Nice!

Thanks

the cool thing about the 7010 (far left) is the arabic number dial was released in Japan only and for a very short time (it appeared in only 1 Seiko catalog according to urban legend) while the ones that were released in other parts of the world 1) had stick / baton markers and 2) a much longer production run

Sick combo Mike!

That Arabic dial is fantastic!

Can you share the backstory on the zippo?

See above for some info on the Arabic dial

The lighter is my dad's from his time in Vietnam......he is proud of this lighter because the ROKMC was/is a tough group and didn't work with outsiders much. He did something or a series of things (doesn't talk about it much) that impressed the group and he was made an honorary ROKMC and this lighter and nice presentation box was a part of that.

Here's the opposite side the lighter and top to the presentation box

The watches, lighter, and story are nothing short of incredible. Thanks for sharing!

I need to step away from the vintage Seiko’s… stepping away.
