Seiko 6119-7083.
This is my dad's watch.
His mom got it for him around 72-73, for finishing his first year at college. He wore it day/ night with regular service well into the 2000s. With the increasingly disposable economy, the watch servicing industry declined, and the available watch repair person gave up on the watch, claiming that the parts were too worn.
I wanted him to be able to wear it again, and managed to overhaul the movement using parts from eBay and refinished and polished the case/ crystal.
This beauty is finally back on the wrist, and he loves it!!!
