I hit up my honey hole and purchased both of these from the same seller for $90 total. Complete with box and tags. A SNK809 and SNE525. I am going to take better pictures and sell them to help finance a new purchase.

Another addition, a cheap little hand winder. Emphasis on little too... Style is cool though, so maybe it will stick around 🤓

This was in the mail until yesterday afternoon. Pulsar Y514-6000. Listed as not running, I was surprised when I took off the back to see it had a 5 jewel movement. Damaged coil, looked like the usual screw driver damage. I swapped it out, new battery and it’s a runnin. Still needs cleaning, but interesting little watch. Appears to use the same hands and crown/stem as the 7548

These old Pulsar divers are excellent! Yours looks great! Yeah, they are. I tend to buy pulsar Y51x watches to scavenge the coils and other parts to fix Seiko 754x series watches, but this one turned out to be interesting enough that I’ll keep it intact.

Things that my wife will begin to accept when she realizes what kind of dough they'll turn into.

I’m surprised that Seiko never produced anything like this in its full sized range. Here’s my pulsar 51x

I found a new honey hole for G-Shocks and it goes to a good cause. It's "Good Will" which is a charity organization in the States for those who don't know. They have an online auction site like eBay and the Good Will stores around the country can post items for sale.
I landed a large lot of Casios, all of which I will clean and resell but keep the one I wanted. A vintage, original G-Shock "3 Eyed" from 1990 that should clean up beautifully. Can't find a new bezel for this anywhere.

Yeah...I should probably seek treatment for the watch addiction.

A '70 6119-8163. Seller says it runs a few seconds then stops, and the crown is stuck. I can also see the bezel is misaligned. We'll see.
