Got this from an estate sale - says Seiko Hong Kong on face the back cover has what looks like some kind of Asian drawing - when I removed the cas the watch says
No 0 Jewels
Unadjusted
Premier Precision Ltd
Hong Kong
Japanese Part
Just seems weird to me that the back cover doesn't say Seiko with model number / serial number isn't that typical?
And inside don't see Seiko either
Just wondering if this is a real Seiko or not and if so what model would it be and what timeframe would it be from
Thanks for any help
Not a real Seiko, but a fake, probably from Hong Kong in the 1970s/1980s. The movement is a standard, cheaply produced one used by various unknown watch brands at the time.
Thanks for the input - that was my thinking but not a watch expert so wanted to make sure
PP was a subcontractor for Citizen watches..lot of quartz watches. Your watch is likely a counterfeit.
Here's a few links about pp

This link has a lot of good information even mentioning the markings inside like your watch. You'll have to scroll a little before you see that info in first post.
