The Seiko NH38 is what my Momentum MH30 dive watch has.

My Seiko Recraft has a caliber 7S26C. 

I have no idea which is better.  The Recraft has a date window, the Momentum doesn’t.   I’ve read that they are both good movements. 

I don’t know what it is about automatic, or manual wind, watches that intrigues me...   they’re less accurate than quartz watches, they require more service....   I guess it’s the very fact that it doesn’t require a battery...   that it’s a tiny mechanical machine...   I dunno.  It’s not like there’s some sort of panache that comes with wearing a low-end automatic Seiko! 

I won this Seiko Sea Urchin for $37 US in an auction yesterday!



The bezel insert is all scratched to hell, but it looks like it's in fine shape aside from that.  I believe that I can replace the bezel insert without a great degree of knowledge. I've been looking at some of the gorgeous ceramic inserts they sell here. I could turn it into a Pepsi or a Coke or a Batman! Or a Kermit!



But I was also taken with this striking black lumed piece:



Anyway, the watch is coming from Spain and probably won't be here for a month. So I'll have lots of time to decide.
