Spoken as a German in the US, who probably wouldn’t exist without this great country.

Happy Independence Day,

America is the greatest country on Earth, seems a lot of folks nowadays don't realize just how good they have it here. I'm in the same boat as you, only from a different country.
 
A couple of American blades. For the record the flashlight (Surefire), top (Kemner Design), and Yo-Yo (One Drop) are all US made. The vintage Seiko of course is from Japan, but this was a model made famous by an American Astronaut on Skylab, and this example just so happens to me manufactured in 1976 (the Bicentennial and my birth year).

Happy Independence!

Thanks! Yea I really love Seiko from that era, and I'd really like a 6138 as well. I was pretty heavy on the hunt for a brown Bullhead for a while, but have since slowed down on watch purchases and focused on a much smaller collection. Still think I'll pick one up one day though. My local watch shop also had a decent example of the black/red "UFO" 6138 that I was considering, but they ended up going out of business during the lockdown unfortunately.
