Hello all. I wasn't sure where to post this, I hope I have found the right thread. About an hour ago I picked this up at the thrift shop. I am not into quartz or digital watches, but knew older, vintage Seiko's are going up in value. A couple of other times I have bought older Seiko's to put on the bay and help fund my real addiction, vintage mechanical watches. This was so clean, I took a chance that all it needed was a battery. Alas, that wasn't all it needed. The connection looks just as clean. I can't get to my watchmaker until at least Monday. The wait is going to kill me.....does anyone know of something I can try in order to get it to maybe work before then. I did an ebay sold search and was amazed. Maybe I need to broaden my idea of what is a collectible watch. LOL. Thanks in advance for any help on this model. I can add more pics if need be. McK
I do like the vintage steel band digitals. They definitely are something to look for at thrift shops.
Thank you for that suggestion. I am going to have to google how this is done, but I appreciate the suggestion. McK
Hi. I think the nickname for these are " pan am " as they were JDM and pilots used to buy them. Nice of the time looking watch and can be quite expensive on the bay, I mean for a quartz . Good luck with the fix. The hump
That’s a good looking watch, hope you or your guy can resurrect it. If not, a case in that condition is always sought after for people with good movements but battered cases.
I listed this on eBay this a.m. and it sold in about 14 mins. Maybe I was too low and maybe it was just the right price at the right time. Anyway, I now have a little extra vintage Omega money. You know I am looking. LOL McK
Wish I’d known, would have loved to have made an offer! More pennies towards your next grail though...
Sorry, I didn't think I had enough time here to sell anything and wasn't trying to get around that fact either.
