The watch is a wonderful demonstration that case diameter does not necessarily directly translate on how the watch looks and feels on the wrist. Like some other watches it is stuck on a strap it was on prior to the move but it still kind of works for earl
Starting the week with one of the smallest, thinnest and lightest watches I have - the 33mm handwound goodness of the SCVL002 aka 6810-8000. From the brief period in the early 1990s, when the 68xx caliber got relaunched and where it could still be encased
While some of my Seiko’s stretch to 51mm (like the Izul: www.watchprosite.com ) , I often like them at the other end of the size spectrum. While the SCVL002 is not my smallest Seiko, it is amongst the more elegant / classically sized ones at 33mm and unde
reminds me of the difference between first and second generation Saxonia thins, with the exception that your scvl002 has Roman numerals. Between the 001 and the one you posted I must say that this one you posted is the more special imo.

A lot! So here are two from my collection that would qualify in terms of overall thinness (under 6mm both)... SCVL002: Heritage Chronometrie Ultra Slim: And one which is thicker as a watch (curved front and back) but has the thinnest movement in my collec
I do apologize for starting this one late but the day was super hectic. Irrespective, here it is. Any watch that flies below the radar, that you use when you do not want the watch to be recognized. EDIT - now I have a moment to add on the post 😊 So here’s
As announced the other day the topic this week is opposites attract. What I would like to see are uncommon combinations featuring your watches - whether it’s dress pieces on a beach, high complications in tool settings, a G-Shock in black tie or unconvent
But in the interests of the Olympic Ideal, here may Seiko SCVL002 aka 6810-8000. Made in early 1990s in tiny numbers (before the re-launch of mechanical GS), with Seiko‘s thinnest hand wound movement. I found mine relatively quickly but have not seen anot
