Watches - another OCD problem

[Giles]

If you find any good site, please let me know.  I think I want a vintage Series 5 Sports now….

[Seul]

I usually browse: http://www.watchrecon.com/

[madmonday]

will do G$, nice site seul . . . although it seems that market is a bit out my comfort zone

[Seul]

It goes from 30 $ to 6000… I mean: there's a watch there for any and every budget...

[madmonday]

true, true.

i'm just being a monday

^Monday on a Monday, the stars have aligned :).

I agree with you Monday, the bezel on my watch is nice and somewhat distinctive.

Some of the 5 series are a little odd, but overall I really like the designs and, as you said, the price is right!

Place I bought mine is Mizutani Camera at Ueno 6-9-17, if you're ever in the area.

Think I'll pop in there in May….

I also like your seiko 5 chiba.. Always like seiko watches especially the 'Japan Made' you know you're getting a lot of watch for the money. Here's my scuba 'spork' seiko

@Chiba:

My one and only. Vintage Seiko 5 Sports, circa 1968.

Oh wow thats just awesome what a great watch and the strap compliments it well

Friday love yours too

Yeah 3717 one of my fav watches, timeless and great adaption from the older chrono. Wear it in good health

[Chiba J.]

Nice spork Friday, yeah the Japan Made are nice and affordable, from what I can tell. Thanks for the kind words Davito.

This shop has some nice vintage Seikos, including the one I picked up, and in better condition. Like new.

Those pics, and that tiny wrist, make it look bigger than it is.

[madmonday]

thanks,

think i'm gonna jump on that chiba . . .

[Chiba J.]

Hope you can get it Monday. More than I paid, but again the condition looks great. Looks like they cleaned up the hands quite a bit. Way brighter white than mine.

Didn't look at where the shop is located at first, but just realized it's only about a 10 minute bike ride from my house.

[Friday]

That particular watch was sold.. Going your way MadMonday?

[seawolf]

I know it's been a good weekend when I pick my watch up on Monday morning and it's dead.

[Chiba J.]

This one looks good too.
