Watches - another OCD problem

Mechanically pretty damn cool

more images please chiba. with a watch like that i can see why it would be your one & only. 1968 . . . the brand was still very young as i'm pretty sure they started in the early to mid 60s. if you wouldn't mind please share the backstory of how you came to own that beauty.
thanks

Thanks Monday. Appreciate the nice comments, but it's really not a particularly special watch (at least not as a collectible, to me it's special). Seiko is a pretty old company and the first Seiko watches were produced in the early 20s. These 5 series watches can be had pretty readily and for not too much dough.
I picked mine up at a used and vintage watch shop in the Ameyoko area of Tokyo for around $150. The shop has a very large stock, but this one stood out to me as more classy and rugged than the others. Works very well. And I think it looks sharp with the Nato strap from Taikonaut (great straps FWIW).

i wouldn't know an items "value" as i am far from a watch dude. i like seiko 5 cause they seem to do something well without pricing me out. i always thought the 5 series started in the 60s, but i'll go double check in a few. great find, more images please.
from your image i'm really into the bezel, nothing so fancy but it works for me.
thanks for sharing
