Seiko Good evening everyone, what do you think of this Panda? original? Don't be fooled by being too clean, the watch is quite expensive. I have very conflicting opinions, do not think as if too clean is synonymous with aftermarket, because perhaps an 8021 always kept in the correct climatic...
What are your concerns? It looks like a correct new old stock 6138-8020 that's sat in a drawer since 1978. Looks perfectly fine to me. Here is an original I had for comparison.
It looks very shiny, but has it been polished? ive seen similar ones that are supposedly nos and they looked very similar
Poorly polished case and the hands are aftermarket. Extremely common to find these with aftermarket hands and/or dial, obviously. I would also spend some time looking very carefully at the dial. Edit: I originally described the obvious tells about the hands, but then decided to delete them. Just study the hands carefully against some original hands.
