Seiko "Spork" - SRP043K

...or maybe the "Sinn Seiko"?

This model did not have a long production run. Maybe there was some back channel diplomacy between Sinn and Seiko and they stopped producing it on Sinn's request? The similarities to the 857 are easy to see.

Sporting a 4R15 caliber, a mix of 7S26 and 6R15 (it has the main spring from these), it has a nice power reserve of over 50 hours.

It is a very heavy watch. Big case and a massive bracelet that it shares with the SKA series divers (lovingly known as the BFK, Big eFfing Kinetic).

The lume on the Spork is just spectacular. It charges with the slightest light and illuminates the markers for a whole night.

As you can see, mine is a bit beat up, but I love it dearly. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Seiko "almost Pogue" from 1974

Hi Seiko community!

It's a bit sad that this community only has one post in it, so I thought I can double that. ๐Ÿ˜…

Here's my Seiko 6139-6002 yellow dial, which is not quite "the" Pogue (that would be an American market -6005), but close enough for me.

Have a few more Seikos in my boxes, so maybe I'll post some of them in the next weeks.

I've been a Seiko collector for quite a few years now and miss the action on IG - but refuse to give Meta any more data about me. I stopped posting there 3 years ago, still keeping contact with the Seiko collectors, though.

I've been off the Watch forums for longer than that, as I invested too much time in watches and really needed to invest more time in my young family (and still do).

Any other Seiko fans still around?
