@@jimmymontoro9062 very true - the only problem for using them every day is the water resistance as the battery latch is often not good isolated

@@henrigraber2741 thanks for the hint, ill check out pictures of the model!

@@spitfireaace yes the glas was replaced with a new original Seiko spare part glas. I bought this one from a Vintage Seiko expert watchmaker in Rome who reviews all the watches before he sells them

that is true. The Quartz technology was very exclusive in the market when it was still new.

yes I really regret that I sold it! 😢

@@watchesareanachronistic1467it does look good on your wrist, I like small watches, I feel relieved when I wear them for days compared to bigger ones.

thank you for you comment - yes I have some new. I plan to make videos but lastly I was too busy 😞

@@watchesareanachronistic1467Can't wait, your collection is top notch.

I would estimate (for Germany) around 250-300€

@@watchesareanachronistic1467 Thank you.

thank you very much! It is still in my collection- happy new year for you!

I'll push your s*** in.

this is the site: uhrforum.de

already changed 👍

I sold my golden one unfortunately! I wished I had not!

yes they were dissembled and serviced. The parts were cleaned and assembled again. Same the Seiko Quartz Chronos of the 7a27/7a38 series in my Vlog. Original parts are difficult to find

@@watchesareanachronistic1467 hmm so quartz also need to be serviced, like new modern grand seiko quartz

e verdade! Muito obrigado pelo comentario!

Thank you! Yes I will definitely make new content and I have already reviews in preparation. However, at the moment I lack a little bit time due to the job

Have you pushed in the crown to change the date and day? Push the hand in hard to adjust both the day and date, push it in lightly and you can change the date alone. Let me know if that works.

I would say 150-220 USD

these watches are very robust and timeless! Plus it is a wonderful memory in your case! Thank you for your comment!

I am sorry to hear this - maybe better watch channels of English native speakers. Surely you learned many foreign languages much better than me 👍

thank you for your comment! - yes the reflections of the crystal and the dial is special! 🙏🏻

Hi Michael thank you for your answer to my video! Isn‘t it strange that these King and Grand Quartz all look very minimalist and similar but every piece has its own little detail which makes the character? If I see a good one I mostly almost cannot resist

@@watchesareanachronistic1467 True! Did you notice that hidden ingenious complication for adjusting 2 seconds front or backwards by turning the crown? Makes you wonder why that isn’t standard these days…

@@watchesareanachronistic1467 And the inside of the bezel is polished like a mirror to reflect those sparkling indices. King Seiko did put so much LTC in their watches that you can look for hours in admiration and still discover new details.

@@michaelmasimo1506 yes that was very innovative. The good thing is that these gems are still underrated because of the ‚evil‘ Quartz word.

Yes, I also do not let them make the refurbishing of the cases in the revision of the newer watches. Regarding the rally bands, I used to have one on a Mondia electric…very nice 70s style with those bands! Thank you for your comment!

😆

I am not a friend of the way to adjust the date in this movement by pulling the crown. I am always worried to destroy the movement by doing that too often. As I wear these vintage watches only occasionally I mostly dont put the right date

@@watchesareanachronistic1467 well I guess that there’s that way to do it.

@@watchesareanachronistic1467 Still better than my 1481 movement Geneve, with the push date, mine works but is reputed to be fragile.

Thank you! Glad that you liked it 🙏🏻👍

This is not good of course. However, not everybody is same and not every member of hotel staff is criminal... It's a good idea, though, to keep every valuable in the locked luggage. Never had any issues in decades of trips all over the world.

The 7040 is still here; the 7049 I swapped against a 7038 🙂

Interesting - I is indeed marked on the base as 7040 - maybe the dial was changed then? Did Seiko do this consistent?

@@watchesareanachronistic1467 any chance you have a spare bracelet link you want to sell? I'm needing one to bump up the size on my 7049.

@@watchesareanachronistic1467 wow, good choice on the 7038. You need to upload a detailed video on that one.

@@mex3000cf unfortunately not. They are really hard to get!

Hello Fabrice - thank you for subscribing my channel! I am not too active but I try to show the most interesting watches I have here. I am not a collector in the real meaning but I love to wear those watches as it gives me a little bit the feeling of traveling to the past and iconic styles. All the best to France from Germany!

The dial is seldom indeed. However, I never saw it in a grand quartz until now

@@watchesareanachronistic1467 you're right. I've never met one with this special dial in this line. But this hobby is a journey so I hope one day haha

​​@@hieubeo1202 hello i have one if you are still looking for it, from the Philippines.

I bought this together with the frosted dial - I liked both but this one is more interesting indeed. Unfortunately the frosted one was too strongly polished so I sold it

Glad that you liked it! 😊👍🙏🏻 thank you so much for your comment!

yes, japanese watches are great! ⛩🎌

no sorry it is not for sale at the moment

i have one for sale, do you have an instagram?

The single quartz was accurate to five seconds a month, and the twin quartz were accurate to ten seconds a year! You have your opinion and you are entitled to it. But Seiko makes watches for every budget. Some are super affordable and some are extremely expensive. But to disrespect these as simply “battery operated Seiko’s” shows ignorance. That is my opinion and I am as entitled to mine as you are to yours. Oh BTW do you also dismiss the top of line Tesla as “battery operated”?

@@tonyr669 true. You can’t compare these beautiful watches to most modern quartzes. These were overenginered jeweled movements, that still works very Well, after 40+years.

Rolex Oysterquartz my friend….

Cool feature! I didnt know this indeed! Thank you! 🙏🏻👍

no, I decided to keep it and let it be fixed sometime. I already invested too much in it so I would not get it back selling it. So, its the best keeping it and waiting, i think.

@@watchesareanachronistic1467 I understand completely as I've been there with another German chronograph. But the notion of 'sunk cost' from repairs and any non-monetary energy you spent aren't recoverable thus irrelevant to your decision :) Best of luck my friend, and keep us updated!
