Yes, it's yet another vintage Seiko unveiling!  But can you blame me?  This beauty sold to me for US$68, looks wonderful on the wrist with a classic 70's style bracelet that is plenty long enough. Here is the package from the third of my "trusted" auction sellers. Wait, did I order chicken salad to go?  A tight bundle of bubble-wrap was inside the tupperware. Starting to see the watch now... And there is my bargain basement beauty! A 1973 Seiko Lord Matic 5606-7320, with green "gradient" dial, gold hands and markers, and a faceted glass crystal.  It is automatic, hacks, hand winds and the fragile quick-set works perfectly. The faceted crystal has many small scratches, but on the wrist I don't even notice them! A view of the crown. The common side. The handsome signed clasp. And the mandatory vintage watch case-back picture. Someone on one of the forums was asking about an affordable dress watch. Well, it is green and gold, but you can't beat the $68 price for such a wonderful looking mechanical timepiece, in my opinion!!  And check out the bracelet! I think that is easily worth the price of the whole watch!  Well, I don't know why no one was bidding on this, but I'm glad!  I thought I would be wearing my 1955 Seiko Super for a few days, but it is going to be hard not to wear this watch instead! Thanks for looking! - Thomas |
