Thanks Guys
This watch sings to me and although they are relatively inexpensive they look great, have a decent movement and most of all I like it.
Its from 1977 and its a Seiko Bullhead. I was lucky to find this in Athens for 200 euro a few months back. Funny thing is this always gets compliments when I wear it and nobody notices my vintage Rolex...
