Hello, 

I’ve recently inherited my dad’s old seiko well not that old but i’m pretty sure it’s a Seiko Kinetic Ska192 and I was wondering what the value would be (not that i would sell it I absolutely love that watch) I’ve looked on eBay couldn’t find it, on Chrono24 couldn’t find it I even looked on local markets 

Thanks !317AB484-6C2F-4878-B128-0BF5BAB4E1DF.thumb.jpeg.10872c7c1c4f2eceeead0558b40b5424.jpeg

Nice watch!  I like the look of the dial even more than my own.  
Answering value questions on this one will be very difficult.  I am sure its worth as an heirloom would far exceed any selling price.  I have a Seiko Kinetic Sports 100m that I've had for sale on Ebay for quite a while now.  It's in very good condition and keeps excellent time; it is just not my style.  I am more attracted to vintage and antique watches. I've listed my Seiko at a "Buy-it-Now" price of $130 US.  It has been relisted several times and I've had no offers.
Several sites have these kinds of vintage Seiko Kinetics for sale at prices of $200 to $400 or a little more.  And theirs haven't sold yet either.  They are excellent watches, truly, and should be worth about $200 to $400 depending on condition.  But I believe the lack of demand may be in the process of adjusting the estimated retail price.  In reality, a watch's selling price has a lot to do with finding an enthusiastic buyer, and how much that buyer is willing to pay.
For my own Seiko, nobody has even offered me $100 as yet.  And I won't entertain offers below that, because it would be too much of a loss, after the work I put into it.  I may be keeping it.  And who knows, I may come to appreciate it more.   They really are fine watches.

    • does anyone knows what type of battery this digital Watch takes?  
    • Hello good watch folk ,I  just fancied a light hearted discussion after my head was starting to spin over Epilame 😅. Specifically I'm meaning the sale of vintage watches, say nothing past the 1980s market. The stuff we see on ebay and other similar sites and found at carboots, curio shops etc. And are  we thinking its reaching a peak volume ?  Younger generations clearing out passed parents and grandparents possessions.  The younger folk are not as sentimental as the old fogies ( I'm now nearly at an age that i used to think was old fogie age ). When might it have started ?  i often wish i discovered the hobby much much sooner when selling your grandfathers pocket watch at a boot sale for a few quid was just a way to offload some tat. And when might it slow down. Thoughts anyone ?
    • Yes i did eventually realise that the oil will act as a barrier, I'm sure the discussion will continue. Ive had two oleophobic coffees ( added coconut ) and in the meantime i have this just delivered to take my mind off epilame for the time being. My favourite type of dial, its a beautiful looking watch traditional English made and it runs,  the ticktock is phenomenal,  i can hear it across my living room .  You wont believe how much it was. Thats interesting about synthetic oils , i thought the same, going from a 2 year service to 5 years is a big drop in income for service folk.  I expect some did well when they embraced the use of synthetic,  probably drawing in more customers than those that didn't use the new fangled substances , i bet fairly short lived though. The more frequent service makes more sense to me, not for just the service but for the regular check up inspections that might pick up impending faults. As far as epilame goes, wouldn't it be great to be able to fumigate the complete movement in a sealed jar of heated stearic acid, 🤔 now theres a thought 😅.
    • Imm going to close the discussion by attaching the photo of my super-titanium after several vicissitudes finally working. Purchased as not working I replaced the battery and for a stroke of luck I found its semi-new solar panel which, having verified its operation, seems to recharge the accumulator perfectly. I had taken this watch almost by bet, with 40 euros I brought it back to life. The initial half idea was to resell it to finance another purchase, but.. it's definitely a nice item. It would need to check the impermeability but it's a pleasure to see it on the wrist 😃
    • In fact the secret is to go gently and find the way without forcing, and the movement enters without problems
