路At best after market service parts.
Worst case.
I did know this before the purchase and the price reflected that, but I do like these.馃憤馃え

路Got a delivery of a few pieces today for my collection, thought I would share them!
Seiko 'Katakana' (1940s)
My understanding is that there was a short period during the war (WW2?) where the government banned the use of any enemy language, and as a result, Seiko used Japanese on their dials. Really nice piece NOS with the original tag attached -
Seiko with three-toned dial and applied Breguet numbers (1950s)
Really love this one, dial is perfect and even though its only about 30mm, I'm still going to wear it.
Seiko 'Steve Jobs' 6431-6030 (Circa '83)
This is the simple quartz watch, made famous by Steve Jobs. His watch sold for around $42k some time last year. I came across a NOS vintage piece with tag and sticker on the case back and couldn't say no 馃榾. Super cool piece!

I think it's a term started on one particular forum but seems to have spread into sales posts on various other sites without possibly being taken up into their mainstream posts.

[Edit: I can't seem to make the link go to the start of the thread. Sorry.]
Only just discovered it myself this weekend as I've just purchased this one (hoping it gets shipped tomorrow) and been trying to do more research.
Looks to be an Australian sold example of the SRPC49; I think we got the English/"chinese" kanji day wheel.
No "Made in Japan" on the dial or caseback which I think is specific to the JDM SBDY005 which also got the English/Japanese Kanji day wheel.
Still not 100% sure on everything about it. Some markets got an English/Roman Numerals wheel and it's still not clear to me which is the J1 and which is the K1 version or even if each varies by location.
I've already ordered a khaki Crown and Buckle NATO, as suggested by @Foxy100
and the white on black Japanese kanji day and date wheels as displayed on the following example by xplay on WUS. Though, judging from my past performance, it might take a while to get this actual mod completed (by a professional, certainly not to be done myself).
