Seiko vintage quartz is so underrated. Those 70 and 80s pieces were beautifully built, jeweled and ahead of their time.

Coffee dial variant of the 4006-6021 (1971). First watch given to me in the mid-70s. Did not wear it for 43 years. Got a service and it now ticks along beautifully!

I have a Bambino with champagne dial. Great watch. On the time grapher it displays 0 sec deviation after two years. Incredible.

If a watch has the pedigree and proof of being a standard within a conflict zone, then it's legit. From G-Shock to 62MAS, Citizen Pro master to CWC. The rest are just cool homages, there to be collected and enjoyed.

Move the time to half past 6, then adjust day/date using quickset. You'll never any issues.

All my vintage and out-of-production divers are on leather straps. I'm not going to take them into the water anyways, plus they look great on leather. On hot days no need to adjust the bracelet. Leather is way easier.

Just acquired this 6309 dated April 1987. I love it but is it regarded as vintage or 'neo vintage'?
