Seiko Men's Vintage 33mm Gold-Tone Watch with Black Dial — PARTS/RESTORATION PROJECT Authentic Seiko wristwatch designed with a round gold-tone stainless steel case and a black dial featuring Arabic numerals. This listing is for parts or a donor watch, not a working timepiece. The case and crystal show scratches, and the quartz movement does not run; replacing the battery will not restore function. Ideal for vintage Seiko enthusiasts, watchmakers, and DIY restorers looking to salvage authentic components or complete a Seiko restoration using original parts.

This piece serves as a precise donor for Seiko repair projects. Use it to harvest authentic Seiko components that align with models in the same era or to rebuild a complete look with original styling cues. The 33mm case size offers a classic vintage silhouette that can complement both preserved collections and custom builds.
