Hi all,

Looking to tap into some of your expertise. I was on our favorite auction site and found a newly listed 6117. Look up "seiko 6117-6040" as it is listed in error.

Here's the funky thing...the seller states it is an early error dial. What I see is that the placements of "automatic" and "world time" are the reverse of any other I've seen. Fake dial?

Thanks,
Mike

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!

Mike

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.

Ok, thanks. This one looks nice but the case looks quite polished. Will give it a think. Thanks!
