Bought this one last week. However, my father took an instant liking to it so i gave it to him as a present. Cant let the old man walk around with an old Seiko (quartz) on his wrist.

Its powered by a ETA 2801, manual winding. Exhibition caseback. Think it is the cheapest model from Glycine. Still, it looks good and works great for a watch that has been a beater since 2011.

I offered my father to pay for service and a new plexi. But he says he likes the scratches that are on the glass. Despite this, i believe it would be best to have a pro take a look at the watch and give it some TLC on the inside just to be safe.

Thank you Tony! ThumbsUp02.gif (Fourth watch i gave away as a present this year).

Here is another photo of the movement. As you all can see there is a big and deep scratch. Previous owner tried to open it up with a pair of pliers. oh my.gif

So yes, i got this one for a very nice price. snoopy1.gif

The 2801-2 is a 2824-2 without automatic module. This little ticker is bomb-proof and a real combat ready movement.
Nice beater!
