This is it..... My Birthday Present... So Happy I am :)

Today is My Birthday..... and i got my present from myself a very rare Seiko DuoTime 

cal. 5619A ca.72 (my lucky number) with 23 jewels, 6 bps, a.k.a 56DMC.

Measurement :

- 42mm top lug to bottom lug , 

- 35mm side to side ( without crown ) and 

- 10mm thickness

These were only made for a short while and i have seen them called " The forgotten Seiko "

"The 5619 shares the same base movement as 56 King Seiko Chronometer and 56 Grand Seiko. The GMT hand can be adjusted independently, as those on the Rolex GMT Master II. The movement is adjusted to Seiko “C” Accuracy Grade (-15/+25), and was considered technically superior to most contemporary high-grade movement from Seiko. The 5619 DuoTime is very rare to find nowadays and even harder to find in good condition." courtesy of Time Keeper Forum

please enjoy the pics.....

Wanna be Rolex 1655.... Wish me luck !!!

The First Seiko Chronograph W/ Single Button Ca.60s

Today i received my favorite Seiko chronograph single button at 2 o'clock w/o chrono sub register usually it called chronostop. with untouched dial and case, and dial markers or hands not relumed too...

The dial looks has been aging already, impact of well used...cause it's pre-owned vintage wristwatch that i like with 38mm dia. and w/o day/date features. So simple but rare...all chrono function works as it should and keep time.

Text on the dial below the six's marker not as usually wristwatch of Seiko as we're known.

If Seiko wristwatch used caliber 5719A then on the dial below six's marker will typed 8 digits, first 4 digits, symbol of calibre and second 4 digits, symbol of variant or model of the wristwatch, but not like mine below the six's marker typed "Made In Japan" and "45898 TO" (pie pan dial variant) this variant is without day/date features. at the caseback we will see the torch of olympiad at 1964 in Tokyo eventhough it's vague.

Please enjoy the pics....

All parts are genuine, untouched and not relumed too, 

well used wristwatch.

Aquisition In Early 2011

My aquisition in early 2011 is Seiko cal.6138 that most famous among them, they are Bullhead & U.F.O model, with affordable price we could get good quality chronograph movement eventhough Japan movement, it can fullfil power reserved from spinning the crown and this movement use coloum wheel like good quality Swiss chronograph movement.

Rare >> Bellmatic << Rare

Posted by John N, Wednesday, November 30, 2005

"Sometimes rarity is only in the eyes of the beholder, but these Bell-Matics are some of the hardest to find. The 4005 movement with date-only is rarely if ever seen at auction or on watch sales forums."


My opinion :

Especially for proper condition like my Bellmatic 4005, not easy to find.


All parts genuine with best condition of black genuine dial.. cal.4005 ca.60s only produced with 27 jewels variant and in short time. 1968-1969 2 years only and then be continued by the successor cal.4006 movement with day/date and 3 variants 17j/21j/27j, cal.4005 not many population off course.


Year end 2010 verge door.. so i decided this rarest Seiko Bellmatic cal.4005-7000 as my closing year 2010 acquisition for my wristwatch collection. I'm very happy, i hope you too.


please enjoy the pics.... see you next hopeful year "2011"

Sturdy Seiko Bellmatic 27 jewels ca.70s

Mother Board Bellmatic Movements

Not easy but not too hard to find Seiko Bellmatic 27 jewels(j), cause bellmatic with calendar have 3 variants cal.4006 with 17j, 21j or 27j and if we compare among of them obviously we can look how very different they are.

So i decided to own seiko bellmatic variant with 27j in line of my wristwatch constellation, cause i thought this variant ought to have by any wristwatch collector...why ? this kind of movement mechanical alarm, manual or automatic they're very complicated movement has ever been made in their decade and sturdy movement of course.

If we wanna buy modern wirstwatch with mechanical alarm movement today... very very expensive one.

 Barrel and Wheel Train Bridge

This is it.... my sturdy Seiko Bellmatic 27j cal.4006-7010 with all genuine parts. i can't say anyword cause a thousand word can say with look this picture...please enjoy it

What do you think ?????

Rare > Lord Matic < Rare

I do not really like Lord Matic variant of Seiko before, cause i think more beautiful and collectible item is Seiko Lord Marvel than Lord Matic a.k.a Seiko LM, but lately since i looked this variant i do shift my paradigm about that...it's remember me to the King Seiko, therefore i called it poor man "King Seiko"...(PMKS)

Lord Matic this variant is an exception for me... it's really beautiful (subject manner) and i fallin' in love at the first sight...

My reasons are :
1. lord matic w/o LM symbol up the 6 marker
2. day/date not all at marker 3, but split day/date, date at 3 and day at 6 with full day name, black color font type for weekday, blue for saturday and red for sunday
3. monocoque stainless steel case w/ dia 36mm exl. crown, with old fashion typed at back case "waterproof"
4. sturdy calibre 5606 with 25 jewels ca. 1968s, made it different with other Lord Matic's
5. dauphine steel hands with black striped in line
6. hacked system with 8 bps hi-beat
7. the last but not least and the most important thing is all parts genuine

 

please enjoy the pics....

Seiko Brown Bullhead SpeedTimer

over size 46mm diameter case

clean movement and without corrosion case

all genuine parts

lately i missed my Seiko Brown Bullhead SpeedTimer until i found it again, i rethink it's a must have for any wirstwatch collector cause bullhead shape is unusual shape of wristwatch, in 70s era many brands of watchmaker launched bullhead shape like Omega, Breitling, Citizen and the others but their price is very high now, except for Citizen Bullhead cause it has small size diameter

so.... not wrong if we have one of them (bullhead shape wirstwatch) even only Seiko's brand, cause the price still affordable for all of us now but maybe 5 - 10 years in the future the price is not simple anymore... cause many new players will show up but the population of Seiko Bullhead do not increase anymore

Rare - Seiko 6139 7060 - Rare

one sub chrono Seiko sporty looks very cool ... cal. 6139 ca.70s

Seiko 6139-7060 chrono with 30-minute sub-dial. Keeps good time, all chrono functions work correctly and the sweep hand resets to bang on 12 o'clock, inner rotating bezel working properly
