The case back is stamped SEIKO, 6106-8439, WATER RESISTANT, STAINLESS STEEL BACK, BASE METAL TOP, and JAPAN A, with serial number 120199.

Condition report:

The watch is in well-used vintage condition. The acrylic crystal displays significant surface scratching and scuffing. The gold-tone finish on the case and expansion bracelet shows visible wear, thinning, and some pitting, particularly along the edges and high-contact areas. Accumulations of grime and debris are present in the crevices of the case and bracelet links. The automatic movement is untested and its working status is unknown.
