45 years old and still going

Picked this birth year watch up earlier this year, It keeps fantastic time and I love it and make sure I wear it at least once a week. Unfortunately it's missing its original bracelet.

Id appreciate any advice on what style or where I can find one , Im in the UK

Very nice, the 7005 is a great movent; I have one in a different case and it also keeps great time. At the top of this page is a sticky thread on vintage references, and you can find a link to old catalogs in there (post #6). You might find an original pic with bracelet in one of those.

I have a 7006 from 1973 that I took the bracelet off of. The bracelet has considerable stretch and was bugging me. I love Seiko and mine was purchased in a pawn shop a year or so ago. I have no idea of the service history, but it's running just fine.

That's one sharp vintage Seiko. Enjoy.

The strap on mine is a little too narrow and the clasp is silver, not gold tone. I like it more on a strap than a bracelet.
