These are fairly plain, simple looking timepieces, but Seiko also lavished a lot of effort and technology into them, to provide the middle class customer a good value in a watch.
And this one has a very unusual case-back!
Here is the large EMS bag that arrived.
A manila envelope wrapped package is within.
Ah-ha! The cardboard box guy! This is my newest favorite eBay vintage Seiko seller.
He does very "scientific" packing. I approve!
Getting closer...
Mmm, I always like an original bracelet. Too bad this is not one of them!!
And her we are, it is a 1967 Seiko Business-A 8306-8020. It has a 30-jewel 8306A movement, running at 18,000 bph, that winds both manually and automatically.
Here is a closer look, at the relatively conservative styling, although the hands and nicely sized. with a short hour hand and long minute and seconds hands.
A look at the crown side.
And then the plain/other/case/subject/common side!
A nice, not correct Lord Matic bracelet, that is also for someone with a 6" wrist!
Hey, remember what I said about the case-back? Check out the model designation! It is a 8306/46! I've never seen one like that before, have you?
Okay, since I couldn't wear it on the bracelet, I put on a simple plain smooth black strap. Looks just right to me!
Thanks for looking in! I have another unveiling I am working on, and it goes in a very different direction!!
Stay tuned!- Thomas
