I have been looking for a nice Seiko LCD for quite some time, but they are hard to find in excellent condition for a reasonable price, but I stumbled across this on online and pulled the trigger on this Seiko A628, I am very pleased that I did.
The condition is fantastic, it dates from June 1981, I remember looking at these watches round about that time. I just left school in 1980 and I could not afford such a watch, so it made me smile to wear this one all these many years later. There is probably the secret of most people’s collecting, well it is certainly a part of mine, it takes us back into times past, where we look back with fondness.
The bracelet is not original but the clasp is correct to the time period and maybe the watch, I may well give the bracelet a brush, to give it a better match to the watch. (Look out for another post coming soon, where I will give a basic tutorial, in how to do so). I will try and find a period bracelet to match the watch, but I am no rush to do so, as in in will not spoil the pleasure in wearing it, in the meantime.
