Re: Beech Wood Vs Maple. Beech is nothing like maple. By no means buy the beech and pass it off as a match to maple. Discuss it with the client and offer a sample of beech with a contrasting finish.
Seiko 5 is a line of automatic movement watches that are on the lower cost side of autos, but they are not call them less capable. A lot of people on here have Seiko 5s, especially in the affordable watch forum. I think one of them could help fill in a lot more! Zeno Basic Pilot automatic.
Refer to the Seiko Movement Table for a list of movements (see Resources). Look at the serial number. The first digit of the serial number represents the year within the decade (for example, if your watch was made in 1995, the serial number would begin with a 5). The second digit represents the month.
