It's a beautiful watch.

Hey Paul [mention]TheVTCGuy [/mention] is this similar to the one you just referred to?

Congratulations. I had one of these a few years ago and liked the look and fit. Never could get it to function properly and moved it on.

Congrats, Danny! It's easily one of my favourite vintage Seiko watches. You'll really enjoy this one.

Such a great watch you have there. I love mine as much as my Rolex. Unfortunately I had to change out dial and hands with aftermarket as the originals were just awful. My wife makes fun of it though and says that I can wear it as long as I refrain from accessorizing with dingo boots and silk shirts. She doesn’t know that the beard I’m growing will soon be a mustache and sideburns.
