Choosing between these two vintage Seiko wristwatches comes down to what you want on the wrist: the 7N43-9070 centers on a 37 mm case with a Day/Date display, while the Slim Quartz takes a silver stainless-steel bracelet approach. Their listed prices are also far apart, so the design details matter most when deciding which direction fits your preferences.
Quick verdict
Pick the Vintage Seiko 7N43-9070 37mm Gold Time Day Date Quartz New Battery if a Day/Date display is central to your choice and you prefer the gold designation in its title. Choose the Vintage Seiko Slim Quartz Men's Stainless Steel Wrist Watch if you want the listed stainless-steel bracelet, polished silver case finish, and a lower listed price.
Both are Seiko quartz wristwatches with vintage positioning. The better fit is not about a broad winner; it is about whether you prioritize calendar information and the 37 mm case of the 7N43-9070 or the Slim Quartz's bracelet-focused silver presentation.

Where each wristwatch wins
Vintage Seiko 7N43-9070: for calendar-focused wear
The 7N43-9070 stands out for its Day/Date feature. That makes it the clearer choice for someone who wants both pieces of calendar information called out as part of the watch's design. Its 37 mm case size also gives shoppers a specific case measurement to use in their decision. The analog display and quartz movement support a classic, straightforward wristwatch format.
Vintage Seiko Slim Quartz: for bracelet details
The Slim Quartz is the more natural match for shoppers drawn to a silver stainless-steel bracelet. Its listed 20 mm band width, fixed silver bezel, snap caseback, and polished case finish create a more specifically described bracelet-and-case combination. It is also the lower-priced choice of the pair, while retaining Seiko branding and quartz movement.
Product notes
Vintage Seiko 7N43-9070 37mm Gold Time Day Date Quartz New Battery
This watch is a focused pick for a shopper who wants a 37 mm case rather than choosing without a stated case size. At USD 120.00, it sits at the higher end of this two-watch comparison, and its title gives it a gold-oriented identity distinct from the silver bracelet alternative. The analog quartz format keeps the design centered on familiar timekeeping rather than extra complications. Its important tradeoff is condition: it is described as pre-owned and in good condition, with wear consistent with age, including scratches on the crystal and casing. That visible vintage wear is part of the choice alongside its calendar-led appeal.
Vintage Seiko Slim Quartz Men's Stainless Steel Wrist Watch
At USD 46.49, the Vintage Seiko Slim Quartz is the practical choice for shoppers who specifically want a stainless-steel bracelet in silver. The bracelet has a listed 20 mm width, while the polished silver case and silver bezel keep the stated finish consistent across the exterior details. The "Slim" name also provides a clear style direction for someone choosing between these two Seiko quartz watches. A concrete limitation is its fixed bezel: shoppers looking for a bezel other than a fixed design will not find that preference reflected here. Its strongest case is the bracelet-and-finish combination at its listed price.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Vintage Seiko 7N43-9070 for a stated 37 mm case and a gold-designated vintage Seiko. Choose the Vintage Seiko Slim Quartz when a silver stainless-steel bracelet, polished case finish, and fixed bezel are the details you want to wear.
