I have to say I really like these two but the champagne dial really has won my heart. The blue dial is genuinely gorgeous... many of the 70s Seiko blue dials are just fabulous (As you well know) but the patina on the champagne dial just adds something I can't describe. I've only kept a couple of the donkey's and they tend to be imperfect in some way... I bond with them more. They remind me of me. Ha ha.

It's very hard to see some of them go.

Looks like a bargain. What's on the caseback... reference, etc?
