Nice Watch!

Nice Watch!

Nice pick-up, John! Were that Badboi in good helth!

Dang! I haven't even thought about this watch in, well, years.

I just checked google shopping; the only Transoceans listed for sale are on ebay. It appears that Seiko dropped this watch sometime in the past.

I was living in Japan when they introduced the Transiocean line.

For whatever reasons, it didn't sell well in Japan as it disappeared from display cases really quickly and since then has been scarce on Japanese secondary markets.

Not clear to me why, fickle tastes of the Japanese public. Same thing happened to Orange Shogun and SARB037. Yahoo Auctions Japan has none at the moment.

Chrono24 has two, both chronographs, with quite high prices for 8r28 pieces.

What’s a trans-ocean? Is that an ocean that identifies as a river?

Hehehehehe!

They do have something in the Presage line called Ocean Traveller. Quite a nice looking watch.

I have only seen it here.

Nice tip Pete - never heard of these until now. The SARF013 is really nice:



Pricey for a 6Rxx though (AUD$2k).

Seiko still make some nice watches. I recently got another Alpinist.
