1965 Grand Seiko
While on vacation in Japan, it seemed only natural to go looking for nice souvenirs, and what could be nicer than a vintage Japanese timepiece?
I was fortunate enough to come across a 1965 5722-9990 Grand Seiko in great condition. I got rid of the (not that great) strap it came with, and fitted it with a nice dark brown lizard strap from Camille Fournet, which really fit the look of the watch (IMO, of course). I also fitted it with a Grand Seiko deployant, just because I prefer deployants . My first vintage Seiko, and I am loving it! And here it is:      Thor |

I really, really like that watch. Might have to pick one up one day as a dress watch to compliment my Sub.
Again, very nice.

Impressive. From the era when Japanese industry really started to excel in fine quality cameras and electronics ... And a few watches too!
