This is getting crazy! Another vintage Seiko. This time a 1984 Seiko Quartz 3863-5009. Needs a good polish but runs and guess what, another blue dial. Only $7 at GW Boutique. I also got a 1940’s Croton Sportsman for $5. Needs work. And a heavy Kirk & Sons Cuff bracelet for $5. At an estate sale I managed to get this Hamilton Automatic cal 661 for $50 and a vintage Waltham watch box for $4. The movement is great but covered in black bits probably from the o ring decomposing. Should be a simple tear down, clean & oil. Luv the 1972 calendar Watch bracelet that came with it.

They look nasty. I'm sure you'll work your magic on them. Nice finds, I think.

Congrats... but I hate when the kids call stuff from the 80's 'vintage'.. Sort of like hearing Ozzy Ozborn's "Crazy Train" on the oldies station :laughing7:

Wow I cleaned the Crystal and was expecting a toasted dial but was totally shocked to see this absolutely gorgeous textured blue dial. !!!!!!Super nice and rare model. When this watch was new in the early 1980s it was $1200. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1565404889.611856.jpg

I like those late 70s and early 80s quartz watches of the later space age. Guess it's time now to begin gathering up those vintage smart-tech watches of the late 90s early 2000s.

Absolutely! Full kits in excellent condition of early digital watches will be the next hot collectible. They are already going up in value.
