Another saved Seiko from1977.

I bought this Seiko for a while ago for €15 on the Dutch market place, but the glass was broken, and the gaskets were not good, but the module still worked.

I have the watch repaired by a watchmaker and have to wait a few weeks, new original glass, new gaskets for all pushers, case and band clean, new battery, new cover gasket.

The watch runs very well, alarm is verry loud, and the light work 100%, so it happens that I saw on the Internet this magazine ad, stand for sale so i bought it immediately 😊

Picture before and after.

The watch is produce in June 1977.


The text in the ad.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
As you’d expect, Seiko was the one to create a Multie-Mode LC Digital in which all four modes can function simultaneously. Seiko’s dedication to technology makes this watch possible in a surprisingly compact case. Seiko’s concern with human engenireering makes it the easiest multie-mode quartz watch to operate.
Naturally, it has conditinuous readout, built -in illumination, battery life approximately two years, and the assurance of incomparable quality because it’s by Seiko, world leader in quartz. Seiko Quartz.

Great work by your watchman Pieter, especially to find new gaskets. Its a nice Seiko model, with a very nice strap. It also has a bit of a James Bond connection as it was one of the models used in the advertising posters. There is also quite a rare gold version I think

regards

Thank you Adam.
I know this watch is used in the advertisement of James Bond. 😊
It does have two months took this repair because parts are hard to get, but it is the repairer succeeded.
The watch strap is indeed beautiful for this watch,.

a few pictures of the battered watch, when I got it, before the reparation.
