    Hi all,

    For sale in excellent (close to near-mint)condition I have a Vintage 1960's Seiko Seikomatic 'Weekdater' Gold Plated 6218-897, with Original Box. Size is approx 38m (jumbo size for 60's) in diameter, with 19mm lug width.

    I bought this watch in early 2016, and have thoroughly enjoyed it, however now that some more high end pieces are being added to my collection I'm just not wearing it enough! So sadly have to see it go. As mentioned, it is in absolutely excellent original condition, with the movement and crown running strong.

    Asking for a REDUCED $280 USD firm
    , including PayPal fees on my end, and express shipping to Australia. EU, Asia and North America add $18 USD for shipping (the exact cost). Included is a nearly-new Crown and Buckel Black Label Leather Strap (colour - Alaric) that I bought a few months ago. This strap alone was $85 USD.

    Note: this watch is also listed on other forums so the watch will be sold to the earliest response. All sales are final (no returns - the cost of shipping is a significant percentage of final price so unfortunately it's not economical for me to accept returns and sell the watch multiple times. Please read this add carefully)

    Details:

    - Lovely silver (coloured) dial with a subtle sunburst effect. Watch pictured is actual watch being sold.

    - As far as I know through research, all parts of the watch are original and untouched. Excellent condition for a watch of it's age.

    - Movement is working excellently, keeps time to a few minutes per day currently with my gentle use. The crown and date changing action is also in excellent working condition.

    - Quick set date function (no quick set weekday)

    - Comes with (to the best of my knowledge) original box and outer box. no papers unfortunately

    - Particularly special is the Weekday complication in English above the 6 o'clock, showing every day of the week. Saturday is in bright blue, and Sunday is in Red (see photos below)

    - approx ~38mm dial, ~19mm lug width, so a very large size for it's time. You can see that it sits quite dominantly on my 6.6 inch wrist (see photos)

    - Case has very small scratches but overall is in excellent shape. The case back in particular is excellent condition. the imprint on the case back has been worn off, but you can still see the original imprint under the correct light (i've tried to capture this in a photo below).

    - I have only been seriously into watch collecting in the past 8 months or so, however I've made several (5 or 6) purchases and sales from eBay and forums and vintage dealers with excellent reviews. Happy to provide. (see eBay user 'hrobrobi') Have recently made a sale on this forum, and am currently asking the buyer to post a positive review post

    Thanks for looking!
