A very honest example of a vintage Seiko at the end of the 70s. This one is a larger size case of 40mm which is nicer for many in this day and end.
This has a lovely grey dial with a radial pattern that plays with the light and adds interest. Sword hands have black pinstriping which match with the applied indices. This model is the SS version which has a higher 23 jewel count in the movement. The movement is a 6106, my personal favorite Seiko 3 hander movement. Offers hacking but no hand winding, this will only get power by motion of your wrist. Day Date complication with both English and Kanji. Please see the video in this listing to show how to quickset this.
I have given the watch a full and comprehensive service and fitted new crystal, caseback and crown gaskets. I still will not recommend swimming or bathing with a vintage watch however.
Watch is running well within tolerance and should offer years of further timekeeping.
I have re-brushed the circular pattern over the case lugs and sides, lightly polished the sides and bezel. It has improved the look but does not hide its history.
Comes with the original bracelet which is a funky 70s design but quite loose on the links by design in my opinion. (see video in this listing) I will also supply this watch with a 19mm black leather strap as an alternative. It fits my 7" /18cm wrist with one hole left on the clasp ladder so if you need more room then consider a bracelet extender also listed on the site.

Let customers speak for us
from 28 reviewsI love the 70's and I love this watch, case shape and dressy white dial. Delivered with a nice Croc. embossed leather strap and protective film on the spotless dial glass. I am very happy that this is now my watch, it's clearly a keeper.

I love my new Seiko, judging from your Web pictures and the description I knew something special was to be sent to me and oh my what a dial!, it looks like nothing I have seen before, like brown or golden colors on a bark structure, it plays with the light give all these colors.
Bracelet is beautiful smooth with its small links. The whole watch is simply a winner and I am so happy to be the owner :-)

Tshirt is top quality. Will return for another soon.

Quality timepiece

A great watch and looks brilliant and all working as it should.

I've been watching Mike's YouTube videos for around 18 months which sparked my interest in vintage watches. This is my first vintage watch and I love it. The condition is fantastic and looks fantastic on my wrist. My wife has now put it away for my birthday next month. Can't wait to be a year older ! Thanks Mike

A lovely time piece, absolutely stunning and quick delivery, very well packed

The T-shirt was perfect and love your stuff on YouTube!

Ultimately, there's not much to say.
The watch matches the description exactly and is in perfect condition.
I could have bought it directly from the manufacturer, but now I have a piece of the canal that I love to watch so much to calm down after a long day of work.
Great memory.
All the best, Mike!!!
You are a great person.
