    Smile Seiko King Quartz from the 70's

    these are an hidden gem as far as affordable watches go...a nice one for 150 quid, and these were the Grand Seiko of their day.

    ive had 3 for less than the price of a seiko 5.

    I bought a solar butterfly citizen and a few other citizens to fix with mixed results did get a duo time working that had the hex case and a hex case chrono working the other I had to sell for parts

    biggest problem with seiko is matching up the parts some time got a lordmatic but trying to find a bracelet is a bit of a git had one but had issues with it I just could not fix
