Foxindebox 462 Posted October 20, 2016 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. More to follow when they arrive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmshen 0 Posted October 20, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
