I just got this little beauty back from service. It has been repaired and serviced by a very helpful watch repairman.
It’s a King Seiko 5246-6020 from January 1972. The case is in nice used condition. The dial is in perfect condition and the crystal is a NOS one sourced from Japan. It also came with the original bracelet which is also in really good condition 🤩

Beautiful sunny autumn day here in northern Denmark ☀️
I finally got the correct watch hands on this gem recently. I really have soft spot for those #vintage DS-2.

This old Certina DS-2 is a fairly new addition to my collection. After testing it a bit on a black leather strap, which I don't really think worked so well, it looks much better with a brown strap.
I feel pretty lucky to have found this quite uncommon dial variant.

A bit of amateur #watchrestoration. I polished the glass and cleaned up the case of this wonderful Certina DS-2 and put a new strap on it yesterday. It has a very uncommon dial colour, sort of petroleum blue.

Want a Zenith Chronomaster Revival Shadow, but with a Prince-purple dial, a real minutes/seconds track, and a telemeter scale.

What’s your #DreamWatch?

That’s more like it #WristCheck #WatchesOfMastodon #watchstodon

Hm, kind of hard to see in that shot, actually. #WristCheck #WatchesOfMastodon #watchstodon

The bund strap really butches up the A-15, don’t you think? #WristCheck #WatchesOfMastodon #watchstodon

Could you make a watch movement with transparent sapphire bridges, or are there materials science reasons that wouldn’t work? #watchstodon #horology

(Is there a watch collecting hashtag on here? #watchstodon?) Anyway, my collection is neither large nor terribly expensive, but I do have a 'one in, one out' rule to keep myself from overspending. Mostly it works.

@GWillow I’ve been watching- the Zenith Defy Shadow is super cool, the Rolexes are pure unobtanium. I like the new Cartier Santos color, don’t love the colorful new Pateks.

What are you seeing?

Any watch nerds following the Watches and Wonders new releases today? Is there a watch collecting hashtag on here yet? #watchstodon maybe? 😂

It definitely partakes in the chonky luxury sports watch vibe, but at a much more affordable price. It’s comfortable to wear, and has probably my favorite bracelet micro-adjust of all time.

This was a hey-I’m-supporting-someone-interesting flyer on Kickstarter, but in the end it really delivers. If you’d like a contemporary luxury vibe at a mere $650, with a solid mechanical movement (Miyota), it’s hard to imagine doing better.

Today’s acquisition: the new Traska Venturer GMT in arctic white. Rotating internal bezel, the new Miyota 9075 “real” GMT movement. Feels quite solid.

Fancy enough to wear anywhere on business, enough water resistance to go swimming, and not so expensive as to be a magnet for trouble. Pretty much the ideal travel watch.

Coming back from radiation treatments, got a little something in the mail to boost my spirits. #WristCheck #watchstodon
