Yes, I didn't want to say in my post, but since you agree, I'd have that blue yacht over the the King any day. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Here's the full page. It's from a June 1961 newsletter for Seiko dealers.

Just found this thread. I viewed every page. It's wonderful to see such fascinating watches and the stories with them. Amazing that some are running fine still with no service.

Obviously quality and price do not go hand in hand. Seiko continues to amaze me with their quality.

Kind of obsessed with the ultra-thin internal Seiko wars of the 1950s and early 1960s at the moment. Was wearing a (Suwa) Liner today; just purchased a (Daini) Goldfeather, both with carved dials, now on its way from Tokyo. They're just such amazing, beautiful, timeless watches...

I think it's vintage. 1979 Seiko 150M Diver 7849-701L Japan edition on an Uncle Seiko bracelet. Love those Pogues people!
