Forget MoonSwatch, I got this Seiko 7A28 Speedmaster

I got this watch by bidding in Yahoo Auction Japan...The condition is really bad, but I just gambled my money on it...And luckily, it's repairable, now functioning nicely, with new crystal...Not bad for 80s watch..

7A28 is important in watch history as this movement was the first analog quartz chronograph in the world...Now I'm glad that I owned both Seiko 6139 and 7A28, both a pioneer movement respectively..

Congrats on the pickup. I have a 7A28-7020 (SPR010) that was my first chronograph.

Someone needs to explain the Omega/Swatch plastic thingy abomination to me! It’s horrific on pictures and in the real world it’s positively offensive. However I support everyone’s right to queue and spend your money on anything that floats your boat. 😎
