Some rubbish shots of my two elder statesmen . . . could anyone please confirm production dates according to the serial numbers for me ? I was under the impression the 6105 was from '68 and the Sportsmatic, forgotten entirely, oops.   Is that a relume or is that stock? NICE look watch. Hey buddy, I hope the little princess and mum are both doing well . . . no man, all original, stock lume, my shitty, grainy photo doesn't do it the justice it deserves, I got it from Barry at a very fair price very early this year . . . to be honest Spence, it doesn't get the wrist action it should, it's the watch that makes a hypocrite out of me. |

Nice watch, beautiful. Not a hypocrite at all - I love my 6105's and even if I wore them 24/7 I'd feel like they weren't getting enough wrist time. She's doing fine - gaining weight, keeping us awake. All the usual stuff. Thanks for asking! |

So this will be my first reply I guess. I'm fairly new to the whole serious watch game. I have a handful of nice looking contemporary quartz Seikos, and two mechanical watches. The first is an Orient Excursionist, but the second watch is the reason I'm posting in this thread. I bought a 1965 Seiko 66-0100 (handwound) on ebay for $25. The watch ran, but the winding was so hard that I thought there was a serious issue with the watch. After coming into contact with him on r/Seiko, I sent the watch to Seikoholic so he could see what was wrong with it. After a new c.rystal, crown, and stem, he says it's ready to come back to me. I'll make a more legitimate thread about it when I get the watch back in my hands (and the fancy new strap I've ordered for it), but I couldn't resist putting one of the pictures he just sent me in this thread. Anyways, sorry for the long intro, but here it is:  |

It is one seriously elegant watch - what a beauty. Thanks to Jonathan Koch as well for his sleuthing and detective work on being able to source the crystal for this - this model isn't even in the catalogs. It's definitely real - the 66B movement is chugging along very nicely. Dial code matches the case back. The real deal.  |

This is my oldest watch. It is a bit rough but I am so impressed with it. The service history is unknown so as soon as I have the extra coin off to my watchmakers for a good scrub down.  |

While going through old newspaper ads to try and find my watch, I found an ad for the 1964 World Time that was previously posted:  A 6105:  Misc '60s watches:  |

My oldest watch is a Swiss Made Olma Incabloc - Sea Cup 17-Jewel this watch was handed down to me , it was purchased in the late 1950's & has been in storage since 1975 . I only just got it out of its 38 year's in storage & once I wound it up , it fired up immediately & keeps excellent time accuracy .  |

This is my oldest - Citizen's first wrist watch movement, dates from between 1931 and 1936. The movement is actually a Swiss kit, called the 'Premier'. Citizen later used better Swiss Mido movements before they started to make their own:   Stephen |

This Elgin from the early twentieth century is the oldest I own. It belonged to my great grandfather. Jack and crew at IWW serviced the movement for me.   Myles |

Omega from 1939... This was my grandfather's retirement watch. Is she running Pete? Just barely. The hairspring is a bit out of shape and on of the regulator pins has been broken off. It obviously keep lousy time. It will likely get a spa treatment one day(when I win the lottery) but until then, it just waits. |
