Considering that the Sportsmatics were not particularly high-grade at the time, these watches have a tremendous amount of detail to them...and those close-up dial shots show clearly what a fantastic example your particular watch is - very classy!

That is a beauty...you big showoff.  I have often wondered why Seiko doesn't pay more attention to some of their past classic designs that so many collectors seek out? I mean how many of those watches would people buy if they were made available again? A ton I bet. |

That's a really sweet one. Seiko was going for the throat of the Swiss watch industry in the 1960s and 1970s and watches like that typify their efforts.

I agree, that series did something special. They were simple, but way classy at the same time. Mine's not nearly as nice and in a state of disassembly, but wants to join the team.   |

Looking at that watch Tim, I'd see everything but the Time. She's a beauty!

That is a stunning example Tim :love: I think that's helped the increasingly difficult decision as to what to wear this evening and tomorrow !   Both from 1965. |

That's a stunning example. The deluxe always catch my eye. Here's one of mine. It doesn't have the level of detailing yours does though.   |
