Hello all, Up for sale is my 140th anniversary limited edition seiko ginza alpinist reinterpretation. Just a little backstory, I bought this when they were first released. It was shipped from the UK to a seller in the states. I purchased it from the seller in the states. This is the full package. Inner/outer box, papers, and all the links. The photos and timestamp are up above. I can dm more pictures if needed. The crystal is flawless. The condition of the watch is as pictured in the photos above. The watch runs just as good as when I first got the watch. Still good for another 3-4 years before it needs a servicing. Price: $1375 US only. I prefer zelle, but will also take Paypal f&f. I’m also open to trades however i’m more keen on selling it.

	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.
