db1 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Very nice. I am huge Seiko fan. Personally, I have never owned a more "durable" automatic watch than my 7002. ---Interesting, I just Googled that movement, and your post on WUS was the first hit!

db1 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 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!

offshore Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I will have a parts breakdown for the movement if you need it.And set instructions for the watch. Just PM. O/S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db1 Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 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? fun to look at the photos and see that even with such simple and easy to replicate watches, they've made some serious flaws db1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
