I am coming to Oz and going to follow you around whistling an annoying tune, until you give me a watch, then I will go home happy.😂

G'day Paul I think "Zippity Doo Dah" would do it.😅🤣😅🤣
My old man had a Bell-Matic circa 75 mate brought it back from Singapore a big deal back then. Wish I could find out what happened to it 👍
Keep looking Tony it's there somewhere.😉 👍😃
If that's not still in production they should bring it back it would make a killing 🤑

I have a soft spot for the Bellmatic. My father-in-law had a 1972 he bought from a peddler in Japan. He was with the Secret Service and guarding airport access to Air Force One at the time. Used the Bellmatic alarm to ensure he was always on time for round-the-clock shifts.
At dinner after my son’s college graduation (in 2017) he said, “I didn’t get you anything so I guess I’ll give you this,” took it off and handed it to my son.
We’d had it serviced for my father-in-law a few years earlier and it was tough finding someone who’d work on a Bellmatic movement as I believe it has two barrels, an extra spring to run the alarm. It’s beat up and the bracelet is crazy worn but amazing heirloom for my son.

Great story Neil, I'd take the bracelet off and store it. Then fit a really nice leather strap and it'll last you son forever.👍👍😉😃

Good suggestion. Fortunately, my son isn’t that into wearing it, so think it’s safe for the time being. But I will consider a very nice strap for the future. Thanks!
There’s always another stunning Seiko to get next! Beautiful watch!
Such a beautiful classic!
Nice one Varun👍😉
