Martyd3 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 As some of you know, my dad passed away a week ago. I found his old digital Seiko in one of his "junk" drawers. I just finished fixing it up. I didn't want to over restore it. I think it turned out great Before After Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Looks amazing Marty! Very well done. I think your judgement to not restore it to "factory new" condition was a good call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major_Error Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 That really brought me back to the happy 70'th! Those watches was really popular! Oh boy how much I wanted one of those.... Wonderful work! Take good care of that old piece of history! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I'm sure this will be priceless to you, and so it should. I used to wear one of those, and a later model with chrono functions. I think they were the best digital watches out there. It looks good, excellent! I've got my ol' man's Seiko in a drawer, somewhere, it's analog and extremely thin. Guess I need to find it and see if it still works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
