I have a collection of Seiko 7A28 based watches and recently picked up a fair example of the 7A28-7010.

It needed a new crystal and also a service to fix a chronograph fault. While I was doing this I decided to relume the dial batons and the hands.

Within a day or so of buying this, I spotted another very similar watch (the Seiko Spirit SBTQ073). I won it for the opening bid price, which given the condition and the fact it came on a Hirsch strap as well as the steel bracelet made it a no brainer to quote Mr Bacon.

Here are a few pictures - side by side:

i really like the chrono's..great additions...they looks like they are both new

I really like both, but the new one would be better with the old style hands IMO.
Much more legible in all lights.

Nice watches!

I'd love it if Seiko remade my favorite 7a28, the -7020:

I like that Seiko has gone back to the 3 6 9 layout VS. the 8 9 12 layout on some of their quartz chronos.

And black and white it a classic combination.
