Tomorrow, I'll be doing laps in the pool at home just as i did this afternoon (changed the date just for the pics) my ever reliable and very comfortable Stingray 5M45  :)  (it's actually a manta ray....)







I am stunned as always when I look at this watch.

What a great great functional design and look - like said before - the perfect tool.  :035:

Thank you very much for posting it.

Greetings,

sharpie

Seiko 66-8050 on a 20mm bracelet. At the time I wanted that vintage Rolex look. . . now I consider it a vintage Seiko look.

Because I love this Model so and it was my First GS  Pete K had all the NOS Parts  The Mvt w/used


came from this GS  But It was so Nice  I found another Mvt   Pete Overhauled her  and I now


have a 6146-8040  to WEAR    The NOS One is for Collecting   POINT I wanted to show you the OEM Hands


Pete was OUT of them so he used a set of Hands   That he felt Gave me the Lume I Lust for  lol


but He forgot it would need to be Relumed lol   They are Fine hands   Till I locate a set of HOUR and MIN Stick Hands


as to keep her ability to be 100%OEM


The Vintage Gs give me all I have Dreamt they would be.
