·Hello there OF shoppers,
Having hit 80 (yes, eighty) watches in my home in various states of repair, I have decided that it is time to have a bit of a clear out and reset - mostly because many of the watches in my collection fall under the "that's shiny and a good price, I should buy that" category, rather than the "I like that and actually want to wear it" category.
The Seiko Prospex SPB101J1 "Sumo" that I am listing here falls very much under the heading of "that's shiny and a good price, I should buy that".
Bought in late 2021 from a local jeweller that was closing down, it comes with the hang tags, but has no box or papers (they did not have any left) and frankly for the price I paid, I was not fussed.
This watch has a UK RRP of £740 - I paid £350 for it, and would like to get that back.
As you can see from the pictures, it is pretty much "as new" - there may be a few very very fine hairline swirls on the case from handling, but the camera is struggling to pick them up (please excuse any fingerprints!).
The bracelet is full sized, with a diving extension - I have adjusted the length by moving the pin in the clasp, but haven't taken any links out.

It's a very handsome watch, and as stated above, I fell in love with it because it was shiny and a really good price, but since buying it in December, I have worn it a grand total of once. Whereas the CWC Diver get's worn several times a week. The Sumo is a great watch, it's just not for me.
Watch is located in London, UK.
Asking price is (I think a very reasonable) £350 + Shipping.
Drop me a DM if you'd like to make it yours.
