Thank you for your appraisal, good sir! Yeah, I had to debate with my watchmaker about on his opinion, it was an interesting conversation to say the least hahaha! 

Would you happen to know more about this piece, good sir? Any historical references, anything special about it aside from the Orfina on the dial? I'd love to hear about it....tried digging through the Internet but as with all vintage watches, I came up short🥲🙏🏼🙏🏼

I agree with your good self, sir! Seiko really shot themselves in the foot with this reissue, putting a mediocre movement into a watch that was once renowned for its MOVEMENT alone. As a collector of vintage Seikos, I feel that this reissue really misses the mark. King Seikos used to beat the Swiss at the Chronometer trials, not to mention one upping their sister Grands! Come on, Seiko! They really are becoming the epitome of one's worst enemy 🥺😡🤧

I'm sorry, Ball....for all of it. ( cue Obi- Wan Kenobi's voice ) 

 Thank you for your comment and your virtual beers, good sir! May the Force be with you🙏🏼🥳
