Japanese-made, and found in a United States collection rather than sourced in Japan. Gone over here by hand, every function worked, and graded against the same scale as everything else on the shelf.
Tested and running. Battery age is unknown, so budget for a fresh cell.
The crystal carries a field of light surface scratches and scuffs. It is photographed straight on so you can see it before you decide.
Gold-tone finish shows light wear overall, and the caseback has the storage marks you would expect.
The strap is aftermarket black leather, stamped 16, on a generic gold-tone buckle. It is not the original Seiko band. Flex creasing, with plenty of life left, and standard spring bars if you would rather fit your own.
Grade Good. A working watch that wears its history, priced for it. The crystal is the reason it is not graded higher.
Includes: The watch on the aftermarket 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.
