I'm still quite new with collecting watches but I am aware of the luxury brands. I must admit that my "want" list would include the well known brands but I cannot afford the Patek Philippes, Rolexes, Hublots, Panerais and others that will set you back hundreds of thousands of pesos. That money is better invested elsewhere. Still, so far I am able to acquire some really good pieces to my collection.

| The watch has simple features including the baton hands and the absence of a second hand. There is also no date or day feature. I like the rectangular shape with the rounded corners. The linen dial adds some elegance to this vintage dress watch. |

| The back looks quite plain... |

| The watch reminded me of my old Seiko quartz that I had worn when I was in high school. |
I have timed this watch 2 times with the first one reaching 48 hours on a full wind and the second about 46.5 hours. The model is a Ref. 2583 and supposedly with a caliber 89 movement (18,000 bph). This model came out sometime 1980 so this is a 37 year old watch.
