Seiko Newbie on the Waterfront
Today's watch has been in my possession about 15 hours, after arriving in the post last night.
I just bought it for the movement inside (I needed some spare parts) but when it showed up it was far better than I had expected for $35. So the SQ with high-corner crystal came walking today.
Mrs C always says "Get a room" when she sees this famous sculpture.
Just around the corner famous entertainer Bob Hope was performing for a group of seamen at Balboa Naval Hospital
I wasn't aware he did sunrise gigs, but he always went out of his way to bring laughs and hope of better times, to the troops around the world. A message we all can appreciate nowadays.
A solitary heron waited for the sun to rise.
Here we go.

as did one fisherman, hunched over at the end of the pier. He hadn't caught anything by the time we got there.
I just missed the final descent of this pelican, but I caught the landing
and his taxi back
An empty restaurant, victim of the times. Its roof is covered with sea birds who took off in a hurry
when this long-tailed hawk left his camouflaged perch and headed over their way.
We turned our attention back to the shore and Mrs C invited us onto the wharf to watch a ship unloading a few small fish.
Turning back towards our car, we joined the increasing horde of walkers, joggers, runners
Wanderers
and those who have gone before us.

I finally noticed that my watch was 12 hours behind (not having paid any attention last night).
Oops.

The one I'm wearing? Or the one at the end?
The one I am wearing has a quartz movement that's not being made anymore, and I need to fix another watch. The one at the end belongs to a watchmaker pal, and he won't sell it to me (I just asked again today). If I remember correctly, he bought it from a ...
Congratulations on getting this one Mike ...
and you got some great photos along the way.
I really appreciate your walkabouts...
I spend all my time at my desk these days and outside is raining and dull weather. You live in a wonderful place and climate. Very cool watch you got. Amazing for 35 bucks. A real scoop!
Like that last Seiko very much.
Looks like a seventies watch? Any bet, Mike, you’ve got more company on your early morning walks than you might think. For me it’s always like a small journey to SoCal; a short trip away from my every day madness in grey and cold Holland. Especially like ...
