Daniel...that is a way cool vintage Seiko.
That thing looks absolutely mint too...sweet!!
Thanks Chris, I received it a few weeks ago and was waiting for the mesh bracelet to arrive... I was very lucky to find this baby as it is. It's all original, dial, hands, crystal, crown, pushers... The only thing not original on the watch is the case brushed finish, the gaskets (crystal gasket still original) and the dial has been relumed. The original finish is a ribbed brush pattern and I found it impossible to get my hands on a nice one. The movement as been completely serviced and the chrono second is at about +8sec a day (there is no second hand on this model besides the chrono) Which is quite amazing for a watch of it's age, and for a chrono IMHO...The job as been well done too, no sticky pushers and the day/date quick set, done with the crown, is working flawlessly, which are the main problems on most of these on the market. And more importantly, no pitting or corrosion on the movement. The dial is very well conserved for it's age but I found a NOS that will replace this one. I just love this case shape :D
