Black Seiko watch with gold dial, leather strap
Description
I lost my black Seiko 5 watch yesterday around 3pm. It has a black stainless steel case, a gold-tone dial, and a worn brown leather strap with a couple of creases from daily wear. There’s a tiny scratch on the top-right corner of the case and a faint blue thread poking out from the strap keeper—super noticeable if you inspect it. I last saw it near The Square, at the corner of San Antonio Street and Hopkins Street in downtown San Marcos after I stopped for a quick coffee. It was a gift from my grandmother and carries a lot of sentimental value; I really need it back. If you found it, message me through the app and I’ll get back to you quickly.

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.
