This is a Seiko 7019-5000 also known as a min Monaco or poor mans Monaco. Lovely piece and had been in my to do pile for nearly a year. Bought the watch at a fair for £20.00 not running. 10 months later as the same watch fair I found a gold one with the correct bracelet but in rough condition for £5.00! this then spurred me on to putting the two together. The service was uneventful and nice and easy. Clean inside as many of these closed case Seikos are. Cleaning the gold plating off the bracelet took a long time and I resorted in using a Dremel and some abrasives to get under it. It was successful although some links near the clasp are not that nice. I refinished the case and polished up the crystal. The finished look is just beautiful so lucky to have found that bracelet too.
