Hi,

I'm new here, registered a few days back but didn't manage to get time to post/read the rules etc ...
My interests are auto chronographs and not a "big" collector . Here's one of my vintages (on a stealth nato ) ...

Hi,

You have to upload the photos elsewhere, like flickr, imageshack, photobucket or tinypic.

Nice MM, did you age it on purpose ?

I can't recall but the price is like $25 or something ? You can always call and ask, say you are referred from Seiko Club ;)
