Seiko A964-4A00 (black wristtalk)

Post21 Mar 2015, 23:10

I bought this in fairly dirty shape. I cleaned it up to sell on, but I have since fallen in love with it and will probably keep it. The Seiko talking watches are a favourite of mine. I love the silver version in particular... Now I love the all black version too. :grin1:

This one is the Japanese/English speaking version. The English female voice is different to my other (English/Spanish) versions. It is clearly a different person they have recorded. Also, the clarity of the play back is not as good on this version, but it is just as loud. There is quite a big kink in the bracelet, but it can be popped back straight easily and is barely noticeable when worn.

Great clean up and fantastic photos, you'll need to give me some tips for the library, I never get shots as good as that. I like the use of the black wrist 'c' whatever they are called.

Thanks mate. :-D

I am still experimenting with pictures. I don't find it that easy to be honest. Sometimes they look nice, other times they look drab and boring.

My method: I use my phone camera with a sheet of white paper as the background. I try and take around 10 shots from the same angle (all slightly different) and then pick the best one for that angle. I took over a hundred shots of this watch and and at the end I selected the ones you see above. Once the pictures are chosen I crop and possibly colour correct in an app before posting. That's it really. :-)
