To be more clear, calibre 6309 dates from 1976 to 1988, so mine is a later one.
Calibre 6602, my two hand-wound Seikos, are 1960s, so again, my two are at the end of production, and your 2206 is from 1971 until 1980, and is a very well regarded small movement. Have you dated it accurately?

June 1975 - its a birth year watch for me.

A YOB Seiko for me would be rare, unaffordable, and not pure Seiko anyhow; their first fully in-house design was the Marvel in 1956, three years too late!

Oh bum, that's a shame... Have to say though, some of Seiko's older stuff is actually very elegant and easy on the eye.

(Although not so much with the ladies' watches as they've a tendency to be very tiddly - especially the ones with an 11-series movement.)

 

[DCBassman]

Indeed, some of my Mum's old watches are all but unreadable small.

A 23 / 25mm case (sans crown) seems to be the sweet spot for me, but please don't ask me what the date is...

My wife has a 4205-014B Seiko Lady Diver. It needs a crystal with a magnifying pip really, and when I reset it for date, I have to use a magnifier!

Which is why I don't bother setting them generally.

I generally have never bothered with the birth year stuff but inadvertently have onone in my collection. A Tudor I picked up a couple of years ago is hallmarked for the year I was born.

Mine was serendipity - I actually bought the watch for its funky blue & white dial.

Been admiring the JLC Reverso for a while and was lucky to get this today, taking my watch collection up to three (that includes a Garmin).

That's a lovely watch @Regular.Cyclist . My boss when I was working had one, it was his father's so from the twenties. How old is yours? Would love one but bit rich for me.

Thank. It’s a 2016 model I picked up in a private sale.

I was wearing mine today.

Missed out on a funky blue sunburst dial Lanco today.

Was adulting for the parental and totally forgot about the auction.

Poodoo.
