As soon as I saw this come up for sake, I was excited by the hands and hour markers. The BIN price was too high, so I made a much lower "best offer" and it was accepted!!
Woohoo!Ahhh, the tidy, labeled manila envelope!
I love buying from nonkun0508 and saitama_jp. They aren't "perfect" but their pictures are detailed and they do a great job of packaging. Saitama_jp is especially good about using the "?" when something may not be original. Another free watch carry case from nonkun0508!
I've used these (with some bubble-wrap) when traveling for work and on vacation to hold my "extra" watches.Looks like a watch to me!
There it is, a 1966 Seiko Sportsman Calendar 6602-9981.
The 6602 us a workhorse Seiko hand-wind movement, with lots of diaflex jewel mounting, but with no quick-set for the date, only the 9pm to 12 am semi-quick-set.
What appealed to me was the rectangular hour markers and hands. Very 6MAS in their style!
The big smooth crown...
The other, plain side...
And the very crisp case-back, with a nicely detailed "Seahorse".
I love it!Here it is on my wrist, with a copesthetic gray dress shirt.
Well, I am very satisfied with that purchase!
A quality vintage hand-wind movement, with some very desirable design features and a excellent case-back. Money well spent! 
Thanks for looking in, I have another unveiling coming out soon!

Is the crystal scratched to s***? Runs well? Crown operates properly?
