Hi everybody!
I just won this 395,which was advertised as "Original SEIKO except a Leather Band & a Buckle", but I have my doubts.
Here are some pics:
I am doubting it's originality. From pics I have seen on the web (at Seikoholics), I dont think the crystal should have a cyclops, or have as pronounced a dome as this. I also think the crown should be signed (with SW).
Actually, I'm not even convinced the caseback is original. The pics I have seen show a dolphin on the back (the seller doesn't even show the back), and inside the back has some sort of weird little pattern where this one says 321.
Do any of you know much about these?
It's a real shame, as I've wanted a 395 for a while, but I'm not paying for a Franken.
