What a sublime collection 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻
The early Spring Drove is amazing and so are the chronographs. Didn’t know we counted Bulova - let me add one in that case 😊
And a Bulova related Citizen ‘hummer’ 😊
And a Winnie the Pooh to complement your Mickey and Minnie 👋🏻

Watches of Japan Wrist Scan is live! . . .
Let's share the watches in our collections made in Japan. First up from my collection: a '66 Seiko Sea Lion . . . . . . passed down from Dad over twenty years ago. My watchmaker at the time serviced it, then ten years later another watchmaker butchered it...
Seiko Divers
A great theme. Just acouple off old divers a few more to share later....
Love Seiko divers, owned one . . .
. . . once . . . . . . but gifted it to a friend. Been threatening myself to get a 62MAS but also drawn towards Citizen divers with similar aesthetics and currently available. Best, Art ...
Hello dear Bill! I also love Seiko watches and divers in special.
You share a great array of Turtles here! A classic model among divers from this brand. Hagwe! Abel
I've owned a few more Seikos myself . . .
. . . both of which have ended up in my brother's care. The Seiko 5 was acquired by Dad at the same time as the Sea Lion; it was serviced just once to the best of my recollection, my brother still wears it occasionally. The urushi dial (that jml also owns...
Japanese watches…
Seem to be discovered at strange places at home 😁 There are more of them than one thinks 😂
Thank you so much, Art, for hosting this exciting edition of Wrsit Scan!
Your Sea Lion is wonderful: I don't think I had ever seen it and I like the design very much. Not to mention its strong sentimental value, of course. Only one Japanese watch in my collection, but one I love: the SLGW005. So, here it is in a series of sett...
Japan tour
Thanks for the tour of Japan, great photography in the book and a very well traveled watch! Tim
Hello dear friend Emmanuel! You own just one Seiko (GS) but an spectacular one!! You share it here on some striking backgrounds which reminds its origin.
I can easily imagine you enjoy wearing this beautiful GS so much. Have a nice and relaxed weekend! Abel
Thank you so much dear Abel!
This GS is indeed a joy to wear. I wish you a great and relaxed weekend too! Best, Emmanuel
You are welcome dear Emmanuel!
That’s a beautiful watch indeed ! Thank you for your kind greetings! Cheers! Abel
I took this photo last year at the GS boutique, holding off . . .
. . . in hope of a black dial variation. Between that and a manual wind Railmaster would literally be a toss-up . . . I could go either way. ...
I would really be very happy for you
if a black dial variant was released! Let’s hope it will eventually. Fingers crossed ! Best, Emmanuel
The movement is utterly compelling. A matte black dial . . .
. . . would be irresistible.
Thanks so much for the wonderful theme and the thoughtful first entry, Art 👏🏻👍🏻🇯🇵
You - whether int need or not - did not place a limit on entries, so I will be a bit less selective this time 😁😉 Let’s go: ...
[Note to all: no, I didn't co-ordinate with Kristjan . . .
. . . re this month's theme!] 😅
This theme fits you like a good quality leather glove dear friend KM!!
As a matter of fact I immediately thought of you when our dear Art announced the theme last Wednesday. Lol! You share a superb array of Japanese watches as expected!! 👏👏👏🥂🥂 Not easy to choose just one but I’m always fascinated by the faceted crystals like...
Thanks so much for your kind words Abel 😊👍🏻🙏🏻
It is a theme that fits me reasonably well indeed. Now let’s see Mike come and blow me out of the water with his epic collection 😊👍🏻🤞🏻
Such a wonderful collection !
Great diversity and many appealing pieces! It’s a Japanese watchmaking’s feast!
Thanks for the kind words, Emmanuel 😊👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
There’s a handful of pieces there but nowhere near as many as Mike has 😊👍🏻
Let’s wait and see what Mike comes up with! 😊
But your collection is quite something in any case! 🎌👌🏼🎌
This is a great collection!
I have always like the LandMasrlter. Great to see one again.
That is one serious hunk of Seiko steel! . . .
. . . makes me wanna get the Flightmaster out of the safe deposit box . . .
And those tend to be quite tasty likewise 😁👍🏻🥃
Thanks so much for the kind words 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have added some more throughout the thread…
As I was reminded by other entries that there were more that I didn’t recall initially 😂
This theme is going to be BIG..
Thanks for hosting Art. I’m getting in early, I think it’s going to be EPIC. My first serious mechanical watch. Was hoping to get a fresh rising sun over the weekend but inclement weather forecast makes me unsure. So here’s a recently shared shot in BW. I...
Hello dear Kurt! I always had thought that a beautiful…
… Pogue like yours required a color shot but you prove I was wrong with this awesome B&W shot. I feel you got a winner shot here! And a superb specimen of one of my favorite vintage Seiko you share here! Well played! Hagwe Abel
For everyone who wants a Pogue color photo, here you go
Not a sea serpent! This is the condition of the watch in 2015, when a friend showed it to me and said “Can you help it?” Shortly afterwards he moved, without prior notice, to somewhere in Wyoming. One day, 8 years later, Jim suddenly reappeared with his o...
Wonderful.
A good restoration indeed, and that last photo says it all. Can’t beat that feeling! Well done Mike. 👌🏻 Kind regards, Kurt.
Hello dear Abel.
So glad you liked my BW shot. I managed to get a fresh rising sun ⛅️ shot this morning and I will post in a while. Thank you for your kind comment Abel. Enjoy your weekend and of course this excellent edition of Wristscan! Kurt.
One of the nurses at my internist's office has a Pogue . . .
. . . that he scavenged from his Grandfather's estate. (His cousins took the Rolexes and other name brands, leaving him the Seiko.). After years of prodding he's finally given it to a watchmaker for servicing. He wears it now only on special occasions; it...
Hello Art,
a familiar story with many families the world over I am sure. Nice to hear he has took your advice, got it serviced and now has his own treasured timekeeper. Great theme Art BTW 👌🏻 Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful weekend. Kurt
I'll be hanging out with my old colleague Ken, . . .
. . . aka KIH, later today. Good times to come 🙂 . . .
Send Ken my cordial regards. I met him at the NY GTG…
… on October 2018. I’m sure you’ll enjoy a great time with him today. Cheers! Abel
Will do, Abel. Ken was a wonderful colleague . . .
. . . and a great guy to boot. I hope to visit him in Japan in the not-too-distant future. Art
