Hi Gang,

 

I thought I'd tell you about my latest acquisitions. They are still in the post but should be here soon.. I'm VERY excited.

 

First off is a bargain King Seiko. I only paid £100 quid for it as the date quickest is broken. The 5626 movement is notorious for this as there is a little plastic part that is brittle and breaks. The part is nigh on impossible to source, but I have one from an old junk LM movement :)

 

Here are a few pics

Next up is a vintage Bellmatic. I was fortunate enough to find this beauty which still has its original receipt, instructions and box! It's in perfect working order and comes with all bracelet links too.

What a grab on the Hi-beat! The outside looks like it's in good condition. I used to hunt for a vintage Hi-Beat (Citizen or Seiko) pretty aggressively on ebay before my buying hiatus.

 

Finding a vintage with original box and papers is crazy too. Your hunting skills are top notch.

The 1973 receipt and hang tags blow my mind!
