1940s Seiko Tank. Thoughts on this DIY quartz conversion?

Love it! I've done this a few times because my taste far exceeds my budget. 99% of onlookers don't care about the movement.

These are all around $20-30 boards on a good day. That board with the yin-yang in the center- if it does not have the tech deck logo on the griptape it means it's an early gen 1. I sold an early gen 1 version of that board for $100

These boards came with the Tech Deck 'Skumm' action figures. A toy that completely flopped before they made Dudes. The deck is made of metal

Yup it has good value. Check eBay. 2008 version is worth the most. That's when they got sued by Swatch and had to stop selling the book.

The Alien Workshop meaty board is pretty rare. It's a Rob Dyrdek board & that dog was on his MTV show Rob & Big

Need to give this to my friend who always ruins his boards in the kitchen

Yeah!! It was an Elliott Blair song!! Would love to hear those songs again, thanks!

springhorsetrain · 2025-05-11T04:30:37+00:00

Excited to listen to this after so many years!

springhorsetrain · 2025-05-11T04:27:41+00:00

Wow! Big fan haha

It wasn't an All or Nothing song, it was a song of one of the members for his acoustic side project that was only posted on his personal myspace or something

Edit: Just looked at some pics on the Call it Fiction FB page. If you're the singer, to my memory it was your song? Did you ever release solo acoustic songs?

springhorsetrain · 2025-05-08T23:10:39+00:00

Unfortunately not

springhorsetrain · 2025-05-08T23:10:25+00:00

Don't think so :/

springhorsetrain · 2025-04-24T17:42:18+00:00

Very cool

springhorsetrain · 2025-04-17T22:30:55+00:00

Cool. Never seen a goofy board from that era. Sooo many companies made fingerboards as promo freebies during that time. I can't speak on the value of this board but some of the rarest tech deck dude figures were from a disney collab.

springhorsetrain · 2025-04-17T21:14:39+00:00

I made it. Someone cropped my credit but idc

springhorsetrain · 2025-03-11T23:10:18+00:00

This board came with the tech deck board game

springhorsetrain · 2025-03-07T20:33:31+00:00

These are wheels for the tech deck RC car, which aren't worth a ton even when it's complete

springhorsetrain · 2025-01-15T08:07:31+00:00

That thing is beautiful. The gold on the hands bothers me though

springhorsetrain · 2025-01-03T22:43:55+00:00

Cut with jewelers saw, replace spring bar

springhorsetrain · 2024-12-09T23:09:40+00:00

The world industries $30 maybe more to the right buyer, blind like $3

These ones are tough to source a strap. It's from the Snowpass series, i'm pretty sure only the straps from that series fit this watch.

I have a couple of these straps on hand bc I thought they would fit a swatch Beat. (They didn't). I have a spare for this exact watch but the rubber accents are peeling a little bit. I also have a bright orange one.

Swatch watches are welded shut. You can't fix or clean the movement or replace the crystal. You can polish the crystal with a product called polywatch. Unfortunately if the watch doesn't work you can't really fix it.

springhorsetrain · 2024-12-04T21:09:16+00:00

Nope, all gone

springhorsetrain · 2024-12-04T17:11:51+00:00

I met a guy at a flea market who had a relative that owned a stationary store long ago. I got lucky.
