Description

Seiko F231-500A Vintage 1970s LCD Digital Watch, Stainless Steel, Original Bracelet, Running Seiko F231-500A — Here is a genuine piece of late-1970s Japanese digital watchmaking history. This is the Seiko F231-500A, a classic early LCD digital from an era when Seiko was leading the world in quartz and digital innovation. The watch features a bold rectangular stainless steel case with a jet-black dial surround, a crisp LCD display showing hours, minutes, and seconds, and the original integrated stainless steel bracelet with AA01A deployment clasp. The SELECT and SET pushers are present and functional on the front face. Caseback markings confirm: Seiko Stainless Steel, reference F231-500A, serial 9D0977, Japan-A. The bracelet clasp is marked Seiko Stainless Steel/L. Specifications: Case width: 29.2mm (measured by caliper) Lug-to-lug / case length: 57mm (measured by caliper) Case material: Stainless steel Bracelet: Original integrated stainless steel, AA01A deployment clasp Display: LCD — hours, minutes, seconds Movement: Seiko quartz LCD (Japan-A) Reference: F231-500A Condition: This watch is in honest vintage worn condition consistent with its age from the late 1970s. The LCD display is active and functional — the watch is running and keeping time as seen in the photos. The black dial surround shows light dust and minor surface marks. The crystal shows light scratching visible under close inspection. The stainless steel case back has visible surface scratches and fine drag marks, typical of a watch that was worn and used. The integrated bracelet retains its original links and clasp, with surface wear and light scratching throughout the links — again, age-appropriate for a piece of this vintage. No major dents, no missing parts, no broken links. Overall, a clean, honest, working example of this hard-to-find early Seiko LCD reference. This watch ships same day or within 1 business day of payment. Special Note: Every watch that I list on eBay has been photographed extensively and videoed. This means that once the watch leaves my warehouse, it is in the same identical shape as described in the listing. All listings are AS-IS. I will not take back a watch and return especially one that has been tampered with previously. If you choose to go this route, you will face overwhelming proof on my side that the watch was in the shape as described in the description and eBay will be notified promptly to help resolve the issue. #Seiko, #F231-500A, #vintage Seiko digital, #Seiko LCD, #1970s digital watch, #vintage Japanese watch, #Seiko quartz, #retro digital watch, #Seiko stainless steel, #JDM watch, #vintage Seiko, #collectible watch, #Seiko bracelet, #Japan digital watch, #rare Seiko
