Oh my! Have any of you seen this?

Found this on @ plus9time on instagram. Absolutely stunning! Seems to be from the new GS museum in Ginza. I love it. I want it.

Ref: 6185 014 VFA (I think)

The bracelet looks like a coat of armor. Cool.

Now that's how an integrated bracelet should be done, nevermind the GG guff. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love a watch that really plays with the light. Great find.

I think these are from late 60's early 70's but I thought if it was VFA it had that designation on the dial. I could be wrong.

Those represented the tippy top tier quality of watchmaking that Seiko was capable of producing in the late 60's with an out of the box accuracy of plus or minus 2 seconds a day, the same as a modern day Rolex. That's a special VFA reference that has a case and bracelet that are made from a palladium alloy rather than stainless steel. An extremely well preserved example sold not that long ago for a little under a 100k USD.
