Thanks!

Talking a bit about my Seiko divers here (in Swedish).

@Bridger

Brief history;

1965, first SEIKO diver the 6217-800x aka 62MAS, 150m
1967, improved diver, 300m monocoque case, 6215-7000 (only produced 1 year)
1968, THE diver, better movement and changed construction vs 6215, the 6159-7000, only produced 1968-1969. Different case back between them, there are also count up or count down bezels.

The 6159 was also the model the SBDX001, MM300, was modelled from.

The 6159 is old, so prices very a lot depending on condition.

@Bridger It is indeed a Crafter Blue CB03. Works very well.
My favourite of the Seiko divers is the 6159-7000. Mine is also my birth year and month watch, June 1968. Took me 10 years to find, just in time for my 40th.

1985…

@RobeOfTheMagi yup, but replaced it with an SBDX017 10 years ago.

Thrifted today

Super comfy!

@jdwaid

The deed is done

@Danimal506 Thanks man. Full leather, thrifted from a second hand store at a very nice price

Overnight delivery Gosport-Stockholm. As always, brilliant service from the IH team.

Thinking of getting a pair of these great looking pants. Is there any shrinkage in length after a soak and wash?

@mclaincausey said in Watches - another OCD problem:

@Molle that should be added to the IH Gallery

Not an IH strap (yet!!)

SBGR305 on IHSH-13

Ever thought of making watch straps of left over denim? I would love an IH strap with IH HW.

@Giles Perfect!

@Giles Excellent choice. Well done.

I like spring drives especially when the power reserve is on the back.

@Giles said in Watches - another OCD problem:

Springdrive for the win, but the mechanical is more classic and a better size.
As you are in Japan now you have all the chances to check them out IRL.
