Looks like the "AUTOMATIC" and "WORLDTIME" were applied at a later date...I am no expert

Seiko 6117-6400 Question
1 - 20 of 24 Posts
My 6117-6400 with bezel error not dial error. The 6117 was not a early World Time watch. They had the 6200 series back during the 64 Olympics in Tokyo. What the error dial (bezel) is the GMT is next to London and London is over Paris-Rome which is wrong as Paris is +1 hour to London 'where time begins'.

So...do you think the photo above (the black and orange model) looks legit? Thanks!

Yeah it looks right to my untrained eyeballs. There is actually a guy selling one of those on this forum. It's been up for sale for years. It's a really clean watch just missing it's original bracelet like the black and red watch. Same colours. Forget what he wants but should come up if you do a search.
Bracelet will be a ***** to find I reckon... could be wrong but .... it drives you mad not being able to find the correct bracelet!
Think the cases were polished on that model. Only one I've seen not polished was some guy in Wiltshire England who makes everything up out of aftermarket parts and then re-finishes the cases with a brush metal effefct. I could be wrong but I am sure mine has the correct finish as in chrome shine.
Check out my Navigator.... has the same finish and is basically the same watch....
Same case finish.
You could be right DAHASCO. Crystal doesn't look right profile either. Here's a poster from the '70s showing the high shine finish as standard I'd search the previous listings of this forum of a guy listing one for sale. It was super clean just missing it's bracelet.

Tough to tell from that pic! Sure wish I could roll in with a few hundred bucks today and have my pick!

I think the top ones are shiny and the bottom ones are brush finished. Only ones I can see that are brushed are ones that people spun in a lathe and not the correct brush metal effect that Seiko always used.
My World Time came from the original owner. It's not even been serviced as far as I am aware. That's shiny
John is yours a black chrome finish?

The cases are all polished on these 6117-6400's. Here is a photo of an original one I have that, as far as I can tell, has never been polished. Mine also has the inner bezel with the mistake.

Here's a pic of a NOS one I found on this site a while back. Owned by a senior member.....polished case;
