I saw an estate sale advertised as buy it now. Scrolling through the pictures I saw two Seiko watches in a lot for $20. I could see one was a knock off of an AP Royal Oak and looked very vintage. I jumped on it immediately. Turns out it’s a Seiko 8229-8019 from 1981 and highly collectible. It was covered with gunk so I cleaned it and polished the Crystal. The glass crystal polishing kit I got off of eBay works like a charm. The other one was in the late 80s two tone watch. Probably worth about 20 bucks. I’ll probably sell that one and get my money back. It’s really a very cool looking watch.
