Hi Seiko Friends and Freaks I am a watch lover and mostly like mechanical vintage watches, especially chronographs, but I like other watches too. I am collecting since more than 10 years now, mostly "Swiss Made" watches but I do own a few watches from Japan: A steel Seiko 8F32-0220 A4 Quartz with Perpetual Calendar, SKX013-K2 Automatic Diver, a 1974' 7015-7020 Chrono, a 72' Seiko Bell-Matic, a Citizen NY2300-09eb Diver and the Casio DBC-611-DF (OK, this was made in China). For some reason (don't know why) I am strongly in love with the old 6138/ 39 chronos. I had a nice 71' JDM 6138-0011 Ufo, but this watch was too big for my wrist, so I sold it. Now I am looking for a smaller chronograph with a tachymeter, like the Pogue or Coke... I am here to look, read and learn from the professional Seikoholics Best Greetings from Switzerland, Orion

Welcome Orion ! I like your picture of 'The Doc' and wish you luck on your hunt for the right chronogrpah. Have you considered the Seiko Mono-pusher? They are a bit smaller (I have a 5717-8990 but there are others). I agree with dapellegrini that you will probably really like the 8110 movement Citizen as they are smaller than the Seikos and have all the functionality plus some real design flair. Here's mine, a 4-901096-K with the more rare green dial. dapellegrini found it for me Forgive it's shabby exterior, it's not yet been serviced. It will look a lot better with the new crystal I have waiting for it.

Good morning And thanks for your respondings, Citizen is pretty unknwown to me, somehow it didn't hit my taste, or they are so uncommon to see, that I didn't recognised them? Now I will take a closer look. The Bullhead looks cool!! Thanks for the picture. I am using the "Doc" Avatar since more than 10 years now, I have no idear where I found it, but it feels like my own picture to me now. Wish I could ask the creator for his permission to use it... I tried to put a picture inside my thread but its to big... need more time to find out. Now coffee and go to work. Have a nice day ☺️
