Cutest dress Seiko from 1984 (quartz)

Was looking for this exact model for a couple months, finally was able to purchase and import it from Japan.

It was not running, so I had the ability to test my quite limited watch servicing skills, completely disassembling the movement right inside the case ๐Ÿ˜…

Now watch is happily running, and I'm a proud owner of a charming vintage Seiko

Itโ€™s really cool, but the strap looks a little dominant to me.

Completely agree, but the lug spacing is 19 mm and atm this was the only 19 mm strap at my disposal

Very nice indeed.

Really nice looking watch. Out of curiosity, what was the issue with the watch?

Water got inside the crown tube, so the stem and the crown were rusted solid to the case. After I removed all the delicate components, WD-40 made its job perfectly ๐Ÿ˜„
