For sale is this vintage Seiko "08QZ" (0843-5010), made in Japan in January of 1976.  The "QZ" series was the third range within the "Q" series which where more adventurous with their designs and colours. This was when "affordable" quartz was not yet available.  This model, reference number QMW020, cost ¥53,000 in 1976 which is equivalent to $980 today (adjusted for inflation). The QMW020 features a grey linen dial which has some ageing to it but still in relatively good condition given its age of almost 50 years old. The stick baton indices are high-polished and applied stainless steel with a black centre. The hands mimic the indices in styling and the seconds hand has a black tip. The seconds hand hits every marker satisfyingly. The Seiko logo and single crystal quartz logo are applied. The square case has some beautiful facets that are high-polish on the sides and brushed on the top surface. The design is super '70s. The Daini lightning bolt symbol on the dial and case back indicates it was made in the Seiko Daini factory (King Seiko) during their rivalry with the Suwa factory. The calibre 0843 movement is a very beautiful sight from the golden age of quartz when it was the new technology, with a stated accuracy of 15 seconds a month. Such a robust and over-engineered movement. The battery bridge is missing a screw but this doesn't affect the workings of the watch at all.  Can be set to either Japanese kanji or English days of the week all in black except Saturday (in blue) and Sunday (in red).Comes on the original adjustable Seiko bracelet. The ageing to the dial is not as noticeable in real life, the crystal is in decent condition but has slight scratches depending on the angle. General wear to the watch as expected. The slight yellowing on the left side of the crystal is the glue changing colour over time (i.e. it is not on the dial). The right side of the dial near the crown is slight corrosion on the dial but depending on the angle is not too bad.  Dimensions are: 33mm x 39mm x 10.4mm  Lug Width 19mm Bought in Japan.  Looking for $160 net (buyer pays Paypal fee) International Tracked Shipping $10 More pics: [https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjCjUqr](https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjCjUqr) \*Returns accepted but all return postage costs are the buyer's responsibility in all circumstances.
