History / background:
The Seiko LM was produced from its first year in July 1968 well into the late 1970s. The first models were produced without the LM logo on the dial. From late 1969 onwards, the LM models had the LM logo. The inclusion of the logo was still not consistent and did vary over the years. There were actually 4 variations of this model, including 2 different bracelets and 2 different hand sets, one with inlay and one without. The base movement for the LM is actually the 56 base from King Seiko, which was up market and very sleek (thin) for that period. The 36mm case was rather sizable for that period and still wears nice for the current era in my opinion. The hacking function is very useful to set the time precisely and check the accuracy of the timekeeping. The earlier models of LM were solid casebooks, including the 5606-7000, which provided bedwetter waterproofing compared to screw back case backs of that time.
welcome back today we're having a look
at one of the iconic seiko lord matics
one of the most popular models and in
fact one of the best sellers
these always sell very fast
this case is a 36 by 42 by 6 millimeter
piece
it's very sleek but it certainly doesn't
feel small in fact it rides the wrist
very very nicely this was
my first seiko lord matic model that i
ever bought some years ago and
i didn't really realize how nice it
would ride the wrist it's just balanced
and designed so well look at this case
original crystal you can tell because it
is flat
across the top and it
kind of comes inward just a little bit
this is an original sunburst dial
in fantastic condition i never
pass up a 5606 7000 with such a nice
dial the case hey something to scream
about really is and
these are 19 millimeter logs
this is the original crown nothing here
is a replacement part except for the
strap and the aftermarket buckle here
these are dolphin hands and the hands
are scratched up
this machine's currently running only
about three seconds fast and
i have to give a salute to my watchmaker
for that he's really such an expert in
fact his teacher
came from the james bulova school of
watchmaking
these straps here they fit a
7.25 inch wrist or seven and a half inch
wrist snug thanks for watching vintage
watch street
