The Story

A Seiko 5 Sports SNZG15 in a 42mm stainless steel case, with a black military dial, a 24-hour inner track, and the day and date at three. The SNZG13 shares the same head and differs only in the band it shipped on. The caseback is marked Seiko, 7S36-03J0, St. Steel, Water Resistant 10 Bar and Movement Malaysia.

It runs, and the crown sets the time. The 23-jewel 7S36 winds itself as it is worn and does not hand-wind or hack. The crystal carries fine hairlines between one and two o'clock and a scuffed patch near six. It comes on an aftermarket navy zulu strap.

The caseback marks the movement as made in Malaysia, and the watch was found in a United States collection rather than sourced in Japan. Checked here by hand: it runs and the crown sets the time. Graded against the same scale as everything else on the shelf.

Condition & faults
GoodFunctional: Works

Tested. It runs, and the crown sets the time. Accuracy over a long wear is unknown, and there is no service record with it.
Fine hairline scratches on the crystal between 1 and 2 o'clock, and a scuffed patch near the 6.
Scratches and small dings on the steel case and bezel from wear.
The dial and hands look good.
The caseback is rated 10 bar, but water resistance is not guaranteed on a pre-owned watch.
The strap is an aftermarket navy nylon zulu, not an original Seiko part.
Grade Good. The crystal hairlines are the main mark against it, along with the case dings and no service history. Priced for all three.

Includes: The watch on the aftermarket navy zulu strap. No box, no papers.

Shipping & returns

Shipping

Every piece ships insured from California, packed the way we’d want our own sent. US orders usually arrive in 2 to 4 business days. Canada takes 5 to 10, with tracking, and any duties are settled at the border.

Returns

You have 14 days from delivery. If a piece isn’t what you expected, we’d rather have it back than have you keep something you don’t love. Send it back in the condition it arrived and we’ll refund the item price in full. Return postage is on you, unless the piece arrived not as described, in which case we cover it.

Servicing & what “vetted” means

Vetted means one of us went through the piece by hand, worked every function, serviced it, and graded it against the scale on The Standard, with the faults written into the listing.
