Let the games begin!
My first Seiko but not my last. Getting ready for the summer games opening ceremony later today. Anyone else with a 5719 here?
Just when I thought I had seen it all. What a beautifull Seiko watch ! [nt]

Thanks!
I believe this was Seiko's first chronograph made in 1964. It was made for that year only as Tokyo was hosting the summer games and Seiko wanted to show they were a serious watchmaker. There are a few iterations of this reference 5719, all very nice but my personal favorite happens to be this iteration. Thanks for looking!
While I don't have that very same vintage Seiko . . .
. . . there are a few in my collection. Coincidentally, I've been wearing my new GS since yesterday, and will share a fresh pic later on.
Funny about Seiko: months will go by without getting any use out of my five, and then, for no reason at all, I feel like wearing them again.
Best,

As promised, a fresh photo . . .
. . . of the SBGW047.
All of my Seikos are kept at home (while many others slumber in a safe deposit box), but unusually, this one hasn't had any wrist time in quite a while. It'll be on my wrist thru the weekend.

Really lovely watch!
They also produced a world timer for the same event and IIRC a stopwatch that inspired the later Izul series
