Seiko Alba Neatnik | March 2003, NOS, quirky, "what is that?"

Let's be honest - we all have that hope inside of us that someone is going to walk up to us on the street and say "wow that's a cool watch!  what is that?!"  Don't lie.  I know it's the truth. 

This watch will make that happen. 

The Alba "Neatnik" line was introduced in 1999 because some designers at Seiko were doing drugs.  This is one of the watches that spawned out of that drug-addled madness.  The case is a two-toned, aluminum and brown plastic UFO that sits on top of a peach colored strap.  The way you tell time is through a half-moon window on the watch face and three sets of double-sided hands.  Sound complicated?  It is!  I have to stare at this thing for like a minute to actually figure out what time it is.  But that's not the point.  The point is to attract autistic baddies at the mall.  

Condition is pristine.  There is nothing about this watch that makes me think it was ever worn.  It looks like it sat in a drawer for 20 years and just resurfaced when a bunch of grandkids tossed grandpa's old stuff.  Watch is running well on a new battery.
