The Lord Marvels are a very nice watch, too. Definitely hold onto that one. Yes, these old Seikos are sweet. They bring up images of old Sanyo transistor radios and Mazda 1500s. teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-44680713099271039102019-10-08T03:51:41.731-07:002019-10-08T03:51:41.731-07:0037mm sounds perfect.

Love the aesthetic of these old Seikos, so I'll definitely keep it!Stijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214743113195218222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-62284204541668488492019-10-01T03:40:49.527-07:002019-10-01T03:40:49.527-07:00@ B McMolo, yeah, I have a tonne of various paper ...@ B McMolo, yeah, I have a tonne of various paper items that I use as bookmarks, but the bottle labels are cool. When you soak them off, let them dry, sticky side up, as some of the residue can linger, and then glue them onto some cardstock to make them last longer. If you use a nice thick cardstock, you can then use the labels as coasters if you cover them in book-covering plastic, like schoolkids use.<br /><br />And as for the Skyliner, you could do much worse than snagging one of those. Bear in mind that Seiko vintage parts can be tricky to come by, but that's part of the pleasure/curse of watch collecting. <br /><br />@unnamable, if you think typewriter collecting is addictive, then the slippery slope of watch collecting is an absolute monster. If searching for that kind of Oris, check my previous post to this one where I listed the model number of the slightly larger 36mm model. However, the Big Crown range has a lot of variants to choose from. Current models are nice, but pricier than the older ones that I have. Thanks for stopping by, and welcome!<br /><br />@ Ted, yes, better to be busy than not. And the car is behaving itself. Honda, huh? Parts for those are generally more expensive here in Australia than other Japanese makes. Still, they do make a fine automobile. <br />And the SM2 sure does purr along nicely.teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-18031694907569813862019-09-28T13:28:08.722-07:002019-09-28T13:28:08.722-07:00Well, busy isn't terrible.

At least you got in some time with the SM2!

Although I so rarely polish off an actual bottle of liquor these days (not counting box wine! I'm cheap) that I probably wouldn't get too many.<br /><br />I could use it as an excuse to buy more liquor, actually. Done and done.<br /><br />Off to google more pictures of that Skyliner...B McMolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706178983936146307noreply@blogger.com
