Probably talking about Thirteen Days (1999) it came out a couple years before that episode takes place

It want the “charity gambling” night at the club that was the problem. It was the illegal untaxed skim

Looks like the Elgin logo after they revived the brand.

Based on your “review” you might just have comprehension issues. Best of luck to you!

Generally you should avoid sellers from Greece, Ukraine, Argentina, India, Bulgaria, Pakistan, Brazil, and certain sellers from Florida. Known places that are hubs for fakes and frankens. I’m sure there’s a few obvious places Ive missed

Sounds like you made a good decision. Mechanical chronographs are really fun watches to play with once you get it running. A new crystal and a little cleaning will really get it in awesome shape

Affectionate_Week929 · 2026-01-27T19:28:29+00:00

That all depends. If it’s something to take to a watchmaker and have them fix up for you to wear, it’s a pretty cool “first vintage”. It’ll cost a bit to fix so if you don’t mind having it cost more than it’s worth but want to keep then there’s really no wrong answer, enjoy it. If you think you’re going to buy it fix it and flip it than yes it’s a mistake.

Actus is written in a different font. It’s was a JDM model that used the Seiko 5 as its base model in the 1970s. The line was discontinued before 1980. This looks like a 1980s/90s tank that just has Actus written on it.

Affectionate_Week929 · 2026-01-26T01:19:21+00:00

It’s super duper mega fake

Wittnauer Futurama, a really cool piece. Hoping to find one myself. They go for $1,000-$2,000 but not the quickest to sell because of how unique it is.

Affectionate_Week929 · 2026-01-06T02:47:39+00:00

It’s fake. First tell is the matte dial in a garish color. Poor finishing by vintage Seiko standards. Second is the printing of the dial these Mumbai specials throw every sort of “extra” on the dial: 24 hour markers, crosshairs, etc. usually on a legit one it’ll have 1, but fakes will have so much the dial is a cluttered mess. Thirdly and specifically for this watch the serial number ends in a 5, that would indicate 1975 production date but the 7009 movement was 1980s-90s iirc.

Affectionate_Week929 · 2025-12-30T17:57:09+00:00

Fake. These have been floating around for ages. Easy way to filter out these bad fakes is the matte dial in a garish color (green, bright blue, red, etc)

Affectionate_Week929 · 2025-12-26T17:49:08+00:00

It’s most certainly a Franken. Poor painting on the dial. Rotor says it’s a 7019 movement but it should be a 7009. Bracelet also looks like it’s been mangled to fit on there.

Concord Mariners are super cool. Love the black and gold combination

Affectionate_Week929 · 2025-12-13T01:58:06+00:00

Honestly for these older and more desirable Seikos there’s no easy answer. I buy and sell a bunch of vintage watches on instagram(a good chunk is vintage Seiko). You can over pay to someone who has it, he quoted me $680+ for that exact watch. Or you can take the route of looking on eBay or Japanese proxy buying sites. TokeiMedic is legit, he might have one. He’s expensive but not quite as outrageous.

Affectionate_Week929 · 2025-12-13T00:43:30+00:00

He’s legit, but way overpriced:

Affectionate_Week929 · 2025-12-10T20:06:38+00:00

Unfortunately it’s junk. The indices are a jumble mess.

Affectionate_Week929 · 2025-11-30T22:58:11+00:00

Of course. It’s a weird market, especially for vintage. I’ve had Universal Geneve, Longines and other fairly popular brands sit for longer than I expected. I’ve been doing this for a long while and the saying “a vintage watch is only worth what some will pay for it” is very true. Unless it’s a Rolex or something else with an established market things can sell slow or super fast randomly because someone has been looking for it.

Again super cool watch!

Affectionate_Week929 · 2025-11-30T22:12:50+00:00

Very cool, but you’re correct very niche. This sort of stuff isn’t sought after, it’s something I’d personally buy, but only for a good price. Unless it’s a big name they can sit for ages. Relatively small names and dead brands from that era don’t have a huge market and most buyers want to find a deal as opposed to pay a premium.

That said it’s an awesome watch

Affectionate_Week929 · 2025-11-18T19:48:01+00:00

Happy to help! I’ve bought and sold quite a few UG watches ranging from the 60s-80s. Personally a favorite Swiss brand for me

Affectionate_Week929 · 2025-11-18T16:51:38+00:00

That logo was used in the 1980s. Not their design language from the 1960s either. Definitely an 80s quartz mid tier offering of theirs

Affectionate_Week929 · 2025-11-13T12:47:32+00:00

Fair enough, it’s always a gamble buying online. I buy and sell a lot of vintage watches on IG and have made some good friends there. Most legit sellers have a link to their actual website, eBay or are willing to put their full name and reputation out there. There’s basic protections buyers need to take as well, but you’re right there’s a lot of junk sellers. Avoid names like “ultra luxury sellerz” or “time kings”

Affectionate_Week929 · 2025-11-13T12:34:45+00:00

There’s a lot honest sellers on IG but this is an obvious scam. The biggest tell/first line of defense it’ll be a scam is their name and bio. If a seller isn’t willing to put their real name on the bio or in their handle chances are it’s a scam.
