SOLD!!
I bought this a month ago after being intrigued by it for years, the seller had a "CraZy"
price for it that i wouldn't have ever paid, but i finally talked him down on it after watching
it for years. i am realizing that i am just not the kind of collector who is going to have one
of everything. And the Mintiness of this watch has me so i'm not going to wear it out
of the house ( it has a few tiny, tiny flaws that you'll find on any watch that has been in
storage for 2 decades, but it presents as new.) So, it's for sale.
It is a very unique watch, and i've never seen one for sale before, though 2003 of them
were made in 2003. I wrote a review of this watch for The Watchsite, so i'm going to put
a link to that article that'll tell you pretty much everything you'll want to know:
www.thewatchsite.com
here are some specs on it:
Dimensions:
Diameter 40mm across the bezel
Thickness 13mm
Case:
Stainless steel brushed finish
Uni directional rotating diver’s bezel
Domed sapphire crystal
Signed screw down crown
Caseback inscribed with limited edition serial number
Dial:
Black "hobnail" textured pattern
Outer scale marked in minutes with thick luminous indices
White/black gloss hour and minutes hands with luminous fill
White seconds hand with luminous dot
Movement:
Seiko 7S36 automatic, 23 jewels
Quickset day and date
Non hacking
Non manual winding
Band:
Integrated, all stainless steel with solid links
Double push button folding clasp with safety lock, diver’s extension
Adjustment by split pin
I would not advertise the 200m water resistance, as this watch is now technically
an antique, i would replace all the gaskets on it before immersing it. Any competent
watchmaker could do this, or dive shop.
Bezel is actually 41mm across, this is an important number, because it really is what
reads as "watch", the bracelet is such a wrap-around affair that the case around the
bracelet reads as bracelet. The bracelet has all the links in it, will easily fit an 8" wrist.
SOLD!!
I paid $Seven-Tweny-Five for it, mainly because of it's rarity and mintiness. I haven't
worn it enough to change the condition, and i need the money to keep my teeth in my
head. So, i'm trying for $395 net, but i am happy to entertain any offers by anyone. I will
send to all 50 states, not the Conus, what the hell is up with that? i will send to Canada
and Europe for whatever the postage will cost above ten dollars, ten dollars is what it
costs me to mail a package domestically, so i'm just trying to be fair. You can email me
directly at [email protected]
Thanks for Looking, and thanks to The WatchSite.

Review of Seiko 5 40th Anniversary SKZ205K1
This watch has been for sale for many years, and i talked some sense to the seller and made a deal with him. The watch is here now, and i am very, very impressed with the weight and the quality of this watch...89 grams without the bracelet, 192 grams with it, a very solid watch. Note the case...
