That's a great looking watch.
That's awesome. Congrats! Probably have another year or two on my wait list. I was told to expect a 2-3 year wait on my simple OP.Just got the call yesterday. I've waited about a year and Joe at BC Clark/ Classen curve called and said it was in. We were driving to Santa Fe/ Taos for Thanksgiving so I swung by on the way and picked it up.

My dad gave me a Seiko Kinetic that he had bought years before and mostly stopped wearing. I wore that watch daily for 2-3 years before the battery/capacitor/whatthehellever gave up the ghost. It sat in a drawer for awhile and then I let @thor447 see if he could get it running again. He actually found factory Seiko parts for it even though that movement had been out of production for years. He cleaned and tuned it up and it was all good. For awhile... I think the Kinetics need to be worn often and I wasn't doing that since it was a keepsake watch. I think that if you let the "battery" run down repeatedly they just don't last. It now sits back in the keepsake section of the drawer.My father had one just like it.
