Also included are the original box and papers from Thong Sia in Singapore, and a spare acrylic crystal that is correct for this reference.

Case condition very is good, with some wear on the caseback but all text and the “5” logo are still visible.

The movement appears to be in good physical condition, and showing ok vintage time at under +30 seconds a day in the dial-up position, with minimal beat error and good amplitude on my timegrapher (see final pic below).

Old Expat Beast - Fantastic Seller

Just had a super smooth purchase from Adam . The timepiece was even better than represented. Adam was very responsive and great communication. A painless international transaction from HK to USA. I received the timepiece quicker than many domestic transactions. Thank You Adam!

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
