New (to me) Watch Alert! Seiko 5 Sports Speed-Timer 7017-6010, made in February of 1971.
Sometimes the simplest watches have the most irresistible charm.

I got this one from a professional seller based in Turkey, of all places. They've got a pretty nice vintage selection though. I'm impressed with their quality and speed of delivery based on this purchase and I think I'd buy from them again if they were to put anything else up for sale that catches my eye.
Thanks! I got it from a Turkish dealer called Turgay's Watches. They're listings can also be found on Chrono24.
Patience is key with these sorts of things. I've been on the lookout for a good 7017 for at least a couple years before deciding to pounce on this one.
And it does have flyback capability so that helps too! Really neat to see in action.
I've got a couple new additions inbound. I've been wanting to add another vintage Seiko 5 to my collection and I was torn between two that I really liked so I did the only sensible thing and bought them both! I'll post more details when I have them in my hot little hands. One of them should be arriving at my door within the next couple of days.
I have two of Uncle's bracelets and they both use basic friction pins without collars. Those pins can occasionally be very stubborn so I'd advise having a pair of pliers handy to yank the problematic ones out.
