Found these in my drawer. The silver one is 42 years old. Christmas present from my mom. The gold Seiko was a grad school graduation present. 29 years old. Time to go on a battery hunt.

 

Hope the old batteries haven't leaked.

 

No, I’ve popped the backs and looked. No leaks

 

That gold Seiko is funky! I like it. Glad the batteries didn’t leak. Is that upper left register the sun position?

 

Yes that Seiko has a great funky fabulous dial

 

Yep! Sun, moon, date, and day.

Sorry about the bad quality pic

 

Maybe this is better

 

I do remember that soon after getting it I needed some more bracelet links. No one in the states had them. I was in Glasgow one year and a watch shop was able to get them. They told me it was a European model

 

That’s crazy, that 42 years ago was just 1978. How time flies. Never mind!

 

I thought the same thing when I was doing the math! I was a frikkin teenager for Gods sake

 

Yes we have a heartbeat!

 

That’s funky cool for sure! Glad she’s up and running.
