Some more Seiko 5 details
As Watchheirmc posted his today and I had some time (and a macro lens), here come some details from my truly, really entry level mechanical watch. You will find no guilloche or anglage, or cotes de geneve but what you do find for the cheap as chips price ...

Really hard to go back to school finally ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
Mine are long passed, too...
I have been wondering about a second degree on and off but have not decided on it so far
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak ;)
You are right, though - never too late!
