Another fixer-upper on the way
Looks very nice under that scratched up crystal. I assume that with your collection of skin divers you must have a bezel on hand? I have a pretty good collection of bezels. Even if what I have doesn't work I still had to get it. The parts will pop up eventually.

I think this 1995 Seiko 7002 was worth US$83, don't you? I already have a couple of these, in perhaps better condition, but I really love these dress 7002's, so I couldn't let it go to someone else too cheaply, right? Right? With a day left it was at 2 dollars or so, and I tried one of my lucky number bids, like 8888 yen, you see? I got an email this (Saturday) morning, I won for US$83. I do very much like the simple styling of these, the numerals, the adequate lume and the "ice cream cone" hour markers!! Not to mention they run on a 7002 movement and have a model code that ends in -8000!! Woohoo! - Thomas .

Woohoo! 3 for 3 at Seiko auctions this morning! :party: ************************************************************ ************************************************************ I have been fooling around with my Seiko Speedmaster 7T52-8000, and auction browsing this morning I noticed another Seiko SpeedMaster, one I had never seen! The 1981 Seiko "Dancing Hands" Speed Master 6M26-6010! Cost me "good money" at US$140, but then I have always wanted a 6M26. And look, it says Speed Master right on the dial! ************************************************************ ************************************************************ This bargain caught my eye, even though it is in rough condition and "dirty". A sporty look, yet simple and classic. Combining dressy dial elements with a diver watch case and 4 o'clock crown. With the useful and desirable 6306 movement, a model code that ends in -8000 and a well-fitted bracelet. This is a 1978 Seiko SilverWave 6306-8000, that the internets allowed me to buy for US$119! ************************************************************ ************************************************************ And about half an hour later, perhaps the best bargain yet, this elegant early Seiko hand-wind, from the 1960's, this Seiko Champion running a 17 jewel Seikosha movement in a J14106 case. 93 US dollars! The strap even looks wearable. A silver Champion can be hard to find, especially in this good condition. And in my experience the 55-year old movement will work fine! ************************************************************ ************************************************************ Well, that was a nice run this morning. Not too hectic, but not stretched out over hours either. All in it seems like US$350 well spent, in my opinion, for watches ranging from unusual through to classic. - Thomas .

Bought this knowing it don't work. For just over £40 with postage it's worth getting taking into account of repair/service.

Probably not on many radars, but this was a significant model in its day. The Parawater Deluxe - the first Japanese waterproof watch. This one, with 23 jewels, is the higher jewelled model. They (the first models) crop up from time to time, but are often expensive and/or in less than great condition. This one isn’t perfect, but wasn’t overpriced either.

Yes, that is very interesting. Keep us up to speed on how it works out.

Won this one for a decent price. SKX173 on a flat vent. Given the price I paid for it and how much I like my 007, I think I did alright.

I can now officially say these are in the mail, coming back from their vacation spa across the pond.

This just arrived in the post from Israel (so I’m hoping the inside is nice and dry!). Manual set of hands feels very smooth, got my fingers crossed for the rest of it.

I have a affinity for the 7123's, so this one really caught my attention with a hard look at the incorrect bracelet. Sold...heh heh. Will be on one of my speedy's soon.
