This might be the coolest vintage Seiko digital ever! What an awesome piece!

Very interesting video 👍 can't wait until you do the 7006 Thanks Spencer

That NASA watch is really neat. Also, the silver dial 7006 is a real nice watch. The 70xx movement back in the day was a high quality movement.

What an interesting piece. I'm so late to the game. All of these really cool watches from days gone by. Most come from people who have had these watches somehow tied to the actual place in history for their correct use. Phenomenal. I wish I could find pieces like these in pristine condition that were affordable. Great work as usual Spencer.

I bought a A829-6019 "Astronaut" a decade ago and imported it from Florida, if you search they were worn by the majority of Shuttle crew back in the 1980's.
Possibly the most useful and best designed "Space" watch to date IMHO.

That quartztimer is worthy of back to the future.

Absolutely fascinating video, as always. Love the nasa watch! Damn it, Spencer, not another one for me to hunt!!!

The site of the first battle of the War of the Roses in 1455 is a 10 minute walk from where I live....

Dutch Astronaut Wubbo Ockels used to wear one of these on his spacemission.

Hello Spencer. I've emailed you twice with a question about the 7017 I bought from you. Can you take a look? Thanks.

[RobertBlanchard]

Very cool Seiko! never knew this existed... but now that I think about it Seiko made the racing version (Speedmaster SSBA022 I think) using the rotating bezel as well. Ayrton Senna wore one early in his carrier. Have you ever worked on these? Side question, tell me about the 6105-8110 with the 6309-7040 hands... whats going on with this willard?

[SmokeGray]

Hi Mr. Klein, hope you are doing well. If it’s not a trade secret, would you mind sharing the information on the transmission pin seals?

You forgot to set in on 24h... It's still on the child setting (am/pm).
