Just saw this ad and am having a think about it. While I am, wondering if anyone had any thoughts? I don't know the Seiko Crown range, what kind of quality. The dial looks in good condition from the photo but the ad says "a little damage(small stain)" Wish I could spot it in the photoCan't quite decide what I think of those indices. I do rather like this plain design. Its 35m
Price is $188 but has a Make An Offer button. I think that's a bit high? The crystal could very cheaply be replaced. The caseback says SS - is that the whole case? The case could enjoy a polish, assuming the SS refers to the whole case, and that it isn't chrome plated.
I'm not sure I know how to read / date a five digit Seiko serial number. Am looking into production dates for cal.560. Might it be 1961? I already have a 1961 Seiko, which has a 66 movement. Need to find out how the 560 relates to this. Someone once told me about Seikosha, but I've forgotten it all
