Well I've reached the point in this hobby where I've found a watch in a drawer that I have completely forgotten about or where it came from! So like any old watch I had to open it up and see what lurks inside.... An A241. The arrow in an arrow mark is apparently a military designation, although this is obviously not a military watch. A little research says this is a Seiko 66b. But it has a date, so...6602? Or would they have added they're own calendar parts? And here's the pics. Really digging the chamfers cut into the inside of the lugs!

It's a 66 of some type. I forget which one is which.
Not sure about military, it's the wrong arrow.

It’s nice though. I do quite like these older simple pieces.
