It's Vintage
An off day at home, resulted in some photography session using my Samsung omnia camera phone. Pardon the quality, it's after all, a hp camera...
Simply Vintage.
This is my very first vintage watch.
Right: Seiko Helmet 6139-7100 ( Feb 1976)
Got my 2nd piece shortly after that,
Left: Citizen bullhead 8110 (July 1976)
Although they are both 32 years old, they keep really impressive accurate time. No complains about that.
How this Seiko got his name is because of the unique helmet shape.
As for the citizen, its because of the crown located at the 12 o'clock position. BULLHEAD!
Some random up close shots of the dial
What I like so much about the Seiko is the really thick casing it has. Just a pity that it's only 40mm in size, which is... hmm... small, to my context. The bullhead is slightly smaller, but the design of the crowns is stunning.
Seiko do produce a Bullhead version, which is even bigger, 44mm! That version is very much sought after by Seiko collectors, and me.. of course. Currently looking for one that's of a really ideal condition currently. heh..
