirty and worn from those pics however. Should I start a thread about it when it arrives? And yes, I'm sure you're right. Just sent a message to someone inquiring of another before this one gets here lol Jason |

Don’t fret if it turns out you’ve picked up a dud - we’ve all been there. Then again, you may have picked up a real gem. There’s a load of experienced folk on here who’ll happily pass on advice and cast a critical eye on things. There’s so many things to consider when buying vintage, and I’m far from an expert. I stick to what I know - and that ain’t a whole lot! |
