Awesome watch
As far as i can remember, the small led light flashes every second.
I found an old auction of a similar watch.

Very nice watch, I got one cheap because it was listed as a "Seiko UFA"
The watch needs two batteries because of the flashing led. Early seventies quartz coolness.

Here is a detailed gutted review of the 3923 LED, enjoy :)
I'd be very grateful if someone would have the blinking Crystron 8600 to borrow for a week or two.

very nice review, would love to see a few wristshots so i have an idea how big it looks. Still one thats on my wanted list
incredible piece...timeless watch.

the wrist shot will not be much different than the above pictured model. it's not huge, only thick.

I'll think about it :) I still have to see how to properly glue the crystal back. (almost lost it )

[azimuth_pl]

Weird to see a plastic back on a Crystron.
Is it original or maybe somebody used a workaround for a missing caseback?
I'd apply an armored tension crystal, it would very likely do the job just right.

I meant the front crystal I have the proper metal caseback with battery hatch

[azimuth_pl]

he :) get the point, a matter of word sequence and you get a different meaning.
the mineral front crystal should be tension fitted so the gasket is very likely aged and doesn't hold any longer
