Looks like a watch!

It IS a watch! A 1965 Seikomatic Weekdater, model 6218-8971, with a 35 jewel movement running at 18,000 bph. I understand this is a really good movement, a brother to the 62xx Grand Seikos.


And what a great texture on the dial...

Here is a movment shot from the seller:

I liked this new one so much I took off my recent purchase King Seiko 4402, which has bee keeping extremely accurate time, set this one and put it on.

I LOVE the dial texture!!

It also came with a non-Seiko (but period correct) "Bear" brand bracelet, of which I have no complaints. Classy and comfortable.

Thank you!

Thank all you gentlemen for your kind words. :051bye:


Ross, it has definitely been worn, it has many dings and scratches. But it is still in remarkable condition considering how old it is.
