1982 Seiko quartz watch. It's still ticking and accurate. I wear it everyday.
I ordered this Vostok Amphian on March ,14th and I'm still waiting on it.But it IS coming from Russia. So since I ordered it I've been looking at all kinds of other watches from Seiko to Skagen and everything in between. Then ifoundtheses really cool Shark Mesh watch bands on eBay and Amazon that look way cool.
The Shark Mesh brqnds come in stainless and black. I would love to have an all black watch with that bracelet. But I'm also looking for suggestions on my next watch. I prefer automatic movement watches. Thinking about a Seiko diver. Rolex guys please don't humiliate me here. I did the Vostok watches because they're like the SKS/ AK of watches. They're not as close on acxuracay as other watches but they put up with lost of punishment. Sound familiar?
You should probably Google that brand. I could be wrong but I think it's German.View attachment 1690499
I picked this watch up at a Police Auction, New in the box. I don't know crap about watches was planning to gift it to one of my boys for Christmas. I paid $100.
It's a quartz (battery powered). They go for around $120 on Amazon. It's a look-a-like of the Rolex Submariner, watch nerds like myself call it a "homage" rather than a copy. They seem to be well made and the bracelet looks nice.If it's quartz, it's a $150 watch. If it's the Swiss Sellita movement, then around $330.
For sub $500, I can't think of a nicer watch. I've had Tag Hueur, Breitling, and still have a couple of Seikos, but I like the Steinhart the best. Looks good on a strap or bracelet.
This early 80s vintage Seiko was my grandfather's. It needs a band. Most aftermarket metal bands look bad. They never seem to fit right especially between the lugs. It would probably look best with some type of leather band. But those are hot and uncomfortable to me. And it's not really a nato strap type of watch.
What to do...?View attachment 1691434
Well I would agree with you that the flex band would definitely be appropriate given the history and style of the watch. I just always hated the flex bands.
