My First Watch

This is the first watch I bought with my own money. 50 year old Seiko 5 that still runs like a charm. Originally on a steel bracelet, now on this vintage leather strap.

Good for you. Enjoy. A special watch.

I wish I had a watch with that kind of history. Best I have is a pocket watch from a wedding in the early 90s. Love the watch, just wish I could forget how I got it.

Did you buy it from a seller in India?

No, I bought it new from a jeweler when I was in high school in 1974.

Suddenly the Autodromo Group B feels like a Seiko homage…

Love this watch!

Lovely watch. I bet it's worth way, way more than the actual market value! ;)

The look is unique, classy and elegant. I would be proud to wear that watch.

So many people don't realize that Seiko actually had bright dials back in the day.

Fantastic watch especially since it still runs. I’m curious, how many times have you had it serviced?

Serviced twice. Most recently about 5 years ago.
