Seiko 6349-8000 which was a 'dead stock' watch out of Japan. I've seen this dial across a number of similar watches and really like it. It's got a 'divers' vibe to it don't you think? This one has a bit of that sun-burnt blush to it that suggests it was in a store window display for some time. I wonder how many people passed it by before it came to me? Looks like a June of 1985 vintage by serial number.

Today's Seiko famous quote of the day: "It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link in the chain of destiny can be handled at a time." Winston Churchill I better wear this one before Daylight Saving time hits and I can't wear it til the correct time comes back around sort of like a broken watch is right twice a day

Oh, didn't realize it was titanium Tuesday - I actually woke up this AM thinking it was Wednesday and rushed to get the rubbish to the curb before the garbage truck arrived, then noticed no one else had theirs out and the penny dropped. But I digress.
Incidentally, I'm currently part of a panel judging some smart watches for an industry organization, including a rather nice titanium model. This isn't it:

Ok pip - that watch is upside down in it's case. What gives? How do we work it? Haha, it is rather different! The time is actually displayed between the bottom lugs. In this image it’s about 12:22 or so. It’s actually much easier to glance at the time without people realising when you are in meetings and such as you don’t have to move your wrist. It’s from Mad Galleries, and is called the MAD1 Red, which most people equate to it being an MB&F (but without the six figure price tag) as it’s from Max Busser (MB&F standing for Max Busser and Friends). Check out insta or wherever to see some other work from them. It’s less watchmaking and more kinetic art. Not everyone’s cup of tea but I love what they do although not cheap.

pip - Hah! Very cool indeed. Much like your wandering hours watch it's nice to see the different. I'm glad I asked for the follow up shot!
victor - I rushed several employees into a meeting this afternoon because of course it's Wednesday today. Oh wait, sorry about that. Back to your desks now.
