Album: https://imgur.com/a/xSgXXYw Timestamp: https://imgur.com/a/KXBg5ww For sale is a very unique watch, something of a "Grandpa Alpinist Mod". The case assembly and hands are from a Seiko Alpinist 85899 circa 1964, while the dial is from a J13033 around the same period. Approximate measurements: Case diameter: 35.0mm (without crown) Lug to lug: 43.0mm Thickness: 9.0mm This watch is in used condition and comes as pictured on an aftermarket nylon strap. This piece comes with a generic box only, no other accessories included. I'm not sure when this one was assembled but it is a stunning combination and extremely unique. Cosmetic discolouration on the dial and wear on the case as pictured. Service history is unknown but the 17 jewel manual winding movement is keeping reasonably accurate time on the timegrapher. Asking $750 USD shipped tracked and insured to CONUS. Canadian and other shipping available at an additional cost. Payment via Wise, Wire, Crypto, e-Transfer (for Canadians), or PayPal Invoice +3.9% for established users. No trades and please comment before messaging.

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
