3823-7000 This was displaying the date as the 10th when I put it on this morning. That would suggest that I hadn't worn it since April last year!

This one certainly fits into the category of cheap as chips - it cost me all of £4. I bought it to use as a parts watch for my other Allwyn, but it ran so well when it landed it seemed a shame to break it up. According to the web, Seiko entered into a collaboration with Hyderabad Allwyn in the early 1980s to manufacture mechanical and quartz watches. This one is a hand-winder using an A6300 movement which is very close (if not identical) to the Seiko 63A calibre. So, as with the HMT that pip had on the other day, not everything that comes out of India is a pile of shite!

I completed the assembly of this spare movement a few days ago. While the case is usable one lug hole is oversize so I will keep it as a spare movement holder. So I experimented with an 80 grit mop and created a silk finish. The bezel was polished with Autosol.

Spoon today.
My tulips are tulipping.
My brussel sprouts are sprouting.
Planted the seeds Sunday and 6 cups had sprouted when I came home tonight.
