A good TV cased Seiko SQ, on the original full length bracelet.  Not particularly rare in the day, but harder to find now.  Model reference 8123-5110.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in August 1983.

CONDITION

These were not the cheap watches of the day.  We have looked at a 1983 Argos catalogue, and a similar Timex was £19.99, a Sekonda £33.99 and a similar Seiko SQ was £69.99.  The extra money spent 40 years ago shows now.  The 8123 movement still works perfectly, with quickset day and date functioning perfectly.  The day can be set to either English or French.  We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner.  The dial is clean but the Hardlex crystal does show a few scratches.  The gold plating is good but not perfect – the watch has been worn – and the case has small dents.  The bracelet is full length which is unusual to find.  The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
