Not sure how old this is, maybe later 60s early 70s?. It is mid size and set me back just over 8 bucks at a small town thift shop. Inside the it says Dainseikosha Japan R. That seems like an old way Seiko would brand their watches?. I recently saw an antiques roadshow episode I think it was and someone brought in a Japanese military Pilots wristwatch they said their Grandpa got in the Pacific during World War II lableled Seikosha. It was a really cool looking military timepiece and the appraiser put a big price tag on it. I've got me quite a little collection of Seiko wristwatches going on now. All found in a TS, some have pretty good value and others not so much.

It looks late 70s or early 80s to me. Wow great Seiko collection! One day I am going to find that grand seiko for three dollars.

Me too. When I was looking in the sales history of this one I came across one nice looking GS SS Black dial auto that went for $657.57 which doesn't seem all that bad to me. Maybe keeping an eye on eBay somebody may screw up and fail to mention the words Grand Seiko in the listing.
