    omg! do you sleep on the floor? when you have time perhaps you could photograph them in closer sections so we could recognise them -looks to be a lot of nice stuff there that is an obsession !

    Hee hee hee!

    I only put them on the bed to take the pic (It took a while!!)

    They mostly live in a slim drawer file cabinet (30 drawers!) I can't seem to find pics of it and have to go to work shortly, I'll see if I can find them when I get home



    Cheers, John

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I feel so much better. My group of circa 60 watches feels perfectly acceptable, now.

    Cheers, C

    Welcome. That's quite a gathering

    Hi cp

    It says on the back 'MERCURY TIME, NY, U.S.A.'

    It still works, I believe it's a mid 1970 watch

    Ah, Cool. Great to see it still works . Yes, mid 70s was LEDs last stand before the LCDs came along.
    It looked like one of these; though never seen one in gold colour.

    hi John -i see you have posted your Seikos in the appropriate forum - maybe you could post all of those close ups [and it may take some time ] in this one place also to stop us having to take a trip round the forum for your various genres - love the Seikos btw you have cheered us all up by the realisation that perhaps we are quite normal by comparison
