Seiko 6119-7090 Automatic Wristwatch/STERLING SILVER Native American Band
This is a truly unique VINTAGE item that you will be very hard pressed to find or put together from ANYWHERE. It is a SEIKO 6119-7090 that has been paired with a VINTAGE STERLING SILVER (see photos for Sterling Silver stamp) Native American Bracelet Watch Band, with Turquoise and Red Coral Color Stones, from the 1970's - 1990's. The first photo shows the front and side views. One of a Kind combination and a beautiful gift.
This is a pre-owned item. The automatic watch works, when you shake it, the second hand advances. However, you will need to add a replacement crown (knob), as it is missing (see last photo). You can go to a jewelry repair shop or buy one online. There are many sellers on ebay that have Seiko replacement crown knobs.
