Very nice! Great combo - I only wish those older Seiko 6138's had bigger lugs.

Did you have that case refinished? Looks like new. My 0030 case (1976) was worse for wear when I got it, even though the movement had a complete service. Even after meticulous polishing, it doesn't look as good as yours.

Thanks! Mine has been polished with hands, pushers, and crown replaced. I knew this when I bought it because I wanted a bullhead to wear. If it was all original in this condition I'd be worried I'd hurt the value. It's wickedly accurate too. Bullheads are a blast to wear.

That looks pretty awesome! What are the specs on that bad boy?

That Seiko Bullhead is just stunning. Even so with leather.

After some time looking for one, I finally snagged a fully restored piece yesterday from a watch restorer who's been working on Seikos these past three decades. And his expertise is Seiko Bullheads. The one I got looks NOS! Couldn't have asked for more. And the replaced parts - dial, crown, pushers, were all accurate pieces. The only non-original part is the steel bracelet. It didn't come with the fishbone bracelet, but the one got is a period correct original Seiko steel one. This Bullhead is real keeper.

This is my first vintage, first Seiko, and first non-Swiss timepiece. It's now my favorite!

I received this Hamilton Jazzmaster 42mm Quartz Chrono for Christmas 2009, and wasn't terribly thrilled with it, for my own nutty reasons (it's objectively the nicest, most accurate watch I own, regardless of said nutty objections). It was on a nice black alligator strap, which just isn't my style, so the watch sat unloved until I finally took some time to pick out a strap that dressed it down a bit. Here it is on a green DeBeer Sport Leather Chrono strap. I'm still not that into chrono's, but I finally enjoy wearing this watch regularly, which is doubly good since my wife can finally see me wear the gift she went to the trouble of getting me.



Cheers,
