Who already owns a birth-year-Seiko?!
Who’s on the hunt?!
Post a photo of the one you own…
Or the one you want to find!

I recently missed out on a stunning 1987 6039.
And that’s realllllly bothering me.
Now I’m running serial #’s off random listings like a psycho.
Here’s the two options I’m trying to find…

My 4R Turtle is much heavier to wind, there is noticeably more resistance when handwinding. It’s not dreadful like a Sellita SW200 or anything but shouldn’t the 4R be as light if not lighter than the 6R? Or does it signify a lack of lubrication of sorts?

i was told that seiko kinetic is the best of both worlds: charges from your movement and doesn’t need batteries but is accurate as quartz

my question is, i know that automatic watches need regular servicing, do the kinetics need to be serviced like an automatic?

and does the kinetic movement charge a battery which will eventually die like a solar watch or is it something different which should last longer than a solar, more like an automatic with no battery?

thanks WUS
