Other: This gorgeous Seiko Bell-Matic Alarm is the definition of value - How did they pack so many features into one watch while retaining such a minimal design aesthetic? You get a reliable self-winding automatic movement with a functioning mechanical alarm and day-date display in a 38mm stainless steel case with the original bracelet. Speaking of the original bracelet, it is super comfortable (there is something special about these old beads of rice bracelets). In the Heuer world, a similar Gay Frères bracelet would cost you over $5,000 ALONE. This particular Seiko Bell-Matic Alarm comes in collector-grade condition with an unpolished case and a versatile look that can be worn with just about anything!
