Wearing this thoroughly weird JDM 5Actus SS today. It is a 6106-7410, and dates to August, 1969. It has the mother of all "helmet cases" and the 23J version of the 6106...normally reserved for the JDM stuff. I bought it because I have never seen another like it. There isn't even a picture of another on the 'net.

Picked up this 4005 Belle this week: Needs a cleaning but is running and keeping time, mostly. D. Nice early one isn't it? Being date only dial I mean. It is rare, but I don't think too early compared to other Belles. Copied and pasted from the Bell-Matic section of the SCWF: The Bell-Matic was introduced as 4006-7000 model in November 1966 in Japan and at that time was the world's first alarm wristwatch with a CENTRAL ROTOR automatic. November 66 specimens are characterized by their 'dolphin' caseback and a notch in the case for the alarm button. In mid 1967, a special Bell-Matic model was introduced in Seiko's 'Business' watch line, aka the business bell, which was however discontinued again after a few months of production. Due to import tarrifs in the US, the high jewel count of the original 4006A design (27J) was a drawback for exporting to the US. Thus a special calibre 4006A variant with 21J was produced in two case variants (7019 and 7029) specifically for the north american market. A date-only Bell-Matic (calibre 4005A) was introduced in mid 68 and remained in production for approx. 1 year. In mid 1969, a 17J derivative of calibre 4006A was introduced, which was used in almost all Bell-Matic models produced afterwards, with the main exception of the 7011/7012 models, which were most probably JDMs. The Bell-Matic line was discontinued altogether in 1978, but it should be noted that in very rare occasions, some cases from 1979 can be found (which however are believed to be 'repair cases' i. e., they did not leave the factory as a complete watch). This is a post from forum member Hermann - he compiled this information and posted it. The date on my Belle is April '69. Dan.

Started with this nice 7223-6019 Seiko Alarm Quartz (a gift from the ever gracious Noah Riley) - if I felt like poking a stick at someone I would call it a Quartz Bellmatic , but it's Friday and moved on to this one for working on my clients' porch
