So that was what it was....

Nice set of 4S watches, oosimm, now you need a 4S Alpinist, a 4S24 or 4S25/35 dress watch, and maybe a 4S77 Credor Phoenix to complete the set!

haha no lah never in my thought about 4s14/25/35 dress watches and 4s77 credor isnt my taste lor. I'm not a 'going to complete set' guy ..whatever appeals and affordable to me at the point of time,then I will keep.
I have always like the 3 x 4sxx only.... SUS military(subsitute by SUS military quartz now),SUS GMT,4S15 Alpinist Diver

if ever I got the money to spend and if its at good price,probably 4S15 SUS military. 4s15 Alpinist(not so sure )

trio of WWII military watches for British Army. two black dial WWWs(Timor,Record) are from early 40's while smaller 'record' is from late 30s.

Anybody here also collecting such watches?

Finally got myself my first watchbox,just in time for this coming event. I figure it be easier to shift arrangement around the house too..instead of lying around in a cabinet. nothing really new...still e same collection.

not sure if I need another box(wabi watches need watchbox slot?)

here are e seiko divers,some new but most vintage( 7C43 full titanium not shown)

and lastly my 6139 'pogue' and other variants.

when I bought it,I take it as it isnt original as the clasp piece has the 'SQ' logo instead of plain 'SEIKO'. However,there is one SCWF collector's watch with same BoR bracelet ...

I do have normal 'SEIKO' bracelet clasp piece but not planning to change it now...maybe try to find what bracelet its on orignally..

thanks rafs .

Olympic 2012....
I've been watching some of those games on TV.. and in spirit of the 2012 London Olympics, took some quick pics of 3 of my Vintage Seikos on this nice day in remembrance of the 1964 Japan Tokyo Olympics. It was the first time Japan participated in the Olympics and was the honourable organising country esp after WWII. 1916,1940 and 1944 Olympics were cancelled due to the wars. And Seiko was the official time keeping brand used in those 1964 games... not easy esp as an Asian country.

HERITAGE

During the 1950s and 1960s, sport scuba diving had become increasingly popular. Increasing prosperity coupled with scuba technology developed during WWII gave private divers access to revolutionary equipment &*8211; including true divers watches. The advent of modern bezelled dive watches dawned in 1953 with the introduction of the Rolex Submariner and Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. Paradoxically, until the second half of the 1960s, landlocked Switzerland was the principal producer of dive watches for civilian diving!

Prior to the 1964 Tokyo Olympics (with Seiko as Official Timer), Seiko had introduced its first range of truly submersible sport watches with (internal) rotating countdown bezels( in the form of the Seikomatic 50m Silverwave (1962)and the Sportsmatic 30m Silverwave (1964). These sports divers were the immediate precursors to Seiko (and Japans) first professional diver comprising 150m depth capability, shockproofing, extreme legibility and an external timing bezel,the 62MAS(1965).

Why these three? Its because they are Seiko,and closest to the 1964 Olympic held in Japan(that I have). Maybe just need a 5717/5719 one button chrono to add in the collection... esp the black dial one with the olympic torch on caseback (note there are asian games logo and olympic games torch variant)

(taken from the web,PWC/SCWF)

The Sportsmatic 30m Silverwave is from 1964 while the 62MAS is from '67. All these three have kinda fatter straight cut lugs hence I class them together.
