Looks like your time has been well spent Andrew they look a picture of health and i particularily like the 66-7439, whats the case back like on that one ?
A few old Seiko's
Hi,
I have given some TLC to a few Seiko's that I bought some time ago, and took some pictures to share with you all:
A couple of Seiko 5 Sports 6319-8070 with their original bracelets

The 6319 movement is a small step up from the reliable 6309 that powers the venerable 6309-7040, basically the same movement with 4 more jewels.
A 6300 (same series movement, but hand wind only). Blue, simple, reliable, lightweight).
Next to it, basically the same Seiko looks but in quartz, a SQ 7546-8369 in metallic blue. Both watches were manufactured in 1978.

The 7546 movement was the standard 4 jewel +/- 15s/month Seiko quartz movement at the time. It's as robust as they come.
[img]
And an older cousin to all the above, a venerable hand wind 66 movement powering a 66-7439 manufactured in ... 1964!

The dial:
All the above keep perfect time. :)

The screw-in back still has the protective and QC stickers:
I have no idea, actually, but that's the case back it came with. Our expert in such cases (and case backs - ha!) would be Martin.TheTigerUK said:
It does not look like a 1964 caseback (most of these had the animals or sometimes the simpler circular print) and 1974 would be very late for a 66 caliber (but perhaps not impossible as the dial design is very much late 60s / early 70s). If I had to guess, this would be a 1968-70 watch.ADB said:I have no idea, actually, but that's the case back it came with. Our expert in such cases (and case backs - ha!) would be Martin.

Hi,
I opened it to check whether its guts would provide some more evidence:

66B movement, squeaky clean, and apparently made in Japan.
NOTE : I found this thread which discusses production dates of almost identical watches, and it seems this 66B is a late run from 1974, and not an early run from 1964.

That strap is made by Atlantic. It has leather on the inside face and tough nylon fabric on the outside. Kind of looks durable to me.
I just picked up the same two listed by the OP on El Flayo - 6319's, running, rough, but I'll be interested to see if I can bring 'em back to like condition! >
