Thanks, it's from 1978. Ref is 9983-8000 and it was the most expensive stainless steel watch offered by Seiko in the 1970s catalogs (Grand Seiko included) at 230,000 yen. Advertised as accurate to 5 seconds a year. I'm currently testing this one against a couple of others here: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=791591

Thank you. New watch purchase. It’s from the early 90’s. Paid $30. I have the original band but put this one on until the oyster bracelet I bought comes.

I actually forget I have a Seiko turtle SRP773 in the draw. Took it out, after reading this tread.
