I was finally able to find the BMBY (birth month, birth year) watch for the Clairvoyant. And this one's another King Seiko that I got from my suki from Fukuoka. For some reason, I was also able to get this for a low price given how these rare pieces go on the market today.

| This model does not have the typical gold medallion at the back. Instead KS is etched to the case back. The model number is consistent with the one indicated on the watch face/dial. And the serial number shows the year and month of manufacture. This one states the watch to have been manufactured in January 1973. |

| The watch when I tried it on after installing the Hirsch leather strap. |
 |
| The Seiko 5625 movement runs at 28,800 beats per hour. |
This quickly became a favorite and many days we do a "twinning" thing by wearing our BMBY watches at the same time. It's now part of her own rotation that includes her Baume, a Grand Seiko quartz and her favorite Swatch chrono diver.
