Up for sale is a Seiko A159-5009. It's in basically like NOS condition. It actually bought it for the bracelet but the condition was too nice that I just couldn't break it up. I will be including a running A159 (head only) so you'll be able to easily fix it up. I just don't have time to deal with it right now so hopefully someone who likes these will appreciate how nice it is.

Condition notes:

Case: Excellent with some minor wear from storage.
Crystal: Looks scratch free to me.
Movement: Not working so will need repair but I've included a working one so should be easy to get working.
Display: Couldn't assess but should be ok once repaired.
Strap: Comes on original bracelet that should fit up to 7.5" wrist.

Price: $175 obo, includes shipping + insurance + tracking to CONUS (overseas extra) [PayPal, Venmo or Wise]

Trades: No.

I do not accept returns unless the watch is grossly misrepresented. I do my best to accurate describe the watch but with vintage watches you never know what can be lurking unless they have a known service history. If you have additional questions or want pictures or videos let me know and I can provide them. I have multiple extremely positive sales on here and other places so buy with confidence. I also have references if necessary.

	Established:	1881

	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
