My favorite Seiko vintage pieces
I wanted to present some of my vintage pieces from the 60s-70s.
Seiko Lord Marvel 15027E from 1963 :
I love that piece because of its simplicity. Reliable, elegant and very classy with its rhodium-plated hands and indexes.
Grand Seiko 4522-8000 from 1970 :
The iconic Grand Seiko watch from the 60s with its 36.5mm 44GS case, its Hi-Beat 36000 mechanical movement. I decided to replace the original case back with a custom-made sapphire case back in order to admire the movement.
Seiko LordMatic 5206-6030 from 1972 :
My favorite sports watch with a very thin 36mm case, accurate high frequency movement. The "special" wording on the dial refers to the 5206 movement which will be the basis of the Grand Seiko automatic movements of the 90s.
Seiko 21-7510 from 1971 :
Funny little bonus with this mechanical kimono pocket watch called Momotaro. Chrome-plated case and urushi painted shell.
Tell me which one is your favorite.
Thank you for reading !

Really good question
By: Musto27 : November 1st, 2024-14:39
To be honest i bought it 4 years ago because i had no money to buy the GS first. I had the first in my hands since.. and I really prefer the Lord Marvel. The movement is so reliable, I've never had a problem with this watch. Also the dials on the First te...
