Imgur link: [https://imgur.com/a/1Afv242](https://imgur.com/a/1Afv242) **note**: Please see the first picture, at the Imgur link. The dial has a flaw behind the Grand Seiko logo. It’s only visible at certain angles, but it’s there nonetheless. I tried to capture it in the first photo. price: $725 (firm) payment: PayPal Goods & Services FREE shipping (CONUS only) This is my first time selling here but I have a 20-year history (all positive) of over 100 transactions on eBay. I can provide a link to my profile there upon request. **DETAILS** diameter: 36.5mm lug-to-lug: 42mm thickness: 9mm movement: cal. 4520, Hi-Beat, manual wind A great example of Taro Tanaka’s “Grammar of Design.” note: The edges on the case are sharp. The watch appears to be unpolished, but I can’t be sure. This is a no-date, Hi-Beat manual wind—the purest of the design philosophy from Tanaka. Serviced by Ashton Tracy (The Seikologist) in April 2023 and hasn’t been worn since. I’ve only tried the watch on a few times (it’s too small for me, my daily is a 41mm). The watch comes on a -like new- strap from Veblenist.

	Established:	1881

	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.
