Vintage Seiko TV Watch T001 - 5019 “James Bond/World’s Smallest TV” - Good Cond.
Item History & Price
Up for Auction is the Famous Seiko TV Watch from the early 1980’s. It was in the Guinness Book of World Records for “The Worlds Smallest TV” and was also featured in the 1983 James Bond movie “Octopussy”! Coincidentally, this TV watch I’m selling here was made in March of 1983 as per decoding the Serial Number. The watch is in good condition for its age and has very... minor scuffing on the watch and some minor scratches on the watch glass. (see Pics) There is a long scratch on the back cover from removal for Battery servicing from the previous owner. May be possible to have it buffed out as it’s not a deep scratch! It could use a new battery hold-in retainer clip as part of it has broke due to the age, however I’ve patched it up so that it holds the battery in place the same way and the watch functions with No issues! The watch itself functions as intended and keeps accurate time as well as the alarm and chronograph timer work! It also has a Day and Date function that work properly. All 3 of the side push buttons work Very Well and push with little ease and Do Not get stuck. The LVD TV display also works but it’s very hard to receive channels as we’ve now switched from an Analog signal to a Digital Signal. I’ve tried to get a channel to play on the TV screen but the best I can get is the fuzzy, “popcorn”. This could also be due to where I am in the house or the area where I live. The watch band has most of the links but I believe some are missing from the previous owner. I have included a much similar watch band to go with this watch as the link design/colour is about the same and will fit the Original band if ever needed! Unfortunately I do NOT have the Original Seiko TV Watch Box, Instruction Booklet/Warranty Card or headphones that came with this watch kit but I have made a watch box that I will include in the sale! The Watch does have the Receiver, the Leather pouch and the Cord to connect the Receiver to the Watch for TV Use (See Pics) Please Note: the black felt watch holder is Not included, it is merely for picture taking purposes Only!
This is a Highly Sought Out Collectable Seiko watch that would add Nicely to anyone’s Watch collection! It will be sold “As-Is” due to the age of this watch to the Highest bidder!
