OBSCURE SEIKO OF THE DAY Thread 6 - please join in
Today is the 6th day of our 7 day marathon (should I make it 8 days because lots of us have Monday off this weekend?) Seiko show and tell experience. We've had clocks and watches; constructed of pot metal and plastic and platinum; minutes, hours, full, 1/10ths and 1/100ths seconds, days, weeks, months, years, moons; from 0 to 10, 50, 100, 150, 200M water resistance.
IF you have a Seiko product of any kind around your house, please snap a quick photo and join in our expose.
Here's my obscure Seiko product for the day, with candid snaps taken on a early morning run to the market to pick up supplies for the holiday weekend meals with friends and family members:
This automatic winding, day and date, three-hand watch is in a very clean stainless steel case with acrylic crystal. The linen-look dial texture reminds me of some IWC Ingenieur watches. It probably comes from the early Seventies. I think the DX indicates "deluxe".
from what I can tell, it's on its original signed Seiko flip-lock bracelet
double catches in the clasp keep it from falling off if it comes unlatched, but also make it a bit fiddly to remove.
Here you can see those teeth clearly
The movement has 25 jewels and a quick-set day and date adjusted by pushing the crown IN

This is one of my (almost) full set vintage SEIKO....
As old as I am :-) 57GS, or Second GS Chronometer.... I am looking forward to this being serviced and adjusted. Ken ...
You have a terrific set!
This seems a contemporaneous example, the 35 jewels notation is variously on the dial or movement, but the lugs are unmistakeable: ...
Revisit to current favourite
Hi Well this one is my last Seiko to post - nothing about it be the lesser of the ones I own though! It's most definitely the newest too. So apologies for the continual shots of it - I'm sure it'll slowly find its way & settle in with my other watches...
No apologies necessary
when a new watch captures our fancy, what else can we do? Cheers! Mike
