Collectors Market: WTB: Seiko 5718

Also looking for a Seiko 5718-8000, either charcoal or silver dial is okay. If you have one, please include me in negotiations for its sale.

Seiko: If it's anything like the 43999, it's impossible to photograph.

After years of looking for the right 43999 - flawless dial, unfinished case, clean lion - I just got mine, and it's amazing. I'd expect the historical collection homage to be no less spectacular.

Horological Meandering: Very nice choice

Congratulations on your anniversary. Just last month I made almost the same decision for my wife, with the 38mm automatic H2423.
