I just picked up my first vintage Seiko! Not sure on the exact year, but I know it’s between 1986-1988. Is a SEIKO Sports Moon Phase Chronograph. Such a cool looking watch!

It wasn’t working when I got it, but I put a fresh battery in it and it is keeping time great! The only issue is the chronograph function seems to be broken (the second hand for the chronograph is stuck at the 21 second mark, but the minute tracker spins as it is supposed to)… has anyone encountered this issue before?

Are these quartz movements easy to service? Not sure if it is worth trying to clean the movement to get the chronograph function working properly. Alternatively, I have also looked only to see if I can just replace the movement, but haven’t found any for sale yet (only looked for a couple min though).

Also - the watch fits great! My wrist is just bent in the photo which makes it look tight 😂

Anyone else collect Gallienus Zoo coins? How many different versions are there?

Trying to see how many I can collect, up to 5 different ones now! The panther is probably my favourite currently

I recently have found myself picking up coins with Mt. Argaeus depicted on them. This includes this lot of Cappadocia Didrachms from a recent SAVOCA auction.

When trying to ID them using the RPC database, I discovered there a bunch of variations of Antoninus Pius Didrachms depicting Mt. Argaeus. Is anyone able to narrow down the specific ID of these coins (RPC #)?

I know the third coin depicts Hercules’ club. I haven’t began trying to ID that version yet. I have only been working on the Mt. Argaeus ones.

Thanks in advance!
