Hello again,
I have another four Seikos to unveil today, I got them on the first day of Spring, but it has taken a while to snap all the pictures then process them and these postings.
You can see now why I was so anxious to get those previous four unveiled, I am falling behind!
I can afford all these as I am selling some of my guns. I'm not really (with inflation) making a profit over what I paid, but they do sell for a lot of money! Don't be fooled my the manila bag, this is a brand new seller to me, and I hope his stuff is good quality.
So far, so good, well protected. Let's peek inside the first of those two boxes.
Okay, very well done. This seems like another engineering type person, that understands how to package delicate items. :-D
Two nice bundles in there. The one with the strap showing is "calling" to me!
Getting closer...
I know which one this is now, the seller said the strap was "cheap" and he would take $2 off if the buyer didn't want it. I thought "any strap is worth $2!" but this thing is so flimsy, I think his value was correct!! ;-)
I know, blah, blah, blah! Anyway here is the watch, a very nice 1975 Seiko Lord Marvel with the non-hacking, hand-wind, 36,000 movement. I already have one like this but it isn't in very good condition, and this one was so inexpensive I could not resist!
The crown side...
The "common" side...
And the case-back.
I didn't have time to put a nicer strap on it, too much to do! Still, the watch looks good. I do love these hi-beat Seikos, their second hand moves so smoothly!
Okay, I have to move on to #2!!
Thanks for looking!
