    Could be a punt. Lume loss but the movement looks surprisingly good. https://www.ebay.com/itm/124500659147Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Seller looks to have a couple other nice pieces. Not being versed on prices of those others, can't really be sure if they are a good value, but they seem pretty clean!

    My A11 came from hackset, great guy and his watches are indeed all serviced- he has a huge cache of NOS parts.
    Half the value of his watches is the service and his curation that all parts are correct to the model (lots of cobbled watches out there).

    Another OF bargain from @Toishome again:
    Seamaster 600 with a very nice sharp case and lightly be-speckled dial. I am normally not one for dial patina but this is attractive. These are among the nicest wearing Seamaster’s IMO- nice thick case lines, great size and classic styling. The service is worth half the asking price of $450. I own the same watch and it would take a bit more to pry it from my hands.

    Come on people, what kind of bargain hunters are you? This is a serviced Seamaster in nice condition for $450. Why hasn't someone bought it already?

    Stainless Seiko day/date- probably late 60’s/ early 70’s. Comes with factory BOR and seller says working but knows nothing of watches. Should clean up nicely.

    Vintage Seiko dress watches are still a great bargain. I have avoided the day-date models assuming that they would be a hassle if worn in a rotation. Anyone have an idea how easy these are to set?

    Mine is surprisingly easy. Pull crown out half way, clockwise rotation sets the day (mine has both Japanese and English), counterclockwise sets the date, full pull to set time.

    You inspired me to spend too much time here:

    https://17jewels.info/movements/s/seiko/

    I can't quite read the movement number in your photo, but the aforementioned eBay Seiko has the 7006 movement which changes date by pushing crown and day by cycling from 21:30 to 24:00. Your watch must be later.

    Interesting...mine is a1972 Seiko 23 Jewel Lordmatic 5606-7150. It has an appointment at the spa to take a look at why the seconds hand occasionally sticks, but other than that, everything about it is crisp. Will be a nice little machine to get back to tip-top performance and ensure a good extension on it's life!

    If I'm not mistaken, the link to the sale was posted here, so I owe someone a 'thank you!'
