·I have now reached the "perfect balance" for my Seiko sub-collection (one diver, one chrono, one dressy watch) and this one must go.
This watch I am posting for sale is a quite decent and honest Seiko 62mas, one of the first divers in Seiko history -in dispute with the silverwave, which I think cannot be considered a truly diver. Hence, let us say, this is sort of a piece of Japanese watchmaking history.
If you check all the photos, this is quite a decent example of a 62mas: dial is in excellent condition with a bit of patina, case is used but has not big damage and edges and corners are still sharp. Bezel is used and has little scratches all around, but not important nicks or bumps. The luminous pearl at 12 is intact and original. Dome plexy cristal is near flawless and no deep scratches or nicks are present (please check the photographs). Crown is original and unpolished. Strap is a wjean 1:1 reproduction of the original.
The caseback is one of those bearing the dolphin, which are more sought after than the plain ones. Dolphin is clearly visible and I think it has never been polished, though it has the obvious impact of use and worn.
On the cons side, I must mention I had the watch serviced last November as the tritium in hands was starting to flake off. I own a watch that had the same problem and, when tritium particles enters in the movement, it is worse (an more expensive) medicine than the disease. In that service, tritium in hands was stabilized and a respectful restoration was made. Colour in hands is quite similar to that in indexes (please check photographs) and the hands are untouched and keep the patina in the steel part.
Additionally, the movement was serviced and adjusted at the same time. Some parts were replaced: balance bridge, oscillating mass and automatic winding bridge, as the original oscillating mass and bearings were out of tolerance and were starting to beat the movement when the watch was shaken. These parts are original service parts from Seiko, but they are not from a 6217 movement but a 603 movement, which is virtualy the same (except the date module). I must mention this in order to be fully transparent as a seller.
Nevertheless, as said, this is one of the best examples of a 62mas you can find out there (please, check the photographs carefuly).
Taking all this into account, my price for this set is 1.450 EUR or BEST REASONABLE OFFER. I am including in that amount Paypal payment fees and shipping internationally with EMS to your door. Nevertheless, due to customs issues, I shall give preference to EU deals, as I am based in Spain.
Regarding returns: I think watch is quite faithfully described above and I can answer all the doubts you may have and provide all the photos you may need, so as international returns may be difficult and expensive due to shipping costs, insurances and customs, I am not accepting them.
Many thanks for your time and to Omegaforums for the oportunity to sell this here.
