    Prior to purchasing this, I had my eye on a 62GS Seikomatic however I passed on that to pick this up instead. In the end, this didn't quite catch my fancy so I'm putting it up for sale.

    Like the 62GS, the case is slightly similar in terms of thickness and curvature. Instead of paying close to 1200USD for that, I purchased this and in terms of finish and dial/markers/handers I feel they are 99% similar being in terms of the seikomatic family line/quality.

    Case size is 36.6mm, 19mm lugs with the signature crown at 4 o clock.

    There's a ding to the case at shown in the pictures.

    Watch was purchased with a recent service. I don't have any documentation for this however I do trust the previous seller. Watch runs about +0-5 secs, and at 220 amplitude as shown in pictures. Do take note to quick set change the day and date at 6pm so as to not to damage the wheels.

    The dial finish is very nice, there's a tad of wabi at between 6-7 o clock on the edge. Else it's clean. Beautiful applied logo and markers faceted. Dauphine hands. Case looks unpolished to me.

    Watch is sold watch head only, if you are someone I know in OF, I can throw in a generic leather strap.

    Since this is a catch and release, I'm asking for what I paid for, 385USD, I will cover PayPal fees and shipping (with tracking)

    I have 100% positive reviews on OF WUS and on IG @sdrewatches

    Please feel free to check in with me if you need more details or pictures.

    As compared to a 62 GS Seikomatic, this 95% there without the curved lugs. For a fraction of the price. IMG_20190619_160319.jpg IMG_20190619_160327.jpg IMG_20190619_160334.jpg IMG_20190619_160339.jpg IMG_20190619_160352.jpg IMG_20190619_160400.jpg IMG_20190619_161104.jpg
