Seiko

all Seiko fans will probably guess that the watch i have just purchased is a 1964 calibre 430 handwind Grand Seiko, the ultimate Seiko for my 1964 collection.

i hope you enjoy the pics as much as i'm enjoying my purchase.

thanks Kari,
a happy easter to you and your beautiful wife.
i've got a busy weekend doing live band photography. keeps us single guys busy :)

Fine job !!! What a handsome fellow ... am i right ?

... you told us before ... 

preferably a bitch. Then we are equal. Or should I say in as deep s..t.

.. option number two is most realistic ....

Bravo 

not quite 50 quids Darko, 20x that in fact, but i did get 6x that off on my offer.
i always find a bargain :)

G

your offer was 50 of course
Nice that you made a bargain of such nice watch
and there is no need for Darko to intervene


Sincerely
D

:)

i thought about offering 50, but that was on another watch that arrived today and will be posted on home later.

I hope to see more of your own photos of this Seiko when it arrives.

You have given me inspiration to find "my" Seiko, perhaps in the same way.  ;-)

Best,

thanks Respo,
i think the Seiko from 64 theme is finished now. the GS, a KS, the olympic 1 button chrono, olympic worldtimer and a dirt cheap 66 calibre handwind.

Now,

Can you find me one from 1951?

Said the old guy...

thanks Mike,

all we can do is look, but it wont be a GS.

It's in very, very good shape.  I myself have been pondering about it, too....  Nice!!!!

Ken

thank you Ken.
i think i'm having a lucky streak as its the best condition model i've seen for a long time and price was about right which is also important to me.

thanks Ronald.
i hadnt really thought of it as a grail piece, but you got me thinking and it really is. i've spent a long time wanting and searching for one knowing its extremely high quality and not easy to find so it fits the grail description perfectly.

Looks like a good deal.
We need to arrange a London trip for a catch up with your collection..!! End of May..?

Speak soon,

Andy.

that would be good. got a lot of music gigs and festivals coming up but i can always fit in a midweek except tuesdays.

if you fancy another holiday on south coast my door is always open. i must come and visit you soon as an old friend of mine lives in Holmes Chapel.
