Pro Restored Seiko Bell-Matic 4006-6021 Watch For Sale
There are few things as sweet as getting a newly restored vintage watch. You get the pleasure of nostalgia, along with that special sense of personal touch from a master restorer's handiwork. It is a good thing as Martha Stewart would say. Bob Thayer is in the business of repairing, restoring, and modifying all types of watches, with a bit of a specialty on Seiko watches. He has something special for sale which I thought would interest you. This watch is one of the Seiko Bell-Matics. A mechanical alarm watch that was extremely popular "back in the day." They are no longer made, and while these watches can be found, so few are in good condition. In Bob's capable hands, you get a stunning vintage watch ready for daily duty - with a loud alarm. The watch is available restored, for $325. Here is a intro into the watch by Bob:*Below content written by Bob Thayer for aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer*The Seiko Bell-Matic was produced from late 1966 to 1978. They were made using "4006" automatic move

Consolidating 5167 and BLNR for 5164?
I may now have an opportunity to get a 5164... and wanted to solicit a few opinions on here.If I were to get the 5164, I would sell both my 5167 and BLNR to fund it. With prices on the latter two being very nice these days, I would have to add a few thousand in cash for the 5164.The 5167 currently gets a lot of wear, whereas it's somewhat hard for me to fit the BLNR in my rotation. With a suit, I mostly rotate between the 15202 and 5167, and on weekends I prefer to wear the Hulk. I'm also not a huge fan of the PCLs on the BLNR, so a culmination of those factors means that it gets worn seldomly (even though I love the way it looks.)With the 5164, I feel like I can get the best of both worlds - a super comfortable travel time piece that can work with a suit, to shorts and a t-shirt. Plus, it's actually more under the radar than the Rolex while travelling. It also has a cleaner look compared to the 5167 without the date window.Would others around here do it?

16710 Pepsi or BLNR ?
Hello!Long time lurker, posting for help and ideas...I have a modest Rolex collection of a Ceramic Daytona (black face 116500), Milgauss 116640 GV, 11610 Submariner and 15210 Date (wife has stolen it, fits her well : ). Looking to add another, and I've been focusing on a 16710 Pepsi GMT or a more modern 116710BLNR. While I enjoy both watches for different reasons, I am leaning toward the 16710 Pepsi. I like the slender lugs of the 16710 vs the chunkier BLNR lugs. But, I love the blue and black of the BLNR. I am 5' 10, 155lbs, and I have a 6.5 wrist. The newer thicker lugs of Rolex Sport watches seem just a bit heavy on me. Rolex 36mm watches work (love and had a 114270 Explorer), as do the 40mm watches (with slender lugs, but haven't had a 40mm new Rolex with thicker lugs, other than the Milgauss which seems to be in between).If anyone else has gone through the thick vs thin lug debate I'd be grateful for the help. Thanks!

I'm a Happy Big Brother
So happy for my brother, he's 5 years younger than me and I got him into watches, more specifically, Rolex. Today, after his first year in the family business, lots of work, working extra hours and making important decisions, he bought his grail. I feel a big part of this since I helped him pick out the watch and making the purchase process smooth. So happy I'll see him enjoying his grail for many years to come. This is what it's all about. I'll take some more photos with my yachtmaster after he gets every one of those stickers off. Merry Christmas TRFSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
