I remember seeing these (with regular lugs, I recall) when I was in high school, and lusting after them. 
Very Cool! (n/t) (Views: 3)

Very nice and remarkably similar to one of mine...

The face looks familiar, no? Thanks for the great report! I appreciate your posts.- Jeff
Sure does! Just might be the same 7F39 Seiko movement! (Views: 6)

Certainly the layout seems to be an exact match. If it has a 2nd crown at 9 o'clock, that is?

Jeff!
We
certainly seem to be in good company in liking this watch. A quick
search of the SCWF turned up one from none other than yobokies...
..and given HIS knowledge of watches (and, indeed, all things horological!) that speaks volumes.
And one from our own Jim Halinda...
..though, WTH has Jim been lately? Last archived post I got from him is 2007! 
And this one from.. ahh, crap! Forgot to tag the poster. But 'tis a nice photo!
And perhaps my favorite, by BrandonS;
Brandon has also posted here on the 
in the past.
Ennyway, the 
7F39 movement is way, way, way under-rated, I reckon!

Yeah, it does have one hiding under my cuff. (Views: 4)

I understand that LaSalle is(was) a Seiko brand. That watch is my college grad gift from Dad in 1988.

Ah! Yes, now that I brush the cobwebs out of me cranium, I do believe you're right.
Almost certainly a 7F39 hiding in there, then.

>>making some quick measurements of that 16mm strap. Like
springbar-to-tang on the buckle end, and springbar-to-hole on the other
end, plus the range of adjustment of the holes.
I got a couple
Elgins around here, which take a 16mm strap, and while my wrist is not
as big as yours, it's bigger than most guys around here. And those
elgins are smaller cases. So, I'm trying to gauge whether or not to
specify the x-long strap.
And finally, I say if Miss Pamela has been eyeing that watch, you better shine it up for her. 
You can admire that seiko just as well on her wrist as on yours!

Sure thing! I make it.. (Views: 4)

springbar-to-tang on the buckle end = 86.5mm
springbar-to-first-hole on the long end = 66mm
springbar-to-last-hole on the long end = 107mm
hole spacing = 7mm

It's available in a Long as well as X-Long. Prexactly how that differs dimensionally.. well, that's up to you and Otto.

Hey! I don't steal HER watches!

You're safe in the case of me own fat-ass wrist, sure.
But not from Miss Pamela!
No
indeed, she's almost an exact match, at 6-1/8 inch. Only thing that
saves your bacon is, she likes her watch to fit a li'l on the loose
side (if I adjust one of hers to the same class of fit I like, she says
"It's strangling my wrist!" 
) , so 6-3/8" to 6-1/2" works for her.
thing is, the OEM bracelet was adjusted to ~ 5-3/4" when it arrived. Is your wrist really that small, PaulGeo? 
-Ricky
AM hiding all my watches. and yes paul geo's wrist is smaller than mine too (n/t) (Views: 4)

Hey now. It's not the size of the wrist that matters as much as what you can do with it. (Views: 6)

At least that is what I've been told all my life by ladies I've arm-wrestled.
Hmmmm. Wonder why that sounds familiar?
