For sale is my vintage 18k Grand Seiko 4522-8000, produced between 1969 and 1971. By case shape and texture, this piece bears some resemblance to the Seiko Astronomical Observatory, though the dial is different. This model was only ever produced in solid 18k gold, and I believe the production of precious metal pieces were limited to one month each year in the vintage era. This watch comes with a taupe colored leather saffiano Delugs strap. Condition: The overall condition of the case is very good, as its been unpolished and still retains some mirror like finish on the edges. The caseback has some normal light scratches but in great shape. The dial itself is in almost perfect condition, though the hardlex crystal has some light scratching on it. Price: $3850 USD. I'm open to offers so please PM me if you have an offer or questions. Fully insured shipping is included. Prefer to ship CONUS, but international shipping can be discussed. Payment through Zelle, PayPal, or wire. Photos Link: https://imgur.com/a/MC2LMYw Timestamp Link: https://imgur.com/a/SXYh8Sh

	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.
