A recently received a vintage Seiko Laurel that appears to be older than my other Seiko Laurel. The seller declared this as having a restored dial (not modified or modded) so I knew what I was getting when I purchased the watch.

The watch back shows the Suwa emblem and the serial number indicating the watch to have been made sometime April 1961.

Close-up of the restored dial. I thought this was nice restoration job except for the style for the 'S' in Seiko and the color. I have yet to do research whether the Laurel had blue dial variants like this but you can easily Google similar watches with the 'S' being a more complicated script.

Seikosha 11 jewel movement (photo from the seller) - I have not timed the watch to see how long it lasts when fully wound. I will just indicate that information here as an update when I get to do that.

I got this from a seller in Vietnam. It took quite some time to be shipped as he was not located in either Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi, which would probably have made shipping faster. I also noticed that it took about a week after arriving at the international dispatch center before they were able to send the item from Vietnam.
