I Guess These Are Going Up In Value...........

[trandy]

Seiko SPBG001 solar/atomic...I have one of these in near mint condition....I love them and was going to try and pick up another one....they usually sell in the $175.00 to $200.00 range....however this one skyrocketed....the ending bid was $352.00!

I suppose the fact that "they don't make 'em anymore" was a contributing factor.

I'd LOVE to own one.

LCDs are coming back, hard-core.  Lots of nerd cred, fashion cred to have one now.  People are really on them.  And to have a modern one with a solid-link bracelet?  Heck yes, sign me up.  Wish I owned one.

  I have been into Seiko's '70s LCD models for a little while now, and I have noticed models that used to be common at $40-$50 are now two...three...even four times than much recently.  These seem to be coming up a little faster than the others...



LCD without the cheap, plasticky look.  Just like the SPBG001.  In fact, the SPBG001 is really just a modern version of the old A904 from the 1980s.

I'd love one too, I have a fair selection of 70s lcd as well .  Here is one of them , my daughter calls it my nerd watch. Well I must be a big nerd cos I have 2 of these calculator watches.

Wait . . . it tells time and can add 2 + 2 and get 4 on a consistent basis . . . . I say that ROCKS! 7dfe79adc2f0

Great looking LCD, I'd love to own one as well. Although, I'm not a big fan of the negative display variant. I think this is the model I'm thinking of...
