For those vintage Seiko aficionados, up FS is an excellent example of the 6138-8000 chronograph, AKA Baby Panda 
. A bit of background on this model: it was introduced in 1971, the 23 Jewels version of Cal. 6138B was in production for only one year, making it particularly rare, and cased only inside the 6138-800x, a Japan domestic model. This particular model is slightly narrower and lighter compared to its respective jumbo 6138-8001 sibling which makes it very suitable for thinner wrists. The Tachymeter ring is thinner which makes the dial very subtle and cleaner.
This chronograph is in near-mint condition:
or (preferred) F2F in the GTA

- The case is strong with just some light scratches. The dial is the main attraction here as it is very clean and the hands are still intact including the orange tip.
- The original bracelet is in very good condition and has few scratches and still retains its sharp edges with the sticker still present on the clasp: You can enjoy the brushing lines as it still shines beautifully in the sunlight. It is currently sized for a ~6.3 wrist but comes with extra, original links.
- The bezel is in good condition with no sign of bumps and the glass has no visible scratches.
- Pictures are part of the description; please let me know if you’d like additional images, angles, etc.
