So you think Seiko makes awesome Orange dial

[acidstain]

But can they match this orange bezel? I haven’t opened the watch yet but i saw pictures on the net and it looks like it has a seiko movement inside. I believe this is model 1002-W100 . I don’t have the right bracelet for it but i should have a similar Seiko h link i can fit on it. Then maybe find a wittnauer clasp to fit.

I would say that's very cool, but with orange like that I guess it has to be hot! Very nice.

I found it in a junk box hidden in the back storage room. It’s probably sat there for many years. I gave it a good shake, set the time against my Tuna. So far it’s been 22 hours, and its about 1 min fast ( didn’t match the seconds hand. I kust matched the minute). I think not bad for something thats almost 50 years old and god knows when it was last serviced.

i'm still hunting a junk box like that!

That's quite a find! "Orange" you glad you discovered it?

I like the proportions of the Seiko better, but still cool.

I did find a couple more items. I found a wittnauer2000-1 in pieces. But all seemed new. I found the movement with a white/cream diala nd yellow hands on a small movement box, then found a bunch of s/s hands on another then i found 2 NOS looking cases (1 s/s and 1 yellow) aling with a few good blue dials. I’ve handed it to my watchmaker to assemble me a s/s blue dialed one. I’m not yet bit by the gold watch bug so i prefer s/s watches. I’ll post a pic when it’s done. The only thing missing was a steel bracelet (but i did have the yellow bracelet) i would either 1. Wear on leather/nato or 2. I have a wittnauer bracelet thats 1mm wide. Maybe i’ll file that down. Or 3. Rhodium plate the yellow bracelet.

Oh and i did find this too. Changed battery and has kept perfect time for 4 days now.

My ORANGE Seiko Doxa  6309/6306


Same watch different bezels, yep not quite the orange bezel on the Whittnauer, but if you want orange.

[acidstain]

That’s a nice looking mod! I have parts incoming for a soxa mod myself. Any recommendation on who has a nice orange soxa dial?

Thanks.

Ps. Do you know if the 7002 chapter ring works on a 6309 case?


And here’s my wittnauer 2000-1 missing a correct crystal

[tritto]

That Wittnauer looks suspiciously like this Orient I saw in an antique store cabinet a few weeks ago.

That’s because wittnauer commisioned orient to manufacture this watch for them. So even though it’s branded wittnauer, you could say it’s an orient watch.

I honestly couldn't tell you, I've never owned a 7002.

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I wanted to contribute this very orange HASTE-branded JENNY Caribbean 1000. As if it weren't already orange enough, I added a NATO strap with orange stripes.  ;-)
