Seiko didn’t make its 5126 movement long – from roughly 1967 through 1971 – and it is not seen often in the wild. The 5126 had rather little to do with Seiko’s other powertrains, and it almost appeared Seiko was seeking to foster the difference between the 5126 and its other movements, as the 5126 appeared more in the Swiss style of watchmaking. This calibre has more in common with the Swiss method of using reverser wheels to convert the rotors movement into winding the mainspring. The 5126 was known as a reliable caliber with commendable timekeeping abilities, but its notable weakness was its date change mechanism, which is plastic and known for breakage (that said, the one on the 5126 here works well). As the 5126’s were not made long, finding a donor is a bit trickier than for other models such as the 6106 or 6119. #womw #dcvw #watchesofinstagram #watchporn #watchfam #wristporn #wristgame #watchoftheday #DC #LA #SoCal #redbarcrew #watchuseek #patina #wis #wus #edc #watchlife #watchesforsale #seikolife #seiko #vintageseiko #Japan #seikoholic #seikostyle #seiko5126 #thewatchsteward @seikohats https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxqe2UOnE-Z/?igshid=mp8mcz3xlai3
