Hey guys if you don't mind, if you see a cool looking Seiko on eBay or another forum that is vintage ( not new )and decent shape please let me know.
For some reason I have no luck on eBay trying to find one, I found a cool looking one on eBay but the seller from Australia will not ship to US.
Thanks

Will do Art. Do you have a preference of Quartz or Mechanical? Also a rough price range? Remember as well that back in the 70's the Quartz Seiko's tended to be the more varied in looks due to them being the movement people really wanted at the time! ( oh how times have changed for watch fans!)

It doesn't matter on the movement. A plus would be if it looks better on a leather strap. I would like to keep it under $100. Thanks

Oops, sorry Art. I just posted that and then saw your price point! I will adjust my searching. Actually, the one Chip saw yesterday in the Seiko identification thread was a beauty and well within your price point!

Oh wow I really like the gold King Quarts. Art, I just did some research. It was made in January 1977 and is a '77 model year watch. It is gold capped so that's solid Gold. I looked in my catalogs and it sold in 1977 for the equivalent of $600 in 1977 money which allowing for inflation comes out to around $2350 in today's money.
