The watch
This captivating Seiko 3803-7080, known as the 'Baby Morpho', is a true 70s icon. Its legendary iridescent dial shifts magically from deep blue to vibrant green under different light. The dial draws inspiration from the wings of the Morpho butterfly, creating a hypnotic effect enhanced by the dramatic faceted crystal.

The watch is in very good original condition with an honest, unpolished case showing only light signs of careful wear over its 50+ years. The faceted crystal has some small chips at 11 o’clock, and some light scratches with the most noticeable one at 9 o’clock.

It comes fitted with a stainless steel Seiko bracelet. Also included is a period-correct NOS stainless steel Bear bracelet, which matches the case shape and overall design particularly well. The day can be displayed in Japanese Kanji and English. The date wheel has aged to a slightly warmer tone over the years.

This piece is a rare and undervalued gem compared to its 'big brother' the Superior Morpho. It offers wearable vintage art with one of Seiko's most extraordinary dials ever made.

The quartz crisis
The "quartz crisis" was a major turning point in the watch industry during the 1970s and 1980s, driven by the rise of quartz technology. Companies like Seiko led the way, offering watches that were more accurate, more affordable, and easier to maintain than traditional mechanical models.

With the launch of the first quartz wristwatch, the Astron, in 1969, Seiko showed the world what quartz could achieve. Swiss watchmakers, known for their mechanical craftsmanship, were slow to react and lost much of their market share. The crisis forced the Swiss industry to restructure and helped shape a future where traditional watchmaking and modern quartz innovation could exist side by side.

Nice gold paper towel holder on a budget
Color: Gold-aa
For a less expensive option I was please with the assembly and the look. It did come a little scratched but mostly in hidden spots and for the price, can’t be beat. It is not super heavy feeling though, so if you want a really solid heavy holder this might disappoint, however I like that feature since I don’t want heavy things scratching and breaking my counter or tile floor. It doesn’t wobble and I like the color so I am mostly pleased, only giving it a little less of a review because it did come a little scratched

Does the job.
Works as a paper towel holder. Its a stick. It doesnt look like a cheap stick and it didn't break. Which means it met all my criteria. Great job.

Nice product
Color: Gold-aa
when having guests over, it's nice for each one to use their own towel instead of having a 'community' guest towel, or those fancy ones that people feel guilty using. This solved the problem.
