how wrong could i be when i said my 1964 Seiko ensemble was complete
last week i mentioned in the post about my newly purchased 1964 Grand Seiko that i thought i had purchased all the 1964 Seiko's that i wanted.
how wrong could i be.
only a couple of days later i came across a Seiko 5 Sportmatic in original condition for a very good price. i was aware that the Seiko 5 range had recently had a 50th anniversary so checked to find that the range was first released in 1963 making an april 1964 version a pretty early model.
it has a black dial with very interesting design on it, much better than a plain one. the hidden crown and day date is quite advanced for the period, several years before Omega had a day date watch.
the condition in the pics was so good that i couldnt pass it up so its on its way to me as we speak.
now i will say again ' i think i have completed the Seiko 1964 ensemble', the question is, am i right?
heres a couple of pics taken by the seller

i'm running out of options...
i'm running out of options Seiko wise. i must research their divers models to see what was around in 64. the dial was probably the deciding factor for me. unusual. best G
However ....
.. they also had a veryyyyyyy nice 1969 automatic chronograph Sportstimer with a blue dial :-) ... almost made you wish you were born in 1969 ??? eerrr ? Bim

Your 64 theme continues to grow..!! I also have a new piece arriving tomorrow....one that I have considered for some time then thought I would get it at the weekend:) Speak soon dude, Andy.
Nope, you are wrong. There will be more '64s
That\'s my opinion and I\'m sticking with it. Mike
hehe you are probably right,...
hehe you are probably right, but i think i have the most important Seiko's now with 2 from Olympics, a GS, a 5 and a simple 66 calibre. best G
