Okay, we are over the hump! Lets move on to the fourth tidy bundle...
And for the sake of brevity, we'll skip the "plastic storage box" pictures, and move right to...
It's a watch! :-D And it looks like an old Seiko!
Yes, it IS an old Seiko! It is 1975 Seiko Lord Matic Weekdater, model 5606-8061, with a 23 jewel automatic, hacking movment, running at 21600 bph.
Another 56xx series, but a 5606 this time with day and date. And another cool bracelet, but the reason for this purchase was the faceted or "cut" crystal. '
These mineral glass versions (unlike the newer sapphire ones) chip very easily so it is hard to find them in good condition.
Here is another attempt to show the crystal facets.
The crown.
The other side.
The case-back.
And finally the signed clasp.
Okay, we are almost done! Only two more to go! :-/
Please look for the further postings, "Seiko Package Deal 2e" and "Seiko Package Deal 2f".
Thanks for checking these out!
