Specifications
Condition Report
This is a pre-loved watch in very good condition for its age. The watch has recently undergone a full service and deep clean and presents extremely well on the wrist. There are light age-related marks to the case, bracelet and bezel as expected from a genuine pre-owned Seiko sports watch, but nothing that detracts from the fantastic overall appearance. The dial and hands remain bright and attractive, with the blue dial particularly standing out in natural light. Please take care to study our pictures carefully as they form part of our description.
