What a hit - crosshair dial!

Found this little fella by chance and was able to purchase the watch for a very small amount.๐Ÿป

This retro seiko has a very special flair. Dating from 1971, it reflects this period of history with its special case. A cushion case with different angles and different treated surfaces, a bit lively but very comfortable to wear. Unfortunately without the original strap, which was probably lost a long time ago on its way from Japan. The black leather strap, however, also fits the watch perfectly. Apart from the case, the dial is also something very unique. The whole watch is characterised by the crosshair across the entire dial and the unusual position of the applied Seiko logo and writing. This gives the watch a kind of unusual symmetry. Last but not least are the applied indices, which are positioned like large blocks on the dial. What is special about them is that they are also divided into individual sectors. A really great, albeit special watch. The whole thing is driven by a 6119 calibre.

I love finding little seikos like this and thinking about what they've already experiencedโœจ๐Ÿ˜Ž

So nice to see a real one. I can't tell how many that I have seen on auction sites with non-Seiko movements.

Congrats on the great find! Image

Lovely with a really interesting history I imagine. Seikos from that time period are amongst my favourites. Love the cushion case.

Love it! Nice find.

It is difficult, or rather it is becoming more and more, to find authentic ones. I only buy from trustworthy dealers or people i know personal. So far I have almost always been lucky. I've been looking for an authentic pouge for years - but I think I'm starting to give up...

Looks great! and it looks awsome.

There's one guy in my city who is asking around 200$ for it.

I live it but I think he's asking a lot

I paid 60 bucks and think itโ€™s appropriate (not one of the most saw after models). For 200 it has to be in very, very good condition๐Ÿ˜…

Yea, somethimes i have the feeling 80% or more of the existing pouge you find are pure frankenstein monster๐Ÿ˜‚

Dayum, this is a real hot one ๐Ÿ”ฅ

ยท

Yea, you are absolutely right๐Ÿ’ช

First time seeying this ๐Ÿ˜

Big time Pogue lover....it the reason I got into watches.

And I own an original one I got from my grandfather who was the first owner.

Only thing that I had to replace what is replaced was the crown and stem ,because I refused to pay 100$ for them๐Ÿ™„
