Seikomatic self dater, 1961, ticking smoothly👌🏻
I really do want a GS. Oh so much..
Yet sometimes I wear this vintage classic coolness, or one of my vintage King Seikos, and that obsession with GS calms down 😉

It looks great. It has 39 jewels?!

There was something of a jeweling arms race between major watch companies during the 60's. More jewels meant more bragging rights, prestige, etc.
Seiko got swept up in it as well. My Seikomatic Chronometer from 1965 also has 39 jewels. Several of the jewels served no actual purpose whatsoever though and are basically decorative. Possibly as many as 9, I think.
Very nice, what's the reference of this watch? I have a Skyliner 14092 from 1964 that looks similar
Self Dater was my nickname in high school.

Serial is 113060. So probably 1961, my mistake…

Thanks, I think it's actually J13060 which is a reference number, the movement is a cal 395.
Thank you for this info. I looked it up, and read about just now. Really appreciate it! This is one of my late dad watches.
NICE!! and still lookin' good for 62 years old! 👍 👍
