The other week I had a beautiful vintage quartz Sekonda arrive and shortly after its arrival I spied a manual wind that is very similar in looks in that both have roman numeral dials. I won it for $9 from a seller in Canada so now I have two very similar watches from Sekonda with old and new engines! The movement on the manual wind is the ledgendary 2609 movement, in this guise the HA model. 19 Jewels with antishock. The letters SU stamped on the movement indicate the watch is destined for export. I will report back in a few days on accuracy but as you can see the whole watch including the movement is in almost new condition. I love the bone white dial with black hands and numerals, really easy to read. The manual wind is from the mid seventies, the quartz mid eighties. As I said in a previous post Sekonda's hold a special place in my heart so its great to have these two.

Very cool. Love the white dial with the RR track ring. The hands are a nice shape too. But man, you overpaid for that!

I know Roger, they saw me coming! Both watches came to under thirty bucks. Both pretty much NOS with excellent movements. I love these bargain end watches. Each one including the Timexs keep great time and feel great to wear.

9 bucks? You got robbed. Just kidding. I'm honestly amazed you can buy something like this for 9 dollars. Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk Pro

cheers Chip and Ranuka. Here is the listing. I post it as he has some interesting watches occasionally and I feel very confident in recommending him www.ebay.ca/itm/201100388905?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649There is not a mark on this one. It is amazing what you can get. My secret is that I just keep looking. The nature of my work is I get to sit in recording studios or film sets a lot of the day waiting to work with my clients so I get a good amount of time to keep scanning eBay. If you guys are ever searching for something and need help looking just let me know and i will keep an eye out for you.
