[WTS] Spring Cleaning: Vintage Seiko, JNR Citizen, Marathon GPQ
Clearing out a number of watches that I no longer wear regularly. A few of these were experiments that I didn't mesh with, others I love, but find myself making excuses to wear. **1968 Citizen Homer- $300** Japanese National Railroad-issued conductor's watch. It's in fair condition for a 45 year-old watch, but has a bit of scratching on the crystal and an unknown service history. I have put it on an old leather strap as a placekeeper. **Seiko Prospex Speedtimer SSC819- $325** The current model solar-powered Speedtimer. It functions well, but has some minor scrathes on the lugs from strap changes and the clasp from desk-diving. Also has minor discoloration on the tachometer bezel from wearing while staining woodwork. **Seiko 6139-6002 "Pogue"- $400** July 1972 Uncle Seiko H-Link bracelet, Seiko Quartz tapered bracelet The original space chrono; wear it every Tuesday instead of that other space chrono everyone talks about. It's in typical vintage Seiko condition with scratches and patina, and the chrono second hand does not snap to zero. The crown snapped off at one point and while it was replaced, the inner bezel no longer spins. **Women's Seiko 2906-0370 day/date- $50** October 1979 Small women's watch. Typical minor scratches on case and dial for the age. Crown is crooked, but functions properly. My wife thinks it's too sporty for her tastes. **Marathon GPQ Maraglo- $100** Robust little watch in good condition. I picked this up as a weekend beater, but find myself regularly falling back on my old weekend beater. **King Seiko KS45-7001 (clean)- $700** May 1970 This watch is in great condition with beautiful sunburst dial and exhibition caseback (stock caseback included, as well). **King Seiko KS45-7001 (patina)- $500** July 1971 Custom "smoked" dial treatment, with some scratches on the case; I think it's quite rock&roll, essentially asking the wearer "What would Mick Jagger wear if her were much poorer?" This was my first foray into vintage Seiko and I love this watch, but I think it's redundant in my lineup, unfortunately. Please don't buy.
