I end the year with the other Grand Seiko I've recently acquired. It's practically the same as the 6146
except that this only has a date feature. Here's a nice reference article for the Grand Seiko:
 |
| The 6145-8000 has only a date feature. |
 |
| Close up of the dial shows the imperfections. |
 |
| Side view showing the signed crown |
 |
| The other side view |
 |
| The case back shows a medallion in great condition and the serial number indicates this watch to have been manufactured in July 1968. |
 |
| The obligatory wrist shot |

| Another wrist shot with this classic Grand Seiko |
 |
| This watch is powered by a 6145A movement that runs at 36,000 beats per hour. I haven't really timed the watch but it has been quite reliable in terms of both accuracy and power reserve. |
This is definitely an everyday watch or beater for those who prefer the term. I can say the same for the 6146 I featured previously. These two just made my rotation more difficult with the selection getting even more crowded. That means lesser wrist times for other watches but I think I can manage; at least with the favorites in my collection.
