Seiko C135-5007 Flea Market find

[Al_Mc]

I picked up a Seiko C135-5007 Calculator watch at a local Flea Market today. It's in very nice condition and has Box and tags. What do you think folks?

Wow wow wow!!! Great watch (in my opinion the band is not the original)....
I love fleamarket eh eh eh....

Thanks Simone. That's a bit of a disappointment that the bracelets not original. But the good news is that I got it for a good price, everything works perfectly and it is in very good condition.

I'll have to check out what an original bracelet looks like and start the hunt!!!! I'm Betting it won't be easy to find one.

Dee-licious. Nice catch. I've never found anything like that at a local sale. Well done. The strap looks like a nice match if it isn't original.

What a fantastic find, and all original! Its hard to see on your picture (to Simone) but the front panel is actually gold and matches this bracelet.
Its a model/combo you don't see very often, and certainly not in this fantastic shape
Congrats!

Its the right bracelet. Amazing find. I have one here and had others in the past. It must be Seikos worst quality bracelet. You only have to look at the gold plate and it falls off. Thats probably why you see so many others with alternative bracelets.

Sorry Al,i wrong...



Never seen before....

That's okay my friend. Apparently I bagged a rare beast (and the picture's a bit washed out).

Cool that it's original ... The bracelet is pretty chintzy for sure, but it's in near perfect shape.

Thanks for the feedback folks.

Very nice
It's the original band, but this watch is the C153 and not C135

Good spot, I cant believe I missed that, although I spend most of my time correcting my typing where on finger is faster than the other.
