SeikoKid in the USA

[Seiko Kid]

So, I've decided to take an extended holiday to America

Along with checking out some of the amazing sites this country has to offer I figured I would see if any fellow watch collectors were up for a quick hello?

Today I had the honor of catching up with Bruce Wegmann. As I am in the San Diego area for the start of my trip and staying with my friend who is also a devoted collector

Soon I plan to head up the east coast and then later on try and get myself along the famous Route 66 landing in NY

Meeting Bruce today was an amazing experience and I had the privilege to see some of his beautiful collection - Bruce, Thank you very much for today and also for letting me wear one of your iconic models!

We're visiting New York in Oct, is there anywhere in NY to hunt for watches?

[Seiko Kid]

Over the last few days I have been making my way north from San Diego up to San Fransisco via the Sequoia national park
LA is a shithole , but I did manage to view John Foggertys Star on Hollywood Boulevard!
Earlier today I checked out a few watch and thrift stores in Central California and came across this little beauty - not sure if it works yet? but the find itself was unbelievable !

[richard_uk]

Nice find! Get it on eBay listed as Blade Runner watch and see the bids go crazy

[BENRUS]

If you find yourself near the Gateway Arch in St Louis MO....contact me
Nice watch finds!

I have a NOS module for your new Microma that just needs a new lcd display (tested, and worked with a good lcd) if you find yours is scrap...Its just collecting dust here. Also have a few Seiko watches your welcome to

Nice tattoo

[Seiko Kid]

Glad you like it guys. I'm stoked that its screen correct !

Benrus , I plan to pass through St Louis in a few weeks so I'll certainly give you a shout - maybe we can test this one I have because I have no means of doing that at present

[Seiko&Casio Lcd's]

It's the chrono version and black/gold so it is screen correct, i can imagine that you are excited about that.
I really hope it works, i'm sure you will get some help from a fellow forum member there in the US.

And have a great holiday for the rest of the time, seikokid

Slowly have been working my way up the west coast. Across Canada and am at present spending a few days in NYC

San Fran, Seattle proved fruitless. Calgary got me a cheapie digi - wasent in Toronto long enough to look

Unfortunalty my visit has co incided with the hottest weather here in some time and walking around Manhatten has been somewhat exhausting

I did manage to find a few gems but that was all that I could find, no Casios or Seikos at all :(



I bought this in Calgary for $1 just for the fun of it

[Kasper]

I like the citizens.... But they are hard to repair if they are not starting.
Let me tell ya that we to have very hot weather at the moment. A few days over 30 degrees and that's exceptional,

[BENRUS]

Thanks for visiting SeikoKid!

Benrus - It was an absolute honour to meet up and check out St Louis in the best way possible

[Seiko Kid]

Just spend a few days in Olkahoma with the much repected Casionerd!

We went on a great little watch hunting exposition this afternoon and came back both with some gems....



Am presently half way through my Route 66 drive and the coffee is getting so bad at the diners I've moved into orange juice :(

[Seiko Kid]

[Kasper]

damn, all those treasures just lying there. We have to make a "joined members of the board trip" to the states to get them
I see you have a great time there, Seiko Kid

[Andy_from_Perth]

great thread, so jealous..

that pair of stunning seiko lcds in the last watch pic, whats the model number on those - i quite like them

[Seiko Kid]

Hey Andy,

The 2 watches that are the same in the picture are M159 5039's,
they were used in part with advertising for one of the James Bind films ( Moonraker I think? )

it's the next model up from the 0634 5009 ( basically it has a 24hr stopwatch )

I'm halfway but not a damn Seiko insight :(

[Seiko Kid]

On my way to Vegas from the Midway point I hit a few known landmarks - The old Route was
mainly freeway now...

Meteor creator


Grand Canyon


Hoover Dam


Vegas ( highlight of Vegas was the DW-290 )
