Horological Meandering

My Additional Purchase for December 2009

Here's another Seiko Automatic Chrono I won on that online auction site.

I won the bid on this watch at the same time as the Seiko Bullhead. I had bidded on both watches not knowing I would win both. A rookie's bidding mistake, but a pleasent mistake as both watches are great.

This one is the SEIKO 6138-0011, commonly called the "UFO". I figured its called that because from the profile it does look like a commonly held view of what a UFO would look like.

At the time I posted the pics of the Seiko Bullhead, this watch had been sent in for service because it had stopped running. I suspect I may have overwound the watch causing the mainspring barrel to stop working. Anyhow, after the service it has been keeping pretty good time.

As with the Bullhead, the bracelet that came with this watch was replaced with another strap I had lying around.
