Foxindebox 464 Posted October 6, 2016 Hi gang, I wanted to share my newest acquisition. It's a Seiko 6117 world time. The "GMT" hand is actually a 24hr hand and the internal bezel with city names rotates from the Crown. I am absolutely besotted with it and intend to give it a full service (pics to follow). In the meantime, here is a wristie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAJ75 922 Posted October 6, 2016 That is an absolute beauty mate, love the design. Looks really nice on that strap too. What are the details regarding age etc? Looks like an addition to the hit list. Enjoy it in the finest of health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like an addition to the hit list. Enjoy it in the finest of health. Thanks very much! This particular example is from 1972 I believe. It came without the original bracelet, hence the Watchgecko strap (which was only a tenner...). They have become increasingly collectable and are hard to find in this condition, for what I paid anyway (around £175). Once I have it serviced, it's going to get a lot of wrist time for sure.

Thanks for the info mate, I am going to keep my eyes peeled. Funnily enough I picked up two WG straps this week for the recently acquired PAM. Great quality for the price.

I bought a few of these in different sizes and a couple of NATO's. Good luck with your hunt! They are rare beasts indeed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
