Welcome to The Rusty Goats Time Emporium LLC, where we find vintage treasures that have survived worse conditions than our pasture fence!
Up for grabs is a classic 1980s neo-vintage Seiko SQ 100 (Reference 8123-6009).
THE GOOD:
Unlike our lazy breeding buck, this watch actually works! We just dropped a fresh battery into the Japanese quartz movement. It is ticking strong, keeping accurate time, and ready to report for duty. The day-date complication currently reads "MIE 14" (Wednesday the 14th in Spanish), making it perfect for bilingual humans or exceptionally cultured farm animals.
THE BAD:
This vintage beauty has clearly sparred with a few head-butting goats in its past. The crystal, bezel, and case show a healthy amount of honest, hard-earned vintage character (scratches and scuffs). Please examine the photos closely; we don't hide the wrinkles on our old nannies, and we don't hide the scratches on our steel.
THE UGLY (The Bracelet Situation):
It is missing several original links. Unless you have the dainty wrists of a newborn pygmy goat, this bracelet will likely pinch you tighter than a crabby badger. You will almost certainly need to source replacement links, swap it onto a leather strap, or just gift it to a very stylish chicken.
