Seiko F322-5000D

[digibloke]

Just wanted to share this. Got it in a lot of Japanese watches I received at the weekend (bought the lot for a mechanical watch so this was a bonus). It's a Seiko F322-5000D dress watch and what I like most of all about it is that it sets using the crown in such an intuitive way that even I managed to figure it out (without instructions) in less than 30 seconds. I like that.

very nice bonus , is it a female watch?

What are you insinuating Kaspar

Funnily enough, last night when I took the picture I presumed it was a mid-size mans dress watch - the band is definately for a man. You got me wondering though. In the 1980 Seiko catalogue it's amongst the mens watches and there are pages of other mens LCD watches between this...



(and this...)



Which look like ladies versions of the same watch to me. Shame I can't read the text.

Anyway I'll take a pic of it next to another watch so you get an idea of scale when I get home from work to give a better idea.

It's not always easy the see the difference.

I just restored a nice 1975 original lip mach 2000 for the wife....oops not digital

Here are a couple of pics to give an idea of scale. The F322 is 27mm across not including the crown...





I think it's a bloke watch. An effeminate, small blokes watch...
