Introducing another vintage Seiko for the watch box. My Seiko 5 Actus SS 6106-7690, made in September of 1973.

The JDM only Seiko 5 Actus line up wasn't initially on my radar, but I reconsidered when I learned of this reference. For whatever reason I grew a lit...

New (to me) Watch Alert! Seiko 5 Sports Speed-Timer 7017-6010, made in February of 1971.

This is a watch I've been looking forward to getting in my hands and the wait was well worth it. While the Suwa 6139/6138 chronographs are well known...

Totally. I feel like I regularly discover vintage Seikos with dials that I absolutely must have.

Thanks! The dial on yours is beautiful as well. A faceted crystal would definitely look interesting over top it.

commented on To those of you who own a watch with a black coating over the steel, how do you feel about your purchase now? ·

I have a PVD coated Seiko chronograph from the 80's. I actually really like the distressed look it has now with the black finish having faded or been scratched up here and there. It gives the watch a nice rugged quality. It's probably not the kind of appearance you'd want for a dress watch, but for a tool watch like this I think it works.

Yes! They're so cool! I quite like how it looks on a leather rally strap.

I'd recommend looking at a Spyderco Paramilitary 2 or a Paramilitary 3 depending on your size preferences.

Most of the time I prefer to wear a watch with a date complication and most of my watches have them, but I don't really need it. There's something to be said for the uncluttered look of a watch that simply tells you what time it is.

Perhaps my favorite thing about the Seiko 5 line up is that they've appeared in so many different styles over the decades. My humble 6119-7400 from th...
