Vintage Tuesday

Rocking my grandad’s 80s Seiko Ana-digi. The lcd screen bled a long time ago. It still alarms when he would head home from work every day at 5:27 pm. He’s 84 this year and marvels at the fact that I love his old work watch!

Surely there is a way to turn of the alarm blind should one so desire. So basically all the digital toys are inaccessible but the main event of time is still there?

Exactly. I believe it should also have a date function in there somewhere!

Those were popular, and one used to see them often. Once in a while I see one out in the wild, a little beat up but still serving.

Sounds awesome! I would not try to fix it, nor would I try to disable the alarm. Let it roll, as is. It's not about the watch, it's about the father and son connection, a family legacy, a shared love of the horological. 😎 Cheers! 🍻

P.S. What watch does he wear, currently? Whatever it is, you should get one of the same model (maybe a different color, if ya like) so you can pull off the father-and-son-matchy-matchy thing! 🤣 My son and I do that; whenever he wears his Casio Arnie, I wear my Casio Duro. Whenever he wears his Invicta Pro-Diver, I wear my Invicta Sub-Aqua. 😎 It's a lot of fun to share my love of watches with him. 😀

He has a basic Seiko solar watch. Nice steel grey dial. His watches are tools and he gets amused by my reverence for his old pieces
