Show me Your 7549´s

I am planning on getting me a nice 7549 driven Seiko diver so any picture of Your 7549 would be inspirational for my quest to get one

Did this one came out fresh from the rebuilt Suwa production line, Jim?! :)

That looks a real beauty Jim, it is now my pc wallpaper for a while, thanks for the picture.

ps: Is it a NOS ?

Thanks for the great pics, Jim 8)

With te "SQ" on the dial, I trust it to be the international version with english/spanish day/date wheel ?

I think the finish used on the shrouds was perhaps changed at some point ?? during production. Mine, from June '82 has a matte finish such as may have been produced by blasting with a very fine media. I'm fairly certain I've seen some other examples of the matte finish on the older 7549s.

Thanks, guys. It's not NOS, but is a very lightly used example. I bought it from the original owner a few years back after he had it completely serviced. It generally makes it into the rotation a couple of times a month, but I make sure not to wear it while working on the car or doing yard work. ;-)

Very nice pics. Would love to see more.
I was wondering how to tell if its got kanji or en/spanish wheels?
I've got one coming but need to learn more on these babies.

Thanks.
Dave.

It has Spanish/English day wheel. I forgot to say that earlier after JoepeteJokla asked.
