Yes, the burgundy lacquer dial is marvelous! Funnily, this is the second time ...
... for me to see this watch presented as a new acquisition within three days. On a German online forum, a member presented this watch (on the burgundy-red rubber strap, though, and expressed his affection for it.

I can finally join in instead of lurking...
I guess I could have contributed in the Omega forum but most of my pieces don't fit the mold around here. I do think you could put a Grand Seiko forum in though. Many thanks to Zack for another amazing and smooth transaction. Much appreciated... It fits i...
Welcome Zoodles to the UN club
congrats on the MMD a stunning watch im sure you will get heaps of pleasure with this watch, a great addition to a nice collection
Finally got it sized correctly...
It was too small when it came so I threw on the extra links that came with it. Was slightly too loose. Thought I might need to buy a half link or something to change out a full link for a half link. Just looked over the watch and found a half link already...
where are you located?
as you can get them from a UN boutique or i have some depending on how many you need
Normally, a good watchmaker should have the screws in his stock ...
... since they are pretty much standard. However, if you have problems obtaining them, don't hesitate to contact UN directly. They once sent me two pairs of spring bars, when I did not get the right one here at home. Regards, Marcus
A superb Marine with a red brown dial.

Congrats! I really like the MMD!
It's a great pickup! The dial is a fun, fresh color also. Just an all around handsome watch! I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for sharing pictures of your collection. I know there would be many PuristS who'd be excited about a Seiko forum (myself included). Ch...
Seiko forum?
Thanks for the kind words. As for a Seiko forum... It would obviously have to have limitations to fit into the mandate of this forum. It would be weird to have people discussing Seiko 5s on a Seiko forum while people are discussing a $150000 plus Lange To...
Absolutely NOT weird!!!! ....
I am very sorry that our community caused the impression that inexpensive watches are not tolerated or discussed here, which is wrong. True is, that they are not the dominant topic, but we had highly interesting threads, and even articles on G-Shocks, var...
Thanks Markus...
Thanks for the clarification Markus. I obviously need to spend more time checking out the forums on here. As for Grand Seikos, well, they opened up a Seiko Boutique here in Toronto, Canada and you can buy Grand Seikos there. What is weird though is that t...
Unfortunately, there seems to only one shop in Europe authorized to sell GS ...

Hi there!
I actually think it's really important that we don't lose sight of the fact that honestly made "affordable" (affordable is different for everyone obviously) watches are worthy of discussion as well -- watches like the Seiko 5s. While the majority of discu...
Welcome and thanks for presenting your beauties ....
Is this the Seagull Chinese Air Force chronograph sitting on the top of the box? Do you wear it frequently? How do you like it? For me, it is a highly tempting Chinese timepiece, due to its "honesty". Regards, Marcus
That is a current 1963 re-issue which is sourced from Sea-Gull directly...
Ed an asianwatchforum regular is sourcing these from Sea-Gull HK and they are coming with papers from Sea-Gull. http://www.network54.com/Forum/642233/thread/1274634289/A+Sea-Gull+1963+from+%26quot%3BDown+Under%26quot%3B ... The Sea-Gull ST19 powers the wa...
