Both gens, and both Seiko, but definitely vintage!
A 1966 Seiko Sportsman and a 1970 King Seiko Special!

1675 GMT Master by RA

ohhh, yes yes indeed!
I have a 1675 arriving in mere minutes. Very excited, I am!:maty:
It's my first vintage rep... and the first time I'll be taking something out of the box and immediately beating it up!

+1 on this, mine is in the post, as is a Clark bezel assembly, crystal and some 2mm springbars. Can't wait to get it and get started.

What a beautiful watch, is it based on the Cartel 1675?

I bought a Trevor model with vintage lume from another member. Now that is has arrived, I think I will have to change the bezel. But it's nice!

Absolutely love this thread. Keep 'em coming!

Here's a few pics i took of some of my golden oldies... I've started taking new shots recently... And for once, not with my mobile phone. I'm finding it an enjoyable but yet painful process. Taking photos of these things can get frustrating!!

That Seamaster is beautiful! Once I've done my 1675, 1680 and 5513, a vintage Omega is next on the list.

I've ordered the Clark 3 piece replacement bezel assembly which includes a replacement insert for $50. I've been told the WSO inserts are the best and will fit this new bezel, however, I'm not sure if they'll go into the standard bezel.
