Fratello On Air: Mike Talks To Nick From DC Vintage Watches About Vintage Seiko

What a treat! I concur. I’m getting a huge kick from the ’66 JDM 6619-9010 currently on my wrist. Cheers Nick. Cheers Michael.

Very interesting discussion. I have a couple of Seiko dive watches – one allegedly a 62MAS ,but of questionable authenticity- but have recently been very taken with the Seiko Alpinist with its green dial. Quite how you use the compass internal rotating bezel, I’m not sure but I think it’s a cracking watch and surprised it not get a mention.

Mike, when you talk about an under the radar watch, in my opinion, the late 70’s Pulsar quartz divers have to be included. The company was taken over by Seiko and the build quality is incredibly high. Plus, prices are crazy cheap. What’s not to like.
