Blue-dial Seiko 5 Sports watch with engraved back
Description
I've worn this blue-dial Seiko 5 Sports almost daily for the past year. The watch has a stainless steel bracelet and a cobalt blue dial with white lume markers, plus a day/date window at 3 o'clock. The back is engraved with my initials PK and the date '2023'. It’s in decent shape, with a couple of hairline scratches on the bezel and a tiny nick on the left lug from a minor grab. I last had it yesterday around 3pm while walking along Main Street in Placerville, Gold Country, near the Gold Bug Park entrance and the old courthouse. This watch means a lot to me—it was a gift from my sister and I wear it every day. If anyone found it, please email [email protected] or text; I can meet up at Placerville City Hall if needed.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
