1968 Seiko Skyliner

Recommended Posts

Mr. Genesis

Hi everyone! :)

 

So I finally got my first vintage watch. A 1968 Seiko Skyliner that I bought on ebay for just 89$USD!

 

It looks so much better in person and the watch is unbelievably clean! I can wind it in the morning, wear it all day, go to sleep and it will still be on time the next morning. I'm seriously amazed by this watch. It's also 37mm, so it's the perfect size for a dress watch on my skinny wrist! haha

 

Hope you like it :)

If some of you show interest in seeing better pics of it, I might try to take the time to do a little photoshoot with my camera. ;)

Just received a very similar one from eBay for $52. Super quick delivery from Japan to the U.K. in 6 days for $11! This may have scratched my King Seiko itch with the fantastic case shape. Class all round!

Looks great and also great value. I am however a bit suspicious of watches of that age in really great condition. Suggests restoration. I bought a Rado of similar vintage from ebay. I think it may well have started life as more than one watch.
