| Description/Comments: | |
| This is one HUGE Seiko Sports 23 Jewel Automatic wristwatch that is New Old Stock (hang tag and original box.) It is all stainless steel constructed with one of the neatest bracelets I have ever seen. This watch is in excellent "new" cosmetic and running condition. This is a new one in my collection, but I am starting to think that it is my "favorite" everyday watch. It has been pointed out to me that if "this watch is so big and heavy that, in case of an emergency, it could be taken off and used as a weapon!" I love it!! | |
