Seiko RAF Gen 2 Pilots chrono

Post by **River Rat** » Thu Dec 03, 2009 6:14 am

Well just bought this it's coming from England as I write this.Well I collect Seikos Divers mostly vintage and military watches and found that Seiko made a issue piece for the RAF so I can have the best of both worlds in one watch.They made two version's the Gen 1 and Gen 2.The Gen 1 is thought to be the best one becouse it has a better movement a 15 jewel quartz movement and three pusher's.The Gen.2 has a none jewel quartz movement and two pusher's but has date.I found a Gen 2 and did some home work on what they are worth at another forum some one pm me with a dam good price and RAF chrono's hold there price and go up in value so I got it.Here are some of the seller's photo's will post some of mine when I get it.

It's a 1997 issue piece.
