Me too, I also have a speedtimer from 1975.
Seriously cool watch. Looks like a nice shape to the crystal.

Yeah I'm 1976, so these are close but missed the mark

Yours looks in great condition compared to some I've seen.
Maaaan those look new!
Another watch I only know from homage land, But a true classic!

Both were fully restored by Spencer Klein

Yes, and I got these before the homage and reissue were a thing, and honestly I wore it a lot more back in the day, the reissues took some of the joy away from owning the original
Wow, does that bring back memories. My Dad was a scuba diver starting in the early 1970s and had a Seiko diver. I spent my entire childhood playing with that bezel.
Enjoy!
Nothing better than a 70s Seiko... and I've seen just a few 😉
A classic! And gorgeous photography - that shot in the hand looks like a legit product shot!
👌👌
That is gorgeous, it’s in such great condition it looks like you picked it up a year or two ago.
Perfect.
Impecable Willard!!!

I've owned it for many years, can't remember exactly, maybe 6 or 7 years, but a few years ago I had it fully restored by Spencer Klein who specializes in these.

Vintage Seikos rule!
Pure class with the waffle strap. Awesome!
I agree, this watch looks best on the waffle strap. 💪
Your watch is my age, but the Seiko aged a lot better than me😂
That's a great pair of Seikos, regardless of the reissues or homages!
Ooh!
Beautiful piece

I've tried other straps, but keep going back to this one.

Thanks, I should enjoy it more, it has been a safe queen the last few years.

I've noticed the Seikos from the 70s have held up better than the Rolex from the 70s. I once heard that these cost around $75 back then and the Rolex Sub was around $150, that might have been late 60s early 70s.
