My 56-year old Seiko Sea Lion . . .
. . . says Happy Thanksgiving!
Hasn't been worn in years as it's in need of service; slated for my watchmaker's bench in a week or two, hopefully with acceptable results. There's excessive wear in the reverser gears which might not be amenable to repair.
This was Dad's everyday watch for four decades. In that time frame he had it serviced once.
I had it serviced twice in the last fifteen years, but wear and tear accumulated over nearly half a century without periodic servicing might well render it irreparable. Fortunately, my current watchmaker trained at Seiko in the late '60s, so if anyone can bring it back to life, he's the guy.

Sharing my 52 years old Seiko and the vintage inspired King Seiko. Thanks for looking.
I had my vintage Seiko service two years ago, it is running well but of course because of its age, not the most accurate, the grey sunburst dial is still in very good condition and the lume still works. However, the date day function not working properly....
