Picked this up at a flea market a few weeks ago. Thought about having it restored but after talking it over with some folks, I think it's best to try and trade it. I wear my watches and I'm not intentionally gentle with them. I don't abuse them but I'm not over-cautious either. I'd be tempted to wear this one the same way and it probably should be in someone's collection.
It needs a new crystal and the chapter ring is loose. It could stand to be re-lumed as well. I have not opened it up but it runs well and keeps decent time as-is. It could benefit from a full service and restoration. Not sure if the band is original. It was with the watch when I got it.
PM me and I'll send you more pictures from my phone this evening. I'm in South Carolina. The watch is at my house in Atlanta and I won't be getting home until late-ish.
I'm interested in Seikos with the 4r36 movement or better. Hacking, hand-winding, autos made in the last few years. Watches I can wear every day and not worry about. Multiple watch trade deals would be great too depending on the watches. Really only interested in Seiko and maybe some Citizen or Orient stuff.
PM me with a phone number and I'll respond via text and we can go from there.
Not in a hurry to get rid of it. Cool watch. Just not into restoration/collecting as much as I'm into wearing. Thanks!
