Hello,
I'm thinning the herd and as there's a bit of love for Seikos & watches in general here I thought I'd see if there was any interest in these. Please PM me if you need more details, pics etc. Everything runs and keeps reasonable time. All prices include UK postage.
Happy to do a deal. I'm on the look out for a pair of 26" MTB disc wheels something along the lines of Hope hubs on Mavic 717 rims (100mm front 135mm rear for regular QR) & a pair of Vicious Cycles 26" disc forks

Seiko 6309 -8070 Helmet automatic mechanical watch. Lovely, unusual looking watch with nice sharp case edges. The crystal is nice and clean with no scratches. No service history but the watch only loses 17s a day (on the wrist all day then on the bed side cabinet over night). The strap isn't signed Seiko but it does suit the watch very well. You can set the day to English days or Roman numerals. £125 posted
I've been asked for more pics and dimensions so here you go folks.
Dimensions (as shown by the scribbles on my hand) are:
visible dial 29mm
case 3-9 o'clock (excluding crown) 37mm
case 12-6 o'clock 44mm
Thickness 12mm
As you can see, the movement is very clean. It looks like there are two sets of service marks on the inside of the case back so the cleanliness of the movement and time keeping would suggest that it's been looked after over the years. The case back is nice and clean with no sign of being mangled by an incompetent watchmaker.
