Hit me up if you ever decide to sell it. ;)
Thanks!

Since it has great sentimental value, I don't think a sale is ever likely - but if I change my mind, you got dibs!

Very nice restoration of a classic Seiko. Too bad it can't talk and tell you it's story. Who knows where it came from or where it has been. We were embroiled in the Vietnam War about that time and Seikos were pretty popular with the troops due to their prices in base exchanges. Either way it probably has a pretty good story behind it.

What a transformation; it's like one of those action films where they find the ex-spy living in some south American jungle with a teenage hooker and the Charles Manson beard, then in the next scene (after the shaving/pushup-pull up montage) the guy is decked out in full dress running all square-jawed around the pentagon, or something...

Or not. Watch looks damn good, though.

Lol love those montages. Prefer A team when odds are against them but they have a plan " just crazy enough to work " they go through the garabage and find everything they needed to make it work montages.
