Vintage 80's Seiko no5 Silver Dial

Recommended Posts

This is my latest aquire from the bay,

i'm usually into reps, but sometimes also into vintage simple pieces as well.

A vintage (probably 70's-80's) Seiko 5 with a Silver dial.

it houses the 7009 (7009-3080 ?) movement (17j) which so i've heard is a real work horse.

does anybody knows indepth information about this movement? other than the rumers i can't seem to find too much information about this specific movement model.

here's a photo, let me know what you think :)

lol yeah, this model lacks information so i found out WUS has a dedicated forum for those brands, and i posted over there asd well :)

i'm also a big fan, used to own a vintage seiko "big eyes" (panda dial) chrono and sold it, regret it till this day.. now they're priced so high!

hey, this is funny-

as i've found out that SEIKO reps exists !!??

and they still exists till today and a few sellers on the bay are selling them in big quantities for around $20.

this is weird, why to fake an already cheap watch? :bangin:

fun to look at the photos and see that even with such simple and easy to replicate watches, they've made some serious flaws :D

Thats a very nice Seiko. I really like the seiko brand. Some people dont care for seikos because they lack Swiss pedigree. I just think there great watches. I heard that there were seiko reps but I thought they would be of the high end variety. I would be very Interested In there Sportura and Honda Formulam 1 raing team watches. Good luck with your new or not so new Seiko :) Mike
