...............they pull me back in. Well that's what I promised my wife. No more purchases................for a while.

Then I get home today to find a[nother] package from Chris [belk7].

He unwittingly started an insatiable interest in a certain brand from Japan with the generous gift of an Orange Monster only a few short months ago. Now today he sends a very funky 1970's vintage 6119 in amazing condition.

As luck would have it I just happen to have the perfect bracelet to match.
Many thanks to Chris once again for the kind gesture.

Dan - the red dial/yellow hand combination is great. Nice bracelet also!!

Dan Pierce · 11 June 2011, 02:16 PM

Thanks, Dalip!

The dial's actually more like a burnt orange that was hard to capture w/ the camera during this afternoon's storms.

Looks great Dan.
The vintage Seiko's seem to have a timeless design...and that band matches extremely well!

I'd almost bet, you'll never be "out" of the Seiko line....Enjoy!

I swear, Dan - it looks like it was made to be fitted with that bracelet. You'll have to try a group shot of the "collection from the East" sometime.

93 Turbo · 12 June 2011, 12:04 AM

Dan, your pic's are killing me. The watch looks great.

usbzoso · 12 June 2011, 12:22 AM
