Hi all,

I am seeking information on a Seiko Titanium Scuba watch from the 90's:

I recently purchased one of these (awaiting delivery). I can't seem to find much info on this watch, making this an even more intriguing model as far as I'm concerned. The case back is labeled with 7N35 6040.

I believe that this was a Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) model. I have seen somewhat similar watches from the same era that people on WUS refer to as…

I recently took a chance on buying an older Seiko Titanium Kinetic watch. I liked the shape and the seller had replaced the capacitor (this is a Seiko Kinetic specific battery-like part). I paid about $85 for it on eBay. I have had it for a week and I ...

The Kinetic mechanism is a mechanical rotor that charges a battery (or a capacitor in the case of older movements like mine). The movement itself is quartz. I believe that this is a…

Hi all,

WatchUSeek Watch Forums WatchUSeek Watch Forums

Hi all,

I am mainly a pocket watch collector, but I have a few decent wristwatches. I know relatively little about the broader industry. I am considering buying an Orient Star watch and I have only read good things from the people who review them. I own a regular line Orient and it is definitely well-made. I have noted that while Orient Star watches are apparently very high quality, they are perhaps not very fashionable right now.

My purchase decision will not come down to whether they…

As I have gotten interested in entry-level vintage watches, a number of forum members have suggested watches that I might look for. One of these was the Seiko Lord Matic, in its many forms.

I had been keeping an eye out and found a really nice example: a 1971 Lord Matic in great shape and with a new crystal. I put it on a Cordura strap and I really like the overall effect.

The watch was sold as just serviced and I have learned to be skeptical, but it…

I recently purchased a Citizen Homer second setting 21J railroad watch from @Dan S . This is my first foray into vintage wristwatches, and I started collecting pocket watches last year. Dan S suggested this guy as a good option for me. I have been wearing it daily for a while and I thought I'd share a few observations.

Overall, this is a very easy watch to live with. The dial is clean and easy to read--one might say minimalist. I like the simplicity of manual winding...
