Seiko F221-5010

Post29 Jul 2013, 18:15

Ciao amici...here a new friend to my wrist: a NOS Seiko f221-5010 won on ebay one month ago...
Incredible quality as all Seiko's watches,this came from April 1980. It tells the time and the date (by pushing the left button).
Very simple and elegant with the leather band branded seiko.
A seiko F serie that i use for sure,very cool....is perfect for my small wrist... :mega: :mega: :mega: :mega:
Here some pics for you...enjoy ;-)

Simone,

Nice. Yes, the quality of these Seikos is quite high - the displays are very contrasty and I like the micro-pyramid reflectors that they used for a short period of time on the F221 and F231 models. I didn't know that they were made with different faces:

Congrats Simone! It looks very elegant and refined. I like the textured reflector panel, it gives a lot of personality to the watch. :-)
