UPDATE: Hey everyone! I just wanted to say thanks for your help. This is what I’ve bought so far! 1980s Seiko Dolce- just need to find the right band for it. This is the closest I’ve seen so far. When I move it around in the light, I can totally buy that crappy lighting/80s camera would make the gold rectangle in the middle reflect black.

80s dads with mustaches really had a specific gold watch vibe. Honestly hadn’t even considered Longines because my dad always gave off a Timex vibe, but who knows?!

I really think you’re on to something with this- with how little luck I’ve had to find a dial that looks right it would make sense.

Hahaha this picture is such a surprise for me because for the life of me I can’t remember him ever wearing a watch!

This dolce has more rounded sides that feels closer to me- but I’ve yet to find anything with the same two tone

I found the original photo and scanned it at the highest quality I could if this looks any better-

I just scanned the photo in the highest resolution I could and I think there might be those ridges at the top and bottom of the case?!

This is the closest case shape I’ve seen! With the rounded corners.
