Let’s see if we can get a new Vintage Seiko Photo Gallery going here.
Anything from the 20th Century qualifies, so put 'em up! I’ll start off with one of my favourites: a 1969 King Seiko 5621-7000 Hi-Beat Automatic ![]()

That is a nice watch, Adam. On my dad's watch, it also says 'waterproof'. I don't know if Seiko still uses the term 'waterproof' anymore. Moreover, all watches now (that I know) use the term 'water resistance'. Can someone educate me the difference between waterproof dan water resistance?

Good morning sir!!! Not trying to hijack the thread but, I have a Seiko World Time Model 6217 I believe, auto, 17 jewel movement. I thought this model came out with some connection to the 64 Olympics also. My friend bought it when he was overseas during the Vietnam War. I've had it since 7TH grade!! Know anything about the origins of this model???

I don't own a Seiko at this time. Have owned two in the past. I learned from them that Seiko = Value.
Great pics, love 'em.

Couple of pics of my 1960s Weekdater, with a brochure and postcard of the Singapore Seiko showroom from that period.

I want to say I got it about 15-20 years ago.
Went in to an antique shop and looked in to a showcase and thought I was looking at an Ingersoll alarm clock, then I realized it had lugs. Got it out and realized it was a Japanese military watch. Their neighbor was a WWII vet and had brought it home with him. 9 jewel "Kamikaze" watch. 48MM. Case and movement signed Seikosha. |

Nice pickup. Vintage King Seikos are great value compared to their Grand Seiko counterparts.
