Found this on one of my forays into the depths of the bay. I don't think I've seen a watch marked Seiko & Ricoh before. The button on the side of the case interests me a bit, it doesn't look to be an alarm, maybe it's to advance the day ? I wonder what the red logo stands for ? Anyone know about these ?   |

It's a genuine Ricoh that somebody has doctored up with 'SEIKO' on the dial and rotor. The two companies have never been associated as far as I'm aware. |

Why the heck would someone even bother doing that ? Seems a lot of fiddly work to go to for very little gain. I wondered if it was a wrong 'un. |

Not being a big fan of undisclosed Frankens/Mods I have to confess to quite liking that due to the split day/date (and............er...... having just bought a completely honestly described cobbled watch mod from another forum member can't condemn it !)
Damn, I think my purist face is slipping.

People are strange ! |

WOW.
If it is 1970 and you live in a 3rd world country and cannot afford a real Mustang 5.0, I mean Seiko 5, take some used junkyard donor badges and stick them on your Datsun, I mean Nissan, and 40 years later you have that one.
