Incoming Vintage King Seiko

Picked up this 1966 4402-8000 KS in unbelievable condition from Adam (Old Expat Beast) here on the forum. I have been looking for a dressier watch and wanted to go vintage so this was a perfect option that came along. Really pleased with it. Cheers.

Congrats, I am very jealous. Such magnificent condition. I took a hard look at it when Adam put it up but alas I’ve vowed no purchases for awhile. Enjoy that beauty!

Looking great Blake...I'm glad it arrived safely. Thanks for a swift and smooth transaction. Wear it in great health, and just let me know if you ever need a reference

Gorgeous.

I've seen a couple of these (or similar version) several months ago. I was stunned, the size, dial, quality, ... is amazing and so so so good looking.

Wonderful looking watch. Personally the 44KSs are the pinnacle of the KS line (yes, I know that the 45KS and 52KS have “better” movements, but there is just something about the aesthetics of the 44 that makes them special).

I have a 4420-9990 Chronometer, and it’s one my favourite watches.

Enjoy it in good health.
