I recently came across a really nice looking Seiko Grand Quartz 9943 at the Hard Off (Japanese thrift store) in Hachioji. After doing some research about the 994X movement, I'm very tempted to pull the trigger on this sweet vintage Seiko. However, I have some misgivings. My main concern is that the face numbers don't match the case back numbers. The face says 9943-8040 and the case back says 9943-8030. Please forgive the poor picture of the case back, but it says 8030.
My question is, could this be correct from the factory, or does this watch have a mismatched face/case back? Furthermore, should this be enough to deter my purchase?
As always, thank you so much for your time and knowledge.
