The case and hands are solid 16K gold, as are the numbers on the face. It still has the original crytal and is in pristine condition. Only the band has been replaced, and that was before 1979 when my Dad passed away.[ATTACH]36932[/ATTACH]I got a Seiko self-winding dive watch back in 1981 and paid $125 for it back then. It has been the only watch I ever wear diving, at least 350 dives since then. It is in perfect condition, the mineral crystal is still pristine, and the numbers still hold a "glow" for a good long time once subjected to bright light. Nearly every time I go to the dive shop to get my tanks refilled, someone offers me money for it. I have been offered as much as a grand for it, always just smiliing and telling them it is not for sale.</blockquote>
