Being my first love was Vintage Pocket watches, the Demaskening??? is a Thing of ART a thing of Exceptional Beauty. That I leave to the P.W.
My love for Vintage Seiko s , and there Unbelievable Accuracy, has Transcended my appreciation for the Mvts Possible beauty.
The best example I can offer is the 6159-7001 Having a One Pc Case never really seeing the movement, Until this week, when I was Gifted with
being able to Have in my possession, for a few weeks a MINTY 1969 --6159-7001 Sent to me , with the kindness that only another
Wis could take on, giving me the Chance, I may never have had, to see, hold and wear, this imho "the most Beautiful of all Seiko Divers, ever made.
This and seeing Alvins 6215-7000 Pics of the Mvt so Beautiful, yet may never see light again, after her servicing, and Watter Proofing Pressure testing etc
I have one Wristwatch that offers both, bought before my first SEIKO A NIB GLYCINE Eugine Meylan -3835.29A W/ ETA2895-1 mvt She has a display
case back. Funny you asked, about casebacks I sometimes lose the sence of time, when looking at a Illinois Bunn Special 61" 23 J PW Mvt Having
to take the Case back off, and just get Mesmerized by the Beauty and Accuracy of a 85 year old mvt appearing as NEW
Point The Absolute Beauty of this Watch, the 6159-7001 with it's Accuracy, and timeless cosmetic beauty, makes the Point for me,
Mvt beauty or accuracy hard to answer, w/o taking into consideration The Rest of the appeal of the watch.
Yet if you gave me the most accurate Seiko ever made, and I did not Like the Case, dial, hands, etc I would pass on it for a Watch I loved to look at.
