Notes: You have the opportunity to acquire a Rare Blue Dial Seiko Alba Aqua Gear APBD075 V145-0J90 Solar Scuba 200m Stainless Quartz Dive with Original Bracelet. The watch dates to January 2002 based on the caseback serial. This may have been an early production version the black dial Alba AEFD529 which has received rave reviews in the past by dive watch enthusiasts as a great value diver. The V145 solar movement with a 6 month power reserve and date complication was best known in the popular Seiko Prospex SBCB009/SBCB0011 Titanium diver series, but the Alba sub-brand did also use the movement in a few of their watches. No significant cracks or deep scratches on the original mineral crystal. Deep blue solar dial in great shape with beautiful cathedral hands with only slight again; lume still good strength. Stainless case and screw-down caseback in very good shape. Undirectional click-rotate bezel in good condition with only a few light scratches. Unsigned screw-down crown secures well. The movement is clean and the watch keeps accurate time and power reserve seems normal (it's never gone down to 2-second ticks on regular wear); service recommend for all vintages. The bracelet is currently sized for my 7.5 wrist with a 5 extra microadjustments; there are no extra links. No box/paper/tags. Watch is rated to 200mm but had not been pressure tested. The Seiko Alba Aqua Gear divers have received a cult following as a great bang-for-buck, go-everywhere divers. This blue dial APBD075 is particularly rare - don't miss out!
Given that this is a pre-owned watch, service history is unknown, water resistance is not guaranteed and warranty unavailable. Sold AS IS.
