    I’ve had this Seiko diver watch almost 20 years now. upload_2021-3-26_12-5-47.jpeg

    Found last week, a 1979/1980 Seiko 5.

    Face appears to have been white but has started to age with a handsome patina. Runs like an absolute top. Came with a dark olive NATO band but I swapped it for this vintage expansion...so smooth and comfortable I can barely feel it.

    Today's find, an older chrono. Had to reset the dials but they all work. Not familiar with Structure, anyone know of it?

    Not sure if it is one in the same as the watch, but Structure was a men's clothing line from the 90's. (Marty McFly's puffy vest was Structure IIRC)

    I know they merged with the Express sometime about 20 yrs ago.

    I am pretty sure they have been defunct since not long after the merger.

    Dropped my Invicta diver the other day. Figured if I'm going to get a new one I'm finally getting something that looks how I want. Should be here Tues.

    hmmmm....
    nice watch, but either you day or your date is incorrect.
    Yes, today is Monday, but it's the 23rd. :think002:
    The last Monday the 24th was in May.:confused:

    Gotcha! Just seeing who is paying attention.

    I wouldn't kick that watch outta bed for giving me the wrong date . Its a beauty! Actually, I never pay attention to that function on any of my watches except for my late Father's Bulova . He was a stickler for time/ date syncopation.

    1979/1980 model, I think. One of the better $40 I've ever spent.

    Got a pic of the Bulova?

    Arrived this afternoon. Said to have a standard Seiko movement.

    Matte face, beigeish-yellow (faux aged) appointments, convex crystal...I like it.

    I'm no expert on dive watches but I'm very impressed by the lume. Suede (?) band is chunky but nice, I'll try a few different ones though.
