Does anyone know the original price(s) of the Type II Seiko quartz watches? (The Penis Quartz)

And this, kids, is why you shouldn't go to the pool with your watch. Or at least with a bracelet.

To the guy from the last thread that asked about how my new blue Mako USA II looked in the sun: it looks fantastic. Noticed the guy at the drivethrough at Chick Fil A peepin it as he handed me my food. Probably thought it was some cheap rolle knockoff though

like 25k - 30k jpy id mid 70s

I don't know sorry.
I paid $40 for this one, came with the 5606 so they probably weren't very expensive

can anyone give me any recommendations on a skeleton face watch around 200 shekels or so? i have seen plenty, but they are all made by questionable manufacturers. i just want a nice looking, well functioning watch that i can see the guts on.

I have the same watch, is there anyway to repair the finish?

hahahahah, it's funny you mention that almost all my watches, but one (not including my G-Shock) have bracelet bands. Only 1 has a leather band.

That bitch enjoys sea water

Okay, sank you.
