Beautiful ... but ....
Feb 24, 2014,20:38 PM
I was one of the lucky ones to secure this beautiful watch.
However I am still wondering why the date window is not a neatly cut square/rectangle? It looks like it was punched through. Could this have anything to do with the dial being in enamel? Or is there some other reason?
Cheers.

An Unforgettable Encounter

First of all kudos for the new Seiko Forum, much under appreciated and highly deserving ! Posted these in the not so recent past, not sure many saw it. Quite unforgettable, simply stunning. The Breguet Numerals and Enamel Dial is to die for ..... How do u...
Yup!

I didn't know about this model.... SEIKO should do better about "globalization"..... And, thank YOU, my friend! Ken

... drop me a line next time you have time in Tokyo! Thank you again, flamenco! Ken
That dial looks familiar (as well as beautiful)

And no wonder! Sadly, I remember nothing about the acquisition of this pocket watch or its previous life. Maybe eBay? It\'s got a small crack in the crystal but not so noticeable that I\'ve tried to find a new one. Cheers, Cazalea ...
Beautiful

What movement does it use ? What's second setting ? You have to tell us more, Mike !
I think it means hacking seconds, as the hand stops when crown is pulled
By: cazalea : February 24th, 2014-14:24
shall I open it up and see what that movement looks like in the Seiko pocket watch? Aha! It's a 6110A wristwatch movement, which I can use to date the watch to 1971. And the world's thickest case or movement spacer ring. Fingerprints too! Time for a clean...

Hi Thanks for posting, looks great. Although different kind of reminds me of Seiko Sarbo31 a watch I really should have made more of an effort to get. Think I need to go off and look for mor details. Thanks for sharing Cheers JML
Mine says hi.

Since I bought mine in Taiwan, where Mandarin is the official language, the day display can be set in either English or Chinese characters. Only 150 of this watch were allocated to Taiwan; I was lucky enough to see and grab it right after its release. Thi...
Is the dial porcelain

Great looking watch captured in stunning pictures. What else do you have lurking in your watch box. Bill
Actually, I've been asked
By: Luis6 : February 21st, 2014-17:49
quite a lot about the dial. The answer is: "Sorry, it's not porcelain, though it does look like." A porcelain dial would be nice, but this pure white dial is just as fine for me. I remember there were other commemorative models with porcelain dials, which...
Looks splendid on your wrist !

It is a rare watch in its own right. Your photos do the watch very much justice. Sounds like you caught the seiko bug !
Flamenco, the watch you show as your avatar,

the Grand Seiko 50th anniversary, is simply breathtaking. That's my most desirable GS. Very hard to find now. I missed the opportunity to buy it because it came out before I got into watches.
Haha, that's a great

read. Thank you. I don't mind enjoying the watch with visual pleasure. what a great watch that is!

this is one i have considered buying, but something else always crops up.
By: G99 : February 23rd, 2014-03:04
brilliant to have a Seiko forum and i will try to re review my meagre offerings soon. desperately looking for the elusive 1964 Grand Seiko. found one at great price with a good buy it now, but seller withdrew it before i could make an offer. found another...
no, sadly that is one...
By: G99 : February 23rd, 2014-09:29
no, sadly that is one that eludes me. i had a 65 GS and my 64 KS is a stunning performer after being self adjusted. my Beijing anniversary handwind is also a superb performer after self adjustment. eyes open please folks. if anyone knows where a gold meda...
Do u mean
By: flamenco : February 24th, 2014-15:40
A 6516 ? Both are hard to get your hands on. But I would prioritize the vintage as well ! A missing gold medallion is definitely a no go !
no i meant a 1965...
By: G99 : February 25th, 2014-00:02
no i meant a 1965 GS, but forget the model number for that period off the top of my head. as you say. no medallion no watch for me. G
IMO, nothing touches it at this price point
By: flamenco : February 26th, 2014-18:23
Subjectively and with bias , of course ;) Seiko sure knows how to bring value to both the mass market and the discerning collector :D
