Rare as hens teeth in such good condition. Congrats

I've been working on restoring one of these... they're brilliant and completely mad...

That's a great one that you have there! I believe it was one of the first Kinetic ever?

I just love the flow of the case design. But the cherry on the cake is the movement.

I recognized it because the Nekkid Watchmaker had an excellent video showing him restoring this very exact model.

I bought an auction lot of watches not long ago that has one similar to this in it. Would you believe that it was fake? There is nothing kinetic about it and it has a Miyota movement. When I get home I will have to share a picture with you. I like the looks of this watch. Very nice.

There out there, the Kinetic movement is unmistakable. just with a little movement of the watch it will give off a little buzz feeling

Yes I own a few kinetics but here is the fake one. I can't believe that they would make such a thing.

it should have a power reserve button and don't think this model ever said quartz below the Seiko logo.

It doesn't have one and the major noticable thing is the Miyota movement. It's even marked on the caseback. When I open it, it's just a cheap Miyota movement that comes in checkout line watches. It's not a kinetic it's a finetic. LOL

when you touch this one it makes a hollow tin sound that screams fake. I saw it on Ali 21.99 shipping included. So I paid to see what would happen. 3 weeks later the order was cancelled and my payment was refunded. 3 months later a mystery package showed up. Low and behold a free fake Seiko

Believe it or not I came acrossed that same watch too. I took the strap off of it and used it on a buddy of mines real one. I still have the rest here somewhere. Hahaha Small world.

This watch wasn't a high dollar watch when it originally was released. So it just goes to show you, nothing is off limits.

This one is marked Seiko Quartz on the dial. It is actually a manual wind watch. It has a one jewel Remex Hong Kong movement. Why? This is one that I will never understand.

Bets when it came in to the country it said ASEIKON on it? Thats' what they did, and once they got into the country you took a swab and some alcohol and by magic an Aseikon magically transformed into a "Seiko"

I didn't know that. Thanks for the lesson.

I've tried to add one to my collection, But they assume ASEIKON is a real vintage brand, then they want crazy money, and if they have been altered to say SEIKO they think its a vintage Seiko and STILL want crazy money. And as much as I want one I will not pay crazy money for a junk watch. Google ASEIKON watches and look at the sea of crap fake Seikos. Feikos are hilarious.
