Some watches are made to last only as long as they are fashionable
Some watches, simply are not made to last
Seiko watches are designed to withstand the ravages of both time and fashion
Someday perhaps, all watches will be made this way

I restored one of these last year.
Now I am stunned by the biddings going on on this particular model; Its not NOS (although described as so..), and I doubt if this is the original bracelet.
Lets see where this ends.. I will probably breach the 1000usd barrier

The LCD display features quite thick looking digits. Is this how the displays originally looked or is it a feature of aging? Thanks for any insights that anyone can offer on this point!

The digits suffers some bleeding indeed, in my opinion this is a risk

This is how its supposed to be, I restored this Citizen last year with the help of an Italian friend, the topicstarter :)

Thanks, I can see how the clean display should look from your thread
Very nice piece. The outline shape of the case reminds me of an early Optel but the overall LCD display is very distinctive
