Happy Father's Day/early Birthday to me!
Look what arrived in the mail this evening, just in time for Father's Day (my birthday is still a month away 😉). A 1969 Seiko 6119-8230, in near mint condition. I've been longing for my first vintage Japanese automatic, but was hesitant to get my toes wet. I found what appeared to be a trustworthy seller/watchmaker, consulted with my better half, and decided to pull the trigger. Super stoked to spend some time with a watch older than me. 😁 I can't stop staring at it.
Happy Father's Day to all you great dads out there!
