Watches - another OCD problem

Seikos first divers watch was introduced in 1965. My example of the 6217-8001 (aka 62MAS) is from 1967.

@gazza61 Never scratch

@Molle same as my speedy dark side of the moon,just got to be carefull not to drop them on a hard surface.

Seikos 2nd diver, 6215-7000. Only produced for one year, 1967. I thought the text of the M65 label was very suitable also for the watch.

Grand Seiko SBGR305 from 2017. First one where they ditched Seiko at the top of the dial and Grand Seiko was made a brand of its own. Titanium case and 9S68 automatic movement.

Yeah that’s a beauty. Simplicity wins the day. A simple “automatic” is great. I don’t need the watch to flex about its Hi Beat or Spring Drive. I can simply watch the seconds hand if I feel I need to know that for some reason. Knowing whether or not it requires a manual wind is justifiable intel to display.

@Molle - Lovely GS. Have you seen the new(ish) SBGW305?
Not in the flesh. I have the old SBGW005 though which has the same bracelet.

This is not to your liking then I guess?

@Molle haha I admire it but indeed it’s a bit much for me.
I used to be a big chronograph guy but now I’m a diver guy for mechanical watches even though I just wear a fitness watch. What timing I don’t do on my phone can usually be done with a dive bezel and I like the ruggedness and not having to worry about taking a dip and things like that.

@mclaincausey divers watches are my favourites. The poor man’s chrono (the turning bezel) is very useful.
