Item History & Price
FOR AUCTION, A VINTAGE SEIKO MEN'S 100 METER DIVER, A MODEL SKX031, REFERENCE 7S26-0040, A VINTAGE MODEL IN A MODIFIED STATE TO LOOK LIKE A "62 MAS", SEIKO'S VERY FIRST DIVER MODEL. THIS WATCH IS VERY SHARP AND MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE THEN A REAL 62 MAS. IT IS ALSO TESTED FOR WATER RESISTANCE (I AM THE ONLY SELLER THAT WATER PROOFS THIS MODIFIED MODEL). THE WATCH FEATURES A NEW REPLACEMENT BLACK 62 MAS DIAL THAT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITHOUT ANY STAIN OR FADE. THE DATE AT 3 O'CLOCK IS... SET WITH QUICKSET VIA THE CROWN, IS CORRECTLY CENTERED IN THE DISPLAY FRAME, AND WORKS PERFECTLY. THE REPLACEMENT ACRYLIC CRYSTAL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITHOUT ANY SCRATCHES. THE NEW 62 MAS SILVER AND WHITE HANDS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITHOUT ANY PATINA OR STAIN. THE ORIGINAL SOLID STAINLESS STEEL CASE HAS BEEN REFINISHED AND BUFFED AND HAS HAD THE CROWN GUARDS REMOVED TO SIMULATE THE 62 MAS CASE, WHICH GIVES THE WATCH A "BIG CROWN" LOOK. THE CASE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITHOUT ANY SCRATCHES. THE STAINLESS STEEL ROTATING ELAPSED TIME BEZEL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AND ROTATES IN EITHER DIRECTION WITH CLICKS. THE BLACK AND SILVER 62 MAS INSERT IS A NEW REPLACEMENT IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AS WELL. THE LARGE STAINLESS STEEL SCREW DOWN CROWN IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND SCREWS DOWN TIGHTLY FOR 1.5 TURNS. THE ORIGINAL STAINLESS STEEL BACK PLATE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH A FEW SMALL SCRATCHES AND ALL MARKINGS ARE CLEAR AND COMPLETE. THE WATCH IS ON A NEW AFTERMARKET SEIKO Z-22 CURVED VENT DIVE STRAP. THE WATCH WAS SERVICED JUST 4 WEEKS AGO, AND HAS BEEN TESTED FOR WATER RESISTANCE. THE 7S26, 21 JEWEL AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT IS RUNNING STRONG AND ACCURATELY. THE WATCH WAS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED IN FEBRUARY OF 1998. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A SEIKO MODIFIED DIVER IN GREAT SHAPE, EVERY COLLECTOR OF SEIKO WATCHES SHOULD HAVE ONE! IT IS A MEN'S LARGE SIZED WATCH (40 mm not including crown X 46 mm lug to lug). PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!!
