So nice. I do wish it was a small seconds rather than a date (I assume it’s a date anyway?) but I’d have one in a heartbeat anyway.

It’s a difficult one to capture and I’ve done an especially poor job of it today, but I do love this one.

Meh, I have a blue Pogue in nice shape. Why do I need a spend multiples of the value of a good vintage example on a modern recreation? I feel the same. When I asked some watch nerd friends who are of the opposite view (talking about Swiss stuff though) they talked about warranty periods, availability of OEM parts, service support from the manufacturer, modern/better materials and tolerances, more dependable water resistance and better power reserve. There was probably more that I have forgotten but you get the jist. I still prefer a good vintage though, it has more soul.

I’ve done one, can be fiddly. I used an old write up by Simon siralan that was on here or TOF, but I think it was on here. I have a copy as a pdf so if you can’t find it ping me an email address in the DMs and I will send a copy of it over to you if you like.

By the way, are their any Seiko representatives in these forums? Don't think there are. Nobody has ever poked their head out above the parapet when we have asked before (quite a few times). Let's be honest, us watch geeks are an absolutely tiny tiny proportion of Seiko clients. We've been playing this 'questioning reissues' game for years and they seem to ignore us completely. The odd reissue does come out (think KS for example) and most of us then moan that it's too expensive, so they can't win anyway

How much would the equivalent El Primero be? You are well over $10k there; I was with someone last year when they bought one for £12k which at the time was about $15/16k I guess.

This would have been used as a telephone timer I'm guessing? I know there are Valjoux chrono's with telephone dials, I'm guessing someone wanted their Seiko modded to carry out the same job. Interesting piece in any case.

Just for the record. Do not try to rinse the rotor/coil assembly on this movement in any solvent. It will dissolve the white material in it instantly (behaves like rodico under any solvent) and render the rotor useless. It sounds like you learned that the hard way, ouch!
