Received this little sprocket wheel from Australia last week; it should fix the date setting on my recently acquired Seiko 5606-8110.

The 56 movement series is a great Seiko movement series from the 70s; with the little issue that the date quickset can literally fall apart, as they used a plastic wheel - which reduces wear on the day/date disc, but after 50 years, the gear gives up instead. Wish me and my staking set luck :)

Da Chicago ad Alcatraz, da un cassetto di famiglia a un'asta da 229.900 dollari: il Patek Philippe di Al Capone ha viaggiato per un secolo prima di finire in una vetrina inglese

Time may have moved on, but inside Prithviraj Bhola’s Dehradun watch repair shop, it still ticks by hand. At 86, he repairs vintage mechanical watches—some over 300 years old—preserving a dying craft passed down through generations. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/multimedia/videos/prithviraj-bhola-dehradun-master-watchmaker-y4a80w9f?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #PrithvirajBhola #Dehradun #Watchmaker #VintageWatches

Certina DS from around 1960. Here an early edition with caliber 25-45 movement. The no-date automatic version here is not very common. Most are automatic with date or manual with or without date.

This old Seiko diver is still going strong. I took it swimming on my recent vacation to Norway.
This is a Seiko 6309-7040 from 1977, also known as “turtle”.
I wouldn’t recommend taking a vintage watch swimming unless you have had it serviced and pressure tested in recent years 😅

Enjoying a glimpse of sun through the clouds yesterday on a sailing trip on the #Alster with my vintage #Certina DS-2

Enjoying a few sunny moments on an otherwise choosy and chilly Danish summer day with one of my #vintagewatches: a Certina DS-2 with an unusual petroleum blue dial, looking almost black from this angle in the shade of a cloud.

A lover of vintage watches and clocks, I treated myself to this lovely 1950s Japanese pocket watch.

It was a wonderful sunny spring day here in Aalborg. It actually felt like summer this afternoon 🌞
I felt like taking a picture of one of my #vintagewatches in the sunshine: Certina DS-2 from the 1960s, a well-known sturdy classic. I really enjoy this uncommon dial variant.
