Seiko Chronos On Parade (a/k/a Old Meets New)
« on: January 30, 2012, 06:44:40 PM »
Notice the styling theme? The two on the far left are both 6138-8000s. The next one is a mid-1970s 6138-8020. The one on the far right I just received today, it's an SNN151P1.

Great collection of VERY nice pieces!
 
Especially the 6138-8000s are superb!
 
 :bravo_2:
 
Would it by any means be possible to get caseback pictures of the automatics?
These would be VERY, VERY valueable additions to my caseback archive...
 
Best,

Thanks for the kind words, Hermann. I'll try to post caseback pics tomorrow. I'll also add a photo of my black dial 6138-800x.  Best, Andy.

Per Hermann's request, here are pics of the casebacks of the two 6138-8000s, the 6138-8020, and pics of the black dial 6138-8001 and caseback.

Many, many thanks Andy and sweet 8001!!
 
Sorry for being fussy  :(
But could you kindly also provide the serial numbers? They are a little hard to read in the first & last picture...
 
Thanks again!
Best,
Hermann
