Off out to a party this weekend — invitation says ‘dress to impress’ so it’s the perfect excuse to wear one of my ‘holy grail’ #Seiko watches.
Can’t decide if I go:
1982
Seiko T001 TV watch — as worn by #JamesBond in ‘Octopussy’1983
Seiko M516-4009 — as worn by Spengler, Stantz and Venkman in #Ghostbusters1984
Seiko UC-2000. Whilst I don’t think this has been featured in a movie, it does have a full qwerty keyboard!#vintagewatch #vintageseiko #vintagetech #vintagedigitalwatch
