Thank you for looking, we are SECOND HAND HOROLOGY!
SEIKO Watch Co.
Seiko Watch Corporation is a Japanese company that specializes in the production of wristwatches, clocks, and electronic devices. The company was founded in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori in Tokyo, Japan. Originally named Seikosha, the company started out producing clocks before moving into the production of pocket watches in 1895.
The Seiko 5 is also steeped in horological history. When it stepped onto the scene in 1963, it was revolutionary. Seiko set out to build a watch with five attributes, from which the watch gets its name:
- Self-winding automatic movement
- Resistance to water
- Day-date in a single window
- Recessed crown
- Durable case

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic
wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
Please view our other listings.
Thank you for looking!
Please, if you have Zero or Low feedback, please contact us prior.
Please be aware that the item you are
bidding on or purchasing is a VINTAGE item. If this item is a watch, unless
otherwise noted, it is keeping accurate time over a 2–4-hour time period. We
specialize in watches that are 20-100 years old, and as such, these items are
previously worn, and the quality of the item WILL reflect that. Expect for a
vintage timepiece to have blemishes... this is part of what gives these amazing
pieces their charm. Further, unless a watch specifically says that it has been
recently serviced, expect that at some point in time, this timepiece will need
a professional servicing in order to run and keep excellent time, which is also
part of the experience of owning any mechanical watch. If an extremely
accurate, worry-free experience is what you are seeking, we would
recommend purchasing a new quartz watch. Very few, if any, vintage watches
will keep as accurate time as a modern quartz watch.
We do our absolute best to take accurate photographs of our items and to show
any blemishes.
Examples of common characteristics of a
vintage timepiece are:
-imperfections on the crystal
-imperfections on case
-imperfections on the lugs
-unless stated that the strap is new, the leather is often quite old and may
need replacing in the future
-metal bracelets may not include all of the links that the watch originally may
have come with, but can be replaced with a bracelet or strap of your choosing
If the item is a piece of vintage jewelry, be aware that the item may have some
minor blemishes such as:
-missing stones (view photos, we will NEVER photoshop in a missing stone or
piece)
-minor scratches or discoloration
-fading of plating
-fading of paint
We do our best to take accurate photos and provide accurate descriptions. Please take time to view our high-resolution photos of the item, and please ask any questions you may have prior to placing your bid. We want this purchasing experience to be pleasant and surprise-free. Vintage and antique items, unless "new old stock", have been around the block a time or two.
Thank you for your business! We hope to see you return in the future!
