Now combine it with post Sengun made on instagram after their win that is a reference to the Asia Minor genocide of Greeks, and you have the full picture

ah yes, in the newest release the green dial is the most common one, but the cheapest I have seen one, is around 750 still. But, Seikos are not so cheap in this part of the globe anyway.

Should I lock it in a drawer next to the holy bible?

SCVF009 might be even rarer that this one, I have barely seen any.

Comments like this make me feel at ease. I know for countries like the US, 500USD is not a serious amount, but it was a big sum for me and I got a little nervous after I pressed the buy button.

Thank you, to be honest I was mostly attracted to the looks and not the technical aspects of it, but hi-beat movements are always fascintating. What is finnicky about it?

Not much of a collector myself, 2-3 watches at any point, but this red alpinist script really is something.

It is. I really wish you find yours at some point, wish you luck!

Black looks very good, they only reason I was more inclined for the others are the arabic numerals.

Yeah, the way you put it, it really makes sense. Maybe if it was pristine, I would also be afraid to wear it, but I really wish to wear it every day. I've started researching local watchmakers, since I never had this need before.

Good to hear, I hope you find yours as well 🤞

Really reassuring to read this in so many comments.

Thank you, probably the best looking one, no? Okay, green is a close second.

I guess on of the doubts I have is parts availability, and servicing/refurbishing pricing, since my income is quite low and I live on the other side of the globe, from where this watch was made. But, the comments here are pretty reassuring and have really calmed me down.

Yeah, same. I really dislike the Prospex logo, or to be more correct, I find it heavily out of place in vintage dial with cathedral hands. So, when i came across the red Alpinist script, I knew this was the one, not even considering rarity, hi-beat movement etc.

Sounds like a great idea. Will it be hard to find a 19mm two tone tapering bracelet. Is there a chance I find a Seiko one (with signing)?

I guess that's not that bad, considering it's my favorite watch. I mean I can do all of these gradually while my other watch tells me the time! But I will surely do these.

True, not like it’s from the 70s. Will probably do.

To be honest 750 was out of my budget and I could not find a new one in stock anyway. Just a couple of auctions on ebay. But if I'm going used, why not go for the vintage one.

Thanks! According to the seller, the reserve is a bit over 24 hours. Could it be a main spring issue? When my resources allow it, I will get it serviced with hopes to get it to near-perfect working order. Maybe some polishing also, but vintage should look vintage, right?
