Seastar Saturday…
Accidentally bought this from a local antiques/tat shop. I think I’d noticed it a few months ago but today it tickled my fancy enough to ask the price. Came with a Tissot box, whether it was the right one or not isn’t important.
For some reason a (more modern) Seastar has been in the back of my mind for years.
Been wearing it for a few hours and it hasn’t yet gained or lost significantly. The crown is likely a service centre part from decades ago.
Crystal has a crack along the vertical, and scratches like it was rubbed against a wall while walking. Perfect.
If I replace the crystal I’ll feel scared to scratch it, so I might keep it looking rough for now.
We also came away with a Casio W-59 but the other half immediately claimed it.
