Seiko 7A38 - by the numbers

Not in the best of condition (pity about the discoloured sub-dials) but still the only example of a 7A38-724A SAA086J I've ever seen:

Anorak fact: This is the only model in the 7A38-724x / -725x / -726x sub-range to use this 719L dial. All other variants use 718L dials.

Makes a pleasant change, now the temperatures have dropped a little, to be able to wear something on a leather strap once again ....

My 7A38-7060 stainless 'beater' on TSS Watchworx Aerosport Mk2 strap, this lovely sunny afternoon:

I'd tell you but i've just drowned!

Bezel is in reverse

O.K., so this is a little  and a somewhat belated reply to an old post (from page 5 of this thread), but I couldn't resist. 

James was replying to my question about the bezel markings / quarter markers on a Kamatz 517000 I'd posted.

Kamatz is now defunct as a watch brand. Their '7A38's were produced by C.G.H. (a.k.a Seiko France) for René Attias.

Their current brand name is Navitec. Today I received a promotional email newsletter from them. From that I found these:

Bezel moves. Yema doesn't. Gotta be a French thing!  in Vegas.

Yema bezels do rotate - except on the N81X26, which I did warn you about, Paul.

Touché, mon ami. 

I briefly wore my latest incoming, the iconic 7A28-7001 'Ripley' from the film Aliens:

it was only briefly though. I switched to a yellow g-shock to match my yellow Tour De France jersey when I went for a ride after lunch. 

A Giugiaro 7A28-7050 'cyclist's Speedmaster' must be next on your shopping list, Simon ? 

Negatory Paul.

Going to spend some time fixing up the 'work in-progress' projects I've had on the go for 'some' time now.

Not one that gets a lot of wrist time, admittedly.  One of my two almost pristine examples of the 'gunmetal' 7A38-725A SAA082J

Typical Monday`s watch: the 7A28-702A.

Not worn this in a while, a good condition 7A28-7040

How about, "What Were You Wearing On Location" Ergo; Sir Alan's downtown London above.

Or 7A38-706A at some boat in California. 

Still surprised when I look down and see this Fairly heavy but comfortable.

Wearing my 7A28-7030 again.

This has had very little wrist time, and I feel a bit bad 'cause the gold lustre of the dial set off against the red/blue of the bezel and the really excellent condition case and bracelet warrants more.

Some bling today - one of my 7T34's.

Two weeks and no Yemas! I'll fix that. N8 1X2 6.Installed a Speidel raised rib leather strap. And I buffed the acrylic crystal by hand with Brasso! Came out great!

Out and about with my 7A28-703B this afternoon.

the sub-dials are a really subtle colour.

I suggest you guys make the most of this.

It's not a sight you'll see very often, nor likely to see ever again ....

Yours truly wearing a 7A38 on a NATO !  The postman just delivered the package about half an hour ago, and this is how it came.

My newest incoming (and first of a few) RACER J39 (by Orient) J39908-70. 

Now, where's that strap tool ? 

Although things seem to have slowed down of late, I just noticed this thread has now had over 20,000 views.

Thanks to everybody who has contributed so far. Keep 'em coming, Guys.
