Managed to pick up a birth month/year watch for myself.
Seiko Grand Quartz.
In much better shape than I am after nearly 50 years. All original bar the strap, but the lad actually saved the original buckle and put it on!Will make its debut in June on the big night.

Thanks H...was on my list the last long while so was happy to finally lay my hands on one in great nick. Your right though, it's a watch with some lovely proportions.
Managed to pick up a grail piece this week too. I had been on the look out for a Sinn 144 the last long while and had missed out on a couple of really nice pieces due to bad timing/other purchases. Saw this Meisterbund IV version on a Japanese site, and being a big believer in what's for you won't pass you by, took the plunge.
It's a limited edition JDM only version, one of 80 made in 2014, Destro pushers, German day wheel, dehumidifing capsule. While I was originally set on an OG model 144 I think this is quirky enough to justify taking the plunge. It was in excellent condition too, and the price was a bargain compared to what people are looking for the basic model on C24 and elsewhere...and with that, I think that's me and Sinn complete...unless of course, I can find an EZM4 at a decent price...

The oul spring forward on some of my leccy watches. The Omega being the easiest with its quickset hour hand. Wearing the century old reliable handcranker on the bottom. 🙂
Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

Just to follow up on this lads.
The strap that was on it was slightly too wide for the buckle. I didn’t want to force it in case it went bang.
So I found a lad on eBay UK called WatchWatchWatch. Does all odd sized straps.
Managed to get one that tapers from 19mm to 14mm, and it fits the buckle with room to spare. 15mm would probably be a more prefect fit, but at least it’s not straining it.
Happy out now.

I've had this 80s Casio for ages, at least ten years. Assumed it was broken but decided to pick up a battery for it.
Works perfectly! The display is crystal clear. Really surprised. The module was minty looking with the case back off.
Think it's from 1984?
Edit - looked it up, an A663
