    Hi OF

    For your consideration, an absolutely perfect Seiko 6119-6050 SN : 921XX produced in Feb 1969. It still has blue sticker residue on the caseback, and comes with original hang-tags and bracelet.

    Dial: Perfect original black dial in mint condition. Lume plots are perfect with zero degradation or patina. Hands and inner rotating bezel have matching clean lume. Minute hand has patinated.

    Bezel x2: Mint external rotating bezel with no chips or scratches or dings. Mint internal rotating bezel. This is the only Seiko with dual bezels, and apparently they serve for regata timing (http://www.thewatchsite.com/16-seiko-reviews/314986-seiko-6119-6050-6053-regatta-watch.html).

    Case: In razor-sharp mint original unscratched condition, all factory finishes present.

    Caseback: Correct for this model and reference, still with blue sticker residue.

    Movement: 21 jewels 6119 movement with quickset date (not day - the later ones come with a quickset day I believe).

    Crystal: Mint original crystal.

    Crown: Mint original crown. Pressing advances the date. Rotation controls inner bezel. Pulling out sets the time. Day can be advanced by toggling hour round midnight.

    Bracelet:
    Comes with a mint original Seiko railroad bracelet. It fits my 7.5inch wrist, I believe it will fit an 8 inch wrist.

    Notes: Service history is unknown. Looking at this watch, it would appear NOS, but that is a term I loath, and I can not guarantee nobody wore it in 49 years. I would be surprised if this watch was ever opened up or serviced. I never wore it. Looks as though it spent its whole life in a sock drawer. All functions working, but i would service it before considering wearing it.

    References: Sold 3 watch here before, have a 100% good rating on other platforms (if you would like to check those, please PM me).

    Asking price: Hard to put a value on this...’rare’ is another term that makes me feel bilious, I have no idea of the production volume, but these are generally hard to find, let alone in this condition. I will accept 2250CHF OBRO.

    Shipping to be discussed.

    I would prefer a wired transfer, but will accept Paypal (buyer covers fees).

    The watch and I are located in Switzerland. Face to face also welcome.

    Returns accepted if the watch is grossly misrepresented. Seeing as the pictures are of a high quality, there is no chance of misrepresentation.

    Why I am selling : I have another, well beaten one, with similar mint dial and lume (and patinated minute hand) and inner rotating bezel ... that one is serviced and I wear it.

    Thanks OF for this space :thumbsup:
