··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.This popped up in my local FB marketplace…. Guy wants $2k, which is nuts, but I’d be curious as to what experts think. No movement shots…. Enamel dial. Thanks….
1920s Trench Style Seiko?

·The enamel dial plus yellowed cellulose acetate crystal point to a pre-1930s watch. I wouldn't call myself an expert, but having owned a couple trench watches this one fits the bill.
There's an old thread on SCWF about early Seikos which reproduces some images from a Japanese collector's magazine that shows this watch as "Type 8" of 1927 onward (if I understand correctly). Should be a pretty small case if it is indeed a 19.5mm movement. Images not mine, so take with the usual grain of salt!
Edit: price is preposterous, but it would be great fun to have one of these!

·Wow, that's amazing. These don't come up often enough to have a discernable market price, so pay what it's worth to you. Being a Seiko, there will always be collectors interested in it.
