The two Seiko which are on my wish list.

Oct 15, 2018,00:11 AM
 

One is the cousin of the Longines Big Weems, The Seikosha, made in the 40's for the Kamikaze. 


48 mm case. Credit picture: Phillips.


The second is the world time. Because of its complication. 



Two great watches I am hunting for many years. The World Time is not too tough to find, while the Seikosha is almost an impossible mission. 

Best,

Nicolas

That Kamikaze !!!!

I simply wonder how many were ever built and then used for that purpose. Not many will have survived off course and then there's the question of those still wandering around .... . Greetings my friend ! See you soon ? Bim

Did you hear the joke about the Irish Kamikaze pilot.....

He completed 876 successful missions.

LOL! [nt]

Two great watches to have on your wishlist

Of the two - the world time is the one that I'd go for. Great complication & with a chance of me getting one. Cheers JML

Are you on it, too ? [nt]

Love that World Time

IMHO, the best version Seiko ever made. Even today it looks modern. Those Kamikaze pilot's watches are super radioactive from what I've heard and read about. Be careful if you are handling one.

Two historic timepieces

The first one will be interesting to follow the outcome... very historic in my opinion... The second I have been very close to acquiring myself. It is gorgeous. What held me back was the way it wore on my wrist, it is the final test for me always.... hope... 

i love them

Really? Wow! [nt]

I will, for sure. [nt]

Indeed the World Time is a true pleasure to wear

 
 By: NT931 : October 17th, 2018-06:08
Especially when paired when a blue strap, great for casual summer wear (and perfect for my equitorial climate!) ...  

Superb !!! [nt]

Two very interesting, very different pieces, Nico!

Looking forward to you finding them

It’s a theme you already started...

With your 5110P So it’s inevitable

You know it’s best to leave it open...

There’s mercy at the end of it
