Unexpected gift from a fren

sometimes we will give a watch to certain gd frens, relatives, it just makes us happy when they smile & hold the watch in their hands,u guys noe the feeling ;)

met a fren today for a cup of coffee, he told me he had sometink for me, a seiko watch. He knew I collects early Seiko quartz & he said he finds that watch nice looking hence gotten for me. I was, of cos, excited when he told me this particular model & i ran a google search on it..

OMG..it's indeed a nice looking piece :!:

there is some slight issues with the watch, i will nd to send it to k2 to see if it's fixable(i hope ah goh can do something about it to this piece, it's really too nice to see it ended up as a donor watch :(

no pics as of now, will take pics tmr..

for those who are curious wat quartz watch is it, google for

'A very early Quartz, Still very much hand made and assembled then. The very first was the Astron in 1969 which cost more than a Toyota Corolla. In 1971 Seiko released the 38XX models that were the first Quartz watches built in high numbers and they still cost three times the price of the average Grand Seiko chronometer.'

hmmm ;)
