I am mostly a Seiko collector for vintage watches, but this was just so cool, and it went cheap too!
I love the smell of an EMS bag in the morning!!
Ahh, the trusty grocery bag, from my friend on the bay
And the local newspaper, as always!!
I'll skip a few, and we see another double pack. large and small. Let's do the small one first again.
I'm getting closer...
Woohoo, this thing is just so cool looking! It is a 1961 "Citizen Deluxe" with a hand-winding, 19 jewels movement and a very unusual 2-color dial. I have been told this was one of the most successful early watches made by Citizen.
Most of the case-back text is faint, but legible.
And I could not wait to get it on. :imok: It blows ne away how good it looks!
I would commit to wearing this for the rest of the week, but maybe I should wait until I open that last watch!
One more to go!!
Thanks for looking!
