    well I was thinking if you put up a pic and the specs you want then their are more eyes keeping a look out then gives you more chance of a find

    How do you identify if a case is any good when it looks like this?

    Only you can make that decision based on your ability, or willingness, to spend time cleaning the case.
    I would suggest that you give that one a miss and wait for a better example to appear.
    If the supply of ETA movement parts affects you please complete this survey:

    The 66-8050 was made for a long time I think. So now at least I've got the name of a case to enquire after when I find a Seiko hoarder to direct enquires at.

    Well my question is: is there a vendor somewhere with a big pile of Seiko cases and a big pile of Seiko dials, in reasonable condition, to whom I can make enquiries. I'm really good at (a) writing emails (b) making PayPal payments.

    I'm just a boy standing in the rain asking a market to sell him something. (Have I got that quote right?)

    Would this question get a more helpful answer in the vintage section?
