Hi all, I wanted to join this forum after seeing the wealth of posts here about vintage Seiko. Bought my first seiko (a 7S26-02K0) about 10 years ago and loved its durability (other than a small chip in the crystal from smashing it against something it still works great), and then decided to pick up a few vintage seikos up off of ebay after doing a little bit of research. A few months ago I got a nice 6117-6410 Navigator Timer (before realizing it's missing the bezel ring! Anyone know where to get one?). I then got an Olympic Flame 6217-7000 World Time and a 6218-8971 Seikomatic Weekdater. After purchasing a Pogue as a christmas gift, I'm on the lookout for a chrono or two, probably another Pogue or a UFO. Hope to learn a lot here! -Chris

I sure hope that Weekdater, isn't from '66.

Love that Weekdater too. You'll find that Tim (still being a youngster ) likes stuff from '66 !

Welcome to the forum. Friendly bunch here. The Seikomatic's real nice. Nice watches all round in fact. You could try Stefan for a bezel for the navigator. His details are on the home page of this forum. Stefans Emporium or some thing snazzy like that. Enjoy! Tony

Thanks for the advice, i'll be sure to message him, it bugs me looking at it knowing its missing!
