As I wait for the 5513 this will do...

Racer X · 24 July 2011, 02:15 PM

Great watches guys. I especially enjoyed seeing the non-Rolex vintage. Think I may need to do some research on vintage Seiko. Really cool!

Agree and that 70's Seiko Bullhead looks fantastic

I actually went and did some checking almost as soon as I saw it..... And there were a couple on the bay of thieves. But the size of it is way too big for me at 45 mm across the width and a bit more from 6 - 12 o'clock since the Chrono buttons are at 11, 12 and 1. Was pretty meaty in the thickness stakes too so I would never wear it.......which is my golden rule for collecting

Shame because it looks great

The size of these watches is one thing I really like about 'em. I don't think I'd wear one of them to the office, but I definitely could see wearing them in more casual settings.

Its not that big they are 42mm width, 44mm lug to lug. Since the crown and pushers are on top it actually doesn't look or feel big.
Im going Rolex this morning

Took a brief tour last night through the 'bay to see what's out there and saw a few Seiko references that look huge. I thought I saw one that was 50mm across? Maybe that is the "tuna can"? Also, some of them looked really thick, as in thicker than an SD. Then again, it's hard to tell sometimes from pictures.
