OBSCURE SEIKO OF THE DAY Thread 1 - please join in

 

Hello Seiko Fans,


I would like to invite you to join me in a week-long campaign to get our old, forgotten Seikos out of the watch closet and onto our wrists. 
Just a picture and a paragraph of praise from each Seiko lover would give us momentum, and keep our PuristS forum consuming its rightful share of bandwidth. 
I'll start with this 30-yr. old Seiko:


 

It's a Seiko Sports 100 Split Chronograph with date and moon phase complications. Born around 1985, it's retaining most of its stunning amusing gold tone finish, with just a tiny bit of patina growing around the chronograph pushers. 


The original bracelet clasp is almost unmarked but does show a few light desk scratches.


The movement is 7A48A with 15 jewels and speed adjuster knob (amazing) and a recent battery change.




What do you think? I know it's out of fashion, but is it a watch you could wear occasionally to note the day of the month, check the phase of the moon, or time a steak on the BBQ? Or just wear to get some comments?


Cheers,

Cazalea
