Hello !
I’m curious if some one else have seen this model with the chronometer label in the dial instead of “chronograph” label ? Or is the dial to another Seiko Watch ?

Best regards / M

I vote bad redial, no japan and ref numbers on the dial.

Find a good one and grab it. I think these are undervalued, especially with the bakelite bezel.

What would you pay for this , with bad dial ?

Nothing, this one if for parts only imho. You may find a pusher and a bezel , the dial I doubt it and if you find one it will have cost you more than a good one in total.

I would not buy it. I suggested finding a good one. This one does not qualify.

Sometimes it seems expensive to buy a good example. But then a few years later the prices have gone up so much that you really wish you had bought one while they were still within reach.

I think I got the last affordable and good condition 6117-8000 out there. You can’t get parts watches for what I paid for mine.

there are still some affordable gems in the Seiko catalog from 1965-1974. You just have to hunt.

There's actually one from 1964 that I like quite a bit.
