Noen som har et par 22mm høy kvalitets springbars i dia. 1,78? Gjerne Omega, siden de skal på en.
Har nettopp lest, og anbefaler på det varmeste On the Ball av George Wolff. Handler om Ball Watches og hvordan Webb Ball synkroniserte klokker og tider i USA i jernbanens ungdom. Virkelig morsom bok. 
“After an investigation that covered four months I got my plans concretely formed and put them into operation. Local time inspectors, the best mechanics obtainable, were appointed at the end of every division on the Lake Shore road. Conductors and engineers were required to have their watches examined every two weeks. If the watch fell behind or gained thirty seconds in fourteen days, it had to be repaired or regulated immediately. Small cards were given to engineers and conductors and complete records of their watches were written down in ink at least once in two weeks by the official inspectors.”
Sitat Webb Ball, ca 1910. 30 sek på to uker er respektabelt det. Hadde vært fornøyd med det i dag jeg.
"Just how many local times there were is not known, but the extent of confusion is shown by the fact that Wisconsin had 38 different local times, Illinois 27, and Indiana 23. Prior to 1883, the nation’s railroads were operating on as many as 100 different times! In one large Eastern city there were actually six varying time standards governing arrivals and departures of trains. A traveler going from Maine to California would have to change his watch dozens of times. When it was noon in Chicago it was 12:31 in Pittsburgh, 12:24 in Cleveland, 12:17 in Toledo, 12:13 in Cincinnati, 12:09 in Louisville, 12:07 in Indianapolis, 11:50 in St. Louis, 11:48 in Dubuque, 11:41 in St. Paul, and 11:27 Omaha."

Jeg skammer meg nesten der....
Når det gjelder dette klokkemerket så har mine assosiasjoner kommet for nær BALL-genserne fra 80-tallet...
Som følge av disse pastellfarvede plaggene med prangende logoer har gitt klokkemerket en relasjon til noe som hører hjemme hos Glitter på storsenteret.....

Se her: http://www.watchsleuth.com/seiko5finder/search/?MOD=snk&PRMIN=&PRMAX=
Der finner du alle Seiko 5 modellene - og det er 513 ulike modeller bare med typebetegnelsen "SNK" + nummer.
Takk for linken. Fant dessverre ut at modellen ikke var i rose gold som det så ut på bildene, men at den var i stainless steel. Var ikke like pen da, dessverre.
Seikoen hadde vært strøken om de hadde fjernet dag/dato. Synd at alt for mange dressklokker ødelegges med for mye surr på skiva som er helt unødvendig på en klokke som skal være stilren og enkel.
Grunnen til at det heter Seiko 5:
http://www.seikowatches.com/5sports/seiko5story/why5.html
The watch had five key attributes :
1. Automatic winding
2. Day/date displayed in a single window
3. Water resistance
4. Recessed crown at the 4 o’clock position
5. Durable case and bracelet
Så da er det vel en del av greia å ha dag/dato..
