i do some light repair/rebuild on the side, mostly as a hobby as i love the 60s-80s sieko watch, but do have love for all watches, the bottom is a seiko 5actus i just finished, it had a faceted mineral crystal but i had to replace it with a flat after the only faceted crystal i could find was 4x what i paid for the watch
As far as good watches i currently have
Omega cosmic
Omega 18k winder(early 60s)with original box(pictured)
Omega Deville(70s) shark mesh original bracelet
Omega SS automatic Pie-pan
Tag Heuer Formula1
Tag Heuer Aquaracer
Rolex mod#16600 Seadweller-I need a factory bracelet if anyone can source one
After being in the pawn industry for seven years ive developed a bad watch habit, i like em nice and i like em expensive, that being said I have no greater joy with my watch habit than repairing and wearing what was one a lost cause and given up on so long ago

Thats quite a collection. My Rolex and Panerai top my collection list. I also have a few lesser cost watches, though I love them too. My most sentimental is the Seiko automatic my folks gave me in 1976 for my 16 th birthday. I have an Invicta railroad watch , a Wenger Swiss Army, and several Bulovas. I'll have to take a picture soon for posting.

just picked it up today, my watch fetish and my car a clashing for my money and there can be only one lol
all things considered its clean, all original parts(bracelet is shot though) minor scratching of the crystal,which isnt bad for a 40yo watch and it runs like a champ. serial of the movement puts it @ a 1970 with a 562 mvmt.

Lol i liked it alot,i wish i couldve found a faceted mineral crystal for it like it had for the factory but alas im not putting a 75 dollar crystal in a 15 dollar watch.
If youre looking for a seiko with the Kanji date i recently bought another one with a Tobacco brown dial, gold case and a leather bracelet
