    My Watchbox

    Default Vintage Gold Seiko

    So I dug up my Dad's old Seiko that he gave me and snapped some pics for fun:







    Here's what I know about it:

    -My Mom bought it as a wedding present in July 1971
    -Front says:
    SEIKO
    automatic

    DX
    17 Jewels

    At the bottom of the dial, barely readable, it says
    JAPAN 6106-6019P (last letter could possibly be R)

    -Caseback says:
    SEIKO
    6106-6007

    074106

    -Strap says:
    Hong Kong
    100% stainless steel
    Kreisler

    -When I shake it it runs fine, and although the bracelet is a little too small which keeps me from wearing it for a whole day, it has been keeping time for the past few minutes I've had it out. This is somewhat impressive, as I seriously doubt that it has been serviced or opened for the past 40 years.

    I'm interested to see if anyone knows anything about it or how much it may be worth (not that I would sell it). Also as a side note, how much would it cost to give it a service? I think at some point I will be obliged to give it a tune up, as it is a family heirloom.

    Thanks for looking!

    Nice one. Looks like a 70's "stretchy" bracelet (there is probably a proper name for it). Thanks for the pics.

    Indeed, it would not be an exaggeration to describe the history of the computer industry for the past decade as a massive effort to keep up with Apple.
