What do yall think are worth it to check / buy from.

Got this from Seiko store in Taipei. Loved the color

Obligatory post for my new watch! Beautiful Seiko Speedtimer (new reference). Bought to mark my birthday and a special family holiday. Currently in love.

I work for an antique auction company in Japan, where we handle estate clearances and receive all kinds of old and unusual items almost every day.

One of my favorite parts of the job is coming across Japanese watches like these.

Here are two interesting finds — a vintage Japanese automatic watch and a Casio Alti Meter. I really enjoy finding pieces that have clearly been used and have their own history rather than watches that have spent their whole lives in a display case.

Working around antiques has made me much more interested in older Japanese watches, so I thought I’d start sharing some of the ones that pass through my hands here.

If anyone knows more about these particular models, including their approximate production years, I’d love to hear it!
