    I normally try to stay away from f/s threads but I've the identical watch in slightly less good condition. Let's say your watch is like 87/100 then mine would be like 75/100.

    Anyway, these king seikos and this reference especially, are little mechanical marvels. My watch winds smoother than any vacheron or pp and I'm certain your watch is even smoother than mine.

    I'm not sure I'd pay 700 but I would defo pay close to 7 if I were looking for a legit daily wearer. Your watch is in very good condition. GLWS.

    (These watches are what I call money in the bank. Meaning if you buy right, you'll never lose a nickel and you get to wear and enjoy it every day).

    Two of the drive train wheels use a Diafix setting, which has a jewel hole and a cap jewel, similar to a shock protection system but just protects the hole and pivot from contamination. This adds 4 jewels.

    hi buddy,

    thank you for your comments, this is indeed a great watch. the reason why i am selling this is because i already have the first king seiko model J14102. feels redundant to have both in my collection so i decided to let go this superb watch.

    Howdy, I can't believe this beauty is still for sale. This watch is a gem. Not the hardest reference to locate, but a difficult one to find in this condition.

    Someone buy this thing, it's embarrassing lolzzzzzzzz
