I bought a bag of watches, 90% are low end except this Seiko, a Tissot Seastar, and a few others. Unfortunately, it will need a completely restoration. The wonderful thing is that it works, but not the second hand, chrono, stem/crown is broken, and finally the crystal. Thank you for your opinions and comments. They are appreciated as always.

Awesome watch. I see someone selling the hands on eBay for $22. It is definitely one worth getting fixed.

Hi Jim, I listed it yesterday. There is a bid on it. I was going to list for $1, but saw that e**y recommended $175. I was thinking that that was for an all functions, and in top condition watch. Thank you.

Not a bad score already...but I’m going to need you to take better pictures in the future. LOL. You didn’t do any really good closeups. Those money shots will bring in the bidders. But obviously you will do well regardless. You already have!

No doubt about it. That is one of my biggest frustrations, the flash. I know I also have to upgrade to a better camera, and set up a nice staging area. Thanks for the advice. :-)
