[ricardopalamino]

The First is a 7009-8129 . Looks good in person and has a comfortable Beads of Rice bracelet in great shape...

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Second is a Seiko Silverwave Z quartz.....on its way...

I like the silverwave dial and case but not sure on having the entire caseback text stamped into the bezel. Maybe just the model name?

I like the bezel stamping but never realized until I looked closer at this one all the info that is stamped on it .

I like the mesh band on it and the case resembles the Seiko 6139 chronograph "Helmet " or "Darth "Vader"..I've attached a pic of that model . 

Also , I like the Silverwave line . I have a few in quartz and automatic .

Those 6139's yours?

The Helmet is one of my mini grails along with a Pogue.

Yes they are . The one with the Herring bone bracelet was a basket case when I got it  . It took me a while to learn to learn how it works , put it together , and make the small adjustments to get it to work and reset properly . I picked the other one up recently for parts or repair...$56... A case tube for one of the pushers must have been replaced a little crooked , because the pusher got stuck each time you pushed it. I reamed and polished the inside of the pusher and it was good to go .

 I've attached a pic of my Pogue . It's a water resist . They first came out with water proof , shortly after with water resist , and then no markings .

 

I've also attached some pics of a couple of other Seiko Silverwave models . I have some quartz models stashed away someplace .

I have one of those Silver Wave analog/digitals myself... Same model as yours. I bought it new, but have forgotten what year that was.

       Hi Gryf, is yours still working ? I got mine earlier this year for around $100 more or less .

You can get the production year and month by the serial number... I think the link below will tell you for most Seiko's with the 4 digit hyphen 4 digit = xxxx-xxxx = caliber - case #....and the serial # , both of which should be on the case back .

Hi, Ricardo -

Yes, my Silver Wave analog/digital is still working like new. Funny though, when I traced the numbers using the site you mentioned, it came up as "unknown". FYI, the caliber/case numbers are H239-5040 and the serial is 0D1496. I notice now that the analog dial is very slightly different from yours. Aside from that, they appear to be identical.

Thanks for the reference,

Gryf

Hpwzit Gryf ,  OK then . That production calculator didn't work for our Seiko Digitalis [ I'm surprised ] , so here's another source that lists your model as 1980..

 

Have you got a pic ? I'd like to see it .........Laters , Louis

@ Ricardopalamino -

 

Here's the Seiko in question, along with another digital I bought in 1979 or so (the gold one):
