This is one of those pleasant surprises from f*bay. You know, those impulse buys that you’re not quite sure what you’ll be getting and if it even ticks? I laid out a whopping $17.49 including shipping for this nifty early ‘70s chunky Ricoh automatic. All stainless steel case, stunning blue half gradient dial, manual winds and keeps pretty decent time. I have tweaked the regulation and have it to about one minute per day.
The dial is absolutely beautiful and really makes this watch pop. It came on a brand new plastic/vinyl dark blue croc look band (!) that will remain on the watch at least for awhile.
Enjoy the pics and thanks for looking.
Cheers,
