The Orient Weekly Auto Swimmer is approximately 1960-1970 vintage.. It has a Kanji daywheel.. the only day I recognise is Sunday (because it is in red)..
The back is showing "40m perfect waterproof".. an interesting claim that would not be made in this era of litigation.. but shows a level of confidence in their watches.. I really like the diver embossed on the caseback..
The watch looks very nice on a thick brown leather strap.. I have no idea what the original strap or bracelet might have been..

screws. Internal bezel via 2nd crown and quickset date. Does anyone have info on these or the Ricoh badged equivalent?

Hi all,
I’m trying to get my -6002 bracelet so that the clasp sits nice and flat under the watch, so that it’s more comfortable to wear and sits centrally. However I can’t seem to get it to lay flat and I can’t remove any more links from the left side. If I add more links to the right side it...
